thanks for the report !

If possible can you please provide your fn tool version, and if its not latest (0.2.72) can you please try updating it ?

[sss0350]

Looks like the same issue I ask before , check it out:
#665

[JosephShering]

It's similar sure, but I tried to change the API_URL with no avail. I get a parse error for 127.0.0.1:8082

[c0ze]

@JosephShering

can you try API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8082 fn
(yeah http protocol prefix is necessary.)

Also, have you checked your version ? fn version ?

@raky35 can you please provide little bit more information ? Your system, fn tool version, your application context etc ? (which command you run when you get the message etc ? what are API_URL env variables if passed ?)

As a side note, ethereum source is not referenced anywhere in the IF code base. I think your problem is not related to iron functions.

This is an old issue, but I found it googling for a solution to a panic crash while running 'fn apps create myapp' as well. I had the container running on a different port and specifying a correct API_URL fixed the problem.
Just hoping to help the next person who comes along :)
