Board is empty even if there are jobs available to show

[vkouk]

Hello all,

I am using latest versions of both bull-board and bullMQ although for quite some time I'm facing the issue where even if I have jobs available to show the board remains empty. My configuration is used as expected for example on jobs module

  BullModule.registerQueue({
            name: ProductJob.ResetProductsStock
        }),
        BullBoardModule.forFeature({
            name: ProductJob.ResetProductsStock,
            adapter: BullMQAdapter
        }),

and on my workers.module

        BullBoardModule.forRoot({
            route: "/queues-dash",
            adapter: ExpressAdapter
        }),

 {
            "name": "resetProductsStock",
            "statuses": [
                "latest",
                "active",
                "waiting",
                "waiting-children",
                "prioritized",
                "completed",
                "failed",
                "delayed",
                "paused"
            ],
            "counts": {
                "active": 0,
                "completed": 0,
                "delayed": 3,
                "failed": 2,
                "paused": 0,
                "prioritized": 0,
                "waiting": 0,
                "waiting-children": 0
            },
            "jobs": [],
            "pagination": {
                "pageCount": 1,
                "range": {
                    "start": 0,
                    "end": 9
                }
            },
            "readOnlyMode": false,
            "allowRetries": true,
            "allowCompletedRetries": true,
            "isPaused": false,
            "type": "bullmq",
            "delimiter": ""
        },

Any idea how this could be resolved?

From the code you've given, it looks like Nest.js.
Probably you are using Express.js server adapter.
Make sure that you have express 5 installed (force it via resolution)

@felixmosh Thanks for the answer. Indeed I am using NestJS version 11 with Express v5 both explicit set on my package.json

"@nestjs/bullmq": "^11.0.2",
        "@nestjs/common": "^11.0.11",
        "@nestjs/config": "^4.0.1",
        "@nestjs/core": "^11.0.11",
        "@nestjs/jwt": "^11.0.0",
        "@nestjs/microservices": "^11.0.11",
        "@nestjs/mongoose": "^11.0.1",
        "@nestjs/passport": "^11.0.5",
        "@nestjs/platform-express": "^11.0.11",
        "@nestjs/swagger": "^11.0.6",
        "@nestjs/terminus": "^11.0.0",
        "@nestjs/throttler": "^6.4.0",
"express": "^5.0.1",

Make sure that bull-board is using express 5 as well (check node_modules || yarn why),

Adding this to my package.json

   "resolutions": {
        "@bull-board/express/express": "^5.0.1"
    },

actually worked :O

@felixmosh There is a 'conflict' and I need your opinion here.

1. Nx still uses 4.21.2 thats why default express version in my package json is 4.21.2
2. NestJS v11 internally uses v5
3. BullBoard seems to support both

For some reason If I keep express 4 even by adding this ```
"resolutions": {
"@bull-board/express/express": "4.21.2"
},

It won't work again, it worked only with express v5 installed 🤔 

[felixmosh]

This is because Nest.js uses v5 & bull-board which is plugs into it, uses 4...

[vkouk]

OK gotcha. So the conflict is between those to.

 "resolutions": {
        "@bull-board/express/express": "^5.0.1"
    },

i would use this until migrating to express v5 along with nx. Thanks a lot @felixmosh
