:tempids is just a map. Resolve-tempid is a convenience to construct numeric tempids (the negative numbers) from the tempid records created by d/tempid. You can use d/part, d/tx->t, d/ident and some bit twiddling to get an equivalent tempid record from a negative long

You can use d/entid-at and d/entid to make the negative long from the tempid record yourself

Thanks @U09R86PA4. I will give this a try.

Are you sure you are transacting (transact conn [{:db/id ...}]) not (transact conn {:db/id ...})?

yes i am sure. I am providing a vector of maps. I've copied and pasted from the site to make sure it wasnt me. I am not using the mem storage protocol and have moved to the local dev setup and am trying to run through some of the examples again. Im not sure if that has something to do with it

paste the expression you are running

also, verify what version of datomic you are using

(being able to transact schema entities without :db/id is a more recent ability)

datomic-pro-0.9.565

@(d/transact conn [{:db/ident :movie/title
:db/valueType :db.type/string
:db/cardinality :db.cardinality/one
:db/doc "The title of the movie"}])

and this throws the error?

does it throw it when you use a mem db?

I didnt have any problems with mem

is your transactor definitely the same up-to-date version?

I suppose but I dont know for sure. I downloaded the zip and I am running everything from the ./datomic-extracted/bin directory

i just tried from the bin/repl on 0.9.5656

@U05120CBV I tried that and I still get the ":db.error/entity-missing-db-id Missing :db/id" error. Maybe I'm not running the transactor and peer server correctly?

bin/run -m datomic.peer-server -h localhost -p 8998 -a myaccesskey,mysecret -d test,datomic:

bin/transactor ./dev-transactor-template.properties

the only thing i added to the template is the license

wait I thought you were using the "peer getting started" guide?

why are you running a datomic peer server?

peer server is for the client api

@U09R86PA4 is correct. no peer server required for using the peer itself

have you started your transactor?

http://docs.datomic.com/dev-setup.html#run-dev-transactor

@U05120CBV i have started the transactor. even the basic

@(d/transact conn [{:db/doc "Hello world"}])

IllegalArgumentExceptionInfo :db.error/entity-missing-db-id Missing :db/id  datomic.error/arg (error.clj:57)

what version of datomic ?

datomic-pro-0.9.5656

can you send me your log file? it’s in the log directory under the datomic distro

<mailto:[email protected]|[email protected]>

sent the email

are you running the peer from a repl started with bin/repl in the same dir?

and can I see your ‘require’ line in the repl please

this is in my project outside of the directory not using the bin/repl

(require '[datomic.api :as d])

it's pretty clear im missing something fundamental so i'm going to start over. I have an application written in clojure with a postgres db. I wanted to learn datomic so I thought it would be cool to replace postgres with datomic in this simple app. So a new question (starting from scratch): I want to have a local datomic database (strictly development) on my machine to read and write from within my clojure code. Is there a link or tutorial that would help me achieve this? What components of datomic would I need to run? And what would I use to make queries and transactions to datomic from clojure?

in your project what version of the datomic peer library are you using

i.e. in your project.clj or your pom.xml or whatever you’re using

you’re using the right tutorial/etc. i now strongly suspect you’ve got an old version of the peer library in your project
