error: "The 'AppId' option must be provided. (Parameter 'AppId')"

[GustinAG]

Hi Guys,

we have the above problem, - however we try cannot get rid of it so far.
We even tried this → https://www.nopcommerce.com/en/boards/topic/88830/api-plugin-error - but didn't help unfortunately.

Is this a known issue - with a known workaround maybe ?

This seems to be related to Facebook authentication plugin. Also, this repo did not exist 5 months ago. What version of api plugin did you install?

[GustinAG]

Thx a lot for replying so quickly!

Also, this repo did not exist 5 months ago.

I know, - and I'm really glad that it does now :)
And I agree of course it seems to be an inherited issue from the original repo.

What version of api plugin did you install?

We installed the current one - including your last commit 3 days ago.

And sorry for not mentioning it earlier: we run the whole thing in Docker / Swarm.
(Locally, in Docker, - whereas in the Test environment, in Docker Swarm, - result is on both the same.)

[stepanbenes]

I cannot reproduce the error. Does the nopCommerce web works without an issue? Does it work when debugging locally without docker? Did you try to uninstall facebook plugin?

[GustinAG]

Does the nopCommerce web works without an issue?

As far as we concerned: yes.
Admin GUI for plugins doesn't, - you have to include desired plugins in Dockerfile, - however, that's by design so in Docker environment AFAIK.

Does it work when debugging locally without docker?

That part works in my colleague F1's local dev environment.
(At me the whole WIndows Docker Desktop collapsed after trying to debug - but that's another issue.)

Did you try to uninstall facebook plugin?

Yes, we tried. That didn't help.

I cannot reproduce the error.

Here's the Dockerfile we're using - eventually, that might help at reproducing....
BTW that's nop's officially recommended Dockerfile - including our additions (like API plugin) and excluding FB Auth - also, as officially recommended.

I have managed to reproduce the problem. I have used similar Dockerfile with all plugins including api plugin and facebook authentication plugin and received the same error when trying to access the api. I fixed that by filling the AppId and AppSecret values of facebook plugin with some random strings. After this "fix" the api should work.

However, the swagger page was not accessible in release builds. I have commited an update to show swagger UI in Development environment. (set ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT environment variable to Development).

[stepanbenes]

Closing as workaround has been provided.

[HendrikKoelbel]

Will there be an update for this workaround in the future?

[vyas-hardik]

I was getting the same error message. Then I added AppId and AppSecret in FacebookAuthenticationRegistrar.cs

Then that error was resolved but still not getting swagger page. Instead when I hit /api it is redirecting me to https://localhost:44369/page-not-found
