How to debug chaincode? LedgerError - ResourceNotFound - blockchain

Question

I got this I believe pretty common error "..LedgerError - ResourceNotFound: ledger: resource not found" .
To make it simple, this is what I have:
Try simple chaincode, the given chaincode_example02.go codes
turned off security hence no CA (CORE_SECURITY_ENABLED=false CORE_SECURITY_PRIVACY=falss)
1 peer node only (using 0.5 version), it is a peer docker image
run in dev mode
This is how I deployed the code in dev mode, pls do verify if the cli is correct:
CORE_CHAINCODE_ID_NAME=mycc CORE_PEER_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:30303 ./chaincode_example02
and it shows
'Received REGISTERED, ready for invocations'
Now trying to query it, pls do verify if this cli is correct :
peer chaincode query -n mycc -c '{"Function": "query", "Args": ["b"]}'
but the error returned were :
Error: Error querying chaincode: rpc error: code = 2 desc = "Error:Failed to launch chaincode spec(Could not get deployment transaction for chaincode_example02 - LedgerError - ResourceNotFound: ledger: resource not found)"
Any idea? I checked all logs under /var but didn't find anything useful, also checked /var/hyperledger and did see some updates under /var/hyperledger/production/db.
This trial seems pretty straight forwards but surprise to get an error.
.. so how should I go about debugging this?

The following command,
CORE_CHAINCODE_ID_NAME=mycc CORE_PEER_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:30303 ./chaincode_example02
doesn't deploy the chaincode, it simply start and register the chaincode with the validating peer.
Once it is registered, you need todeploy and then invoke it before you can query.
As described here,
First, send a chaincode deploy transaction, only once, to the
validating peer. The CLI connects to the validating peer using the
properties defined in the core.yaml file. Note: The deploy transaction
typically requires a path parameter to locate, build, and deploy the
chaincode. However, because these instructions are specific to local
development mode and the chaincode is deployed manually, the name
parameter is used instead.
peer chaincode deploy -n mycc -c '{"Function":"init", "Args": ["a","100", "b", "200"]}'
Once it is deployed, you can invoke it as many times you want and then query the invoked transaction,
To invoke,
peer chaincode invoke -l golang -n mycc -c '{"Function": "invoke", "Args": ["a", "b", "10"]}'
and to query,
peer chaincode query -l golang -n mycc -c '{"Function": "query", "Args": ["b"]}'
Also make sure that you have peer running in one terminal, running the chaincode in 2nd terminal, while deploying, invoking and querying transactions from the third one.
