Dfx 0.14.2 issue

Developers Command Line Tools

Hello everyone,

I have issues using the latest version of dfx 0.14.2. I’m simply starting a hello world project with the following steps:

dfx new --type=rust hello
cd hello
dfx start --background

This leads to the following error (not only in hello project, but also in other, existing projects):

thread 'canister-http-adapter-actor' panicked at 'Could not start canister http adapter.: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }', src/dfx/src/actors/canister_http_adapter.rs:196:41
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Same steps with dfx 0.13.1 works like a charm…

Any ideas?

Add --clean flag might fix the issue,

dfx start --clean --background

dfx installs its cache by creating a temp directory and then renaming it, in order to avoid a partially-populated cache directory, but if somehow your cache directory does not contain all of the above files, you could run dfx cache delete and then try again.

Thanks, deleting the cache did was the trick! Before running this command I only had extension in the cache folder, after that it looks like in your comment and everything runs smooth again…
