nest g service modules/my-module

# Follow backend guidelines
# See: specs/03-implementation/backend-guidelines.md
```

```

### View Logs

```bash
# All services
docker-compose logs -f

# Specific service
docker logs lcbp3-backend -f --tail=100

# Search logs
docker logs lcbp3-backend 2>&1 | grep "ERROR"
```

### Database Access

```bash
# MySQL CLI
docker exec -it lcbp3-mariadb mysql -u root -p

# Run SQL file (Linux/Mac)
docker exec -i lcbp3-mariadb mysql -u root -p lcbp3_dms < script.sql

# Run SQL file (Windows PowerShell)
Get-Content script.sql | docker exec -i lcbp3-mariadb mysql -u root -p lcbp3_dms

# Run SQL file (Windows CMD)
type script.sql | docker exec -i lcbp3-mariadb mysql -u root -p lcbp3_dms
```

### Redis Access

```bash
# Redis CLI
docker exec -it lcbp3-redis redis-cli -a <password>

# Check keys
docker exec lcbp3-redis redis-cli -a <password> KEYS "*"

# Clear cache
docker exec lcbp3-redis redis-cli -a <password> FLUSHDB
```

---

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Backend not starting

```bash
# Check logs
docker logs lcbp3-backend

# Common issues:
# 1. Database connection - check DB_HOST in .env
# 2. Redis connection - check REDIS_HOST in .env
# 3. Port conflict - check if port 3000 is free
```

### Database connection failed

```bash
# Check if MariaDB is running
docker ps | grep mariadb

# Test connection
docker exec lcbp3-mariadb mysqladmin ping -h localhost

# Check credentials
docker exec lcbp3-backend env | grep DB_
```

### Frontend build failed

```bash
# Clear cache and rebuild
docker exec lcbp3-frontend rm -rf .next node_modules
docker exec lcbp3-frontend npm install
docker exec lcbp3-frontend npm run build
```

### Port already in use

```bash
# Linux/Mac: Find process using port
lsof -i :3000

# Windows: Find process using port
netstat -ano | findstr :3000

# Linux/Mac: Kill process
kill -9 <PID>

# Windows: Kill process
taskkill /PID <PID> /F

# Or change port in docker-compose.yml
```

---

## ⚠️ Common Pitfalls

### 1. **Environment Variables Not Loaded**

**Problem:** Backend fails to start with "config is not defined" or similar errors.

**Solution:**
```bash
# Ensure .env file exists
ls backend/.env  # Linux/Mac
dir backend\.env  # Windows

# Check if Docker container has access to .env
docker exec lcbp3-backend env | grep DB_

# Restart containers after .env changes
docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d
```

### 2. **Database Migration Issues**

**Problem:** Tables not found or schema mismatch.

**Solution:**
```bash
# Check migration status
docker exec lcbp3-backend npm run migration:show

# Run pending migrations
docker exec lcbp3-backend npm run migration:run

# If migration fails, check logs
docker logs lcbp3-backend --tail=50

# Rollback and retry if needed
docker exec lcbp3-backend npm run migration:revert
```

### 3. **Redis Connection Timeout**

**Problem:** Queue jobs not processing or "ECONNREFUSED" errors.

**Solution:**
```bash
# Check if Redis is running
docker ps | grep redis

# Test Redis connection
docker exec lcbp3-redis redis-cli ping

# Check Redis logs
docker logs lcbp3-redis

# Verify REDIS_HOST in .env matches docker-compose service name
```

### 4. **CORS Errors in Frontend**

**Problem:** Browser blocks API requests with CORS policy errors.

**Solution:**
```bash
# Check CORS_ORIGIN in backend/.env
# Should match frontend URL (e.g., http://localhost:3001)

# For development, can use:
CORS_ORIGIN=http://localhost:3001,http://localhost:3000

# Restart backend after changes
docker-compose restart backend
```

### 5. **File Upload Fails**

**Problem:** File uploads return 413 (Payload Too Large) or timeout.

**Solution:**
```bash
# Check MAX_FILE_SIZE in .env (default 50MB)
MAX_FILE_SIZE=52428800

# Check NGINX upload limits if using reverse proxy
# client_max_body_size should be set appropriately

# Check disk space
docker exec lcbp3-backend df -h  # Linux/Mac
```

### 6. **Docker Build Fails on Windows**

**Problem:** Line ending issues (CRLF vs LF) cause build failures.

**Solution:**
```bash
# Configure Git to use LF line endings
git config --global core.autocrlf input

# Re-clone or convert existing files
git add --renormalize .
git commit -m "Normalize line endings"

# Or use .gitattributes file (already should be in repo)
```

### 7. **Permission Denied in Containers**

**Problem:** Cannot write files or execute commands inside containers.

**Solution:**
```bash
# Windows: Ensure Docker Desktop has access to the drive
# Settings → Resources → File Sharing

# Linux: Fix volume permissions
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER .

# Check container user
docker exec lcbp3-backend whoami
```

### 8. **Hot Reload Not Working**

**Problem:** Code changes don't reflect immediately during development.

**Solution:**
```bash
# Ensure volumes are mounted correctly in docker-compose.yml
# Check for:
volumes:
  - ./backend/src:/app/src

# Windows: May need to enable polling in NestJS
# Add to nest-cli.json:
"watchAssets": true,
"watchOptions": {
  "poll": 1000
}

# Restart dev server
docker-compose restart backend
```

### 9. **TypeScript Compilation Errors**

**Problem:** "Cannot find module" or type errors.

**Solution:**
```bash
# Clear build cache
docker exec lcbp3-backend rm -rf dist

# Reinstall dependencies
docker exec lcbp3-backend rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
docker exec lcbp3-backend npm install

# Check TypeScript version matches
docker exec lcbp3-backend npm list typescript
```

### 10. **Document Numbering Duplicates**

**Problem:** Race condition causes duplicate document numbers.

**Solution:**
```bash
# Ensure Redis is running (required for distributed locks)
docker ps | grep redis

# Check Redis connection in logs
docker logs lcbp3-backend | grep -i redis

# Verify ENABLE_REDIS_LOCK=true in .env

# Check database constraints are in place
docker exec -i lcbp3-mariadb mysql -u root -p lcbp3_dms -e "
SHOW CREATE TABLE document_number_counters;
"
```
