Current behavior

I’m tried to fetch bearer token but scripting return 400 error

Expected behavior

Fetch bearer token.

Minimal reproduction of the problem

const url = `https://some.service.inc/identity-server/connect/token`;
    
const headers = {
    'Content-Type': `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
};

const body = JSON.stringify({
    grant_type: 'client_credentials',
    client_id: 'clientId',
    client_secret: 'clientSecret',
    scope: 'squidex-api'
});

postJSON(url, body, (data) => {
    var b = 2
}, headers);

Which error do you get? Is there a concrete message?

[Nan]

[Sebastian]

I see it now. PostJSON expects a JSON request body and response body. There is no solution to make these kind of queries at the moment.

[Nan]

So to use getJson method to get some data I should manually update every month bearer token?

[Sebastian]

Unfortunately yes, perhaps I can migrate fetch to the scripting engine to give more flexibility.

[Nan]

It’s would be amazing, could you please do that?

[Sebastian]

I have added a simple workaround for now:

var url = 'http://squidex.io';

var body = { key: 42 };

postJSON(url, body, function(actual) {
    complete(actual);
}, {
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
})

When the header is set, the body is sent as url encoded string.

[Nan]

I tried the next one request to get bearer token so that failed

var url = 'https://dev-admin.squidexsite.com/identity-server/connect/token';

var body = { grant_type: 'client_credentials', client_id: '{client id}', client_secret: '{token}', scope: 'squidex-api'};

postJSON(url, body, function(actual) {
    complete(actual);
}, {
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
})

Could you please try request bearer token on your env?

[Sebastian]

Sorry, it was not merged nor deployed.

[Nan]

Np, I saw you merged changes, will you create new release?

[Sebastian]

Not immediately, but every commit goes to a few thousand unit tests, api tests and e2e tests. There is no release test or something like that anyway.

[Nan]

I pinned and try latest build from master.

Code:

const url = 'https://dev-admin.test.com/identity-server/connect/token';
    
const headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
};

const body = {
    grant_type: 'client_credentials',
    client_id: 'app-management:instruction-verifycation',
    client_secret: 'xbszwjqigp6qwtynkh5oy5tepdrakw4shyu7xojd4ekx',
    scope: 'squidex-api'};

postJSON(url, body, (data) => {
    throw `Duplicate reference detected: ${JSON.stringify(data)} cooking instruction with SKU already exist.`;
}, headers, true);

So the same error:
{"statusCode":400,"headers":{"Content-Length":"175","Content-Type":"application/json; charset=UTF-8","Expires":"Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT","Date":"Mon, 11 Nov 2024 14:09:20 GMT","Server":"Kestrel","Cache-Control":"no-store","Pragma":"no-cache"},"body":"{\n "error": "invalid_request",\n "error_description": "The specified 'Content-Type' header is invalid.",\n "error_uri": "[https://documentation.openiddict.com/errors/ID2082\"\n}"} ](https://documentation.openiddict.com/errors/ID2082/%22/n%7D%22%7D)

[Sebastian]

Looks correct. I will test it again and inform you later.

[Sebastian]

I have tested it again and it works fine for me. Are you sure, you have the latest version.

[Nan]

I used image with tag dev-8131

[Sebastian]

That’s the correct one. For me it works. Not sure how to reproduce it.

[Nan]

May we quick call I can show it to you?

Btw do you use ignoreError as true and check data from callback?

[Sebastian]

Yes, sure:

[Nan]

Could you please show me your script fully without editing
