• The error [ABP-LIC-0020 - License code not found!] indicates that the application cannot read the AbpLicenseCode from your configuration at runtime, even if it is present in your appsettings.secrets.json.

To resolve this in Azure Container Apps, follow these steps:

1. Verify Environment Variable Injection
   Azure Container Apps may not automatically use appsettings.secrets.json. Instead, ensure the license code is injected as an environment variable:

   • Set an environment variable named AbpLicenseCode with your license value in the Azure Container App configuration.

2. Check File Mounting and Build Artifacts

   • Confirm that appsettings.secrets.json is present in the container at runtime. Sometimes, build or deployment steps may exclude this file.
   • You can exec into a running container and check the file's presence and content.

3. Configuration Precedence

   • Environment variables take precedence over configuration files. If both are set, the environment variable will be used.

4. Restart All Containers

   • After updating environment variables or configuration, restart all containers to ensure the new settings are loaded.

5. Check for Typographical Errors

   • Ensure the key is exactly AbpLicenseCode (case-sensitive).

6. Review Application Logs

   • Check for any configuration loading errors or warnings in the logs that might indicate why the license code is not being read.

Example: Setting Environment Variable in Azure Portal

• Go to your Azure Container App > Settings > Environment variables.
• Add:

Name: AbpLicenseCode Value:

- Save and restart the container.

This approach is recommended and resolves most license code loading issues in containerized ABP deployments.

1. Tenant Signup and Edition Subscription Flow

The default ABP SaaS + Payment integration expects that a tenant already exists and is authenticated before subscribing to an edition. The code:

var paymentRequest = await SubscriptionAppService.CreateSubscriptionAsync(editionId, CurrentTenant.GetId());

assumes CurrentTenant.GetId() is available, meaning the user is already associated with a tenant.

If you want users to sign up and select an edition in a single flow (i.e., create a tenant and subscribe to an edition at the same time), you need to:

• Present a registration form that collects both tenant info and edition selection.
• First, create the tenant programmatically using the SaaS module's tenant creation APIs.
• After the tenant is created, immediately call CreateSubscriptionAsync with the new tenant's ID and the selected edition.
• Redirect the user to the payment gateway as usual.

This approach is not provided out-of-the-box, but it is a common customization. You will need to orchestrate tenant creation and subscription in your own controller or service.

2. Disabling Host (Non-Tenant) Access

By default, the "host" user is the super admin who manages tenants, editions, and other global settings. If you do not want to expose any host-level functionality to end users:

• Restrict or remove host-specific UI/menu items.
• Ensure all controllers/pages require authentication and a tenant context.
• You can enforce tenant context by checking CurrentTenant.Id and redirecting to login/registration if not present.
• Optionally, you can override the default route to redirect unauthenticated or host users to the login or registration page.

This way, only tenant users (not host) can access the application, and all users must be logged in.

• The ABP Module Entity Extension system supports adding extra properties to existing entities, including lookups using the UI.Lookup option. However, as of v9.2.1, it does not natively support multi-select lookups or many-to-many relationships via the extension mechanism. The UI.Lookup feature is designed for single-value selection (e.g., a single Guid or string), not for multiple selections or storing comma-separated values.

• For a many-to-many relationship (e.g., File <-> Tag), ABP recommends modeling this directly in your domain and database using EF Core's standard many-to-many relationship features. This is not directly supported by the module extension system, but you can implement it by creating a join entity (e.g., FileTag) and managing the relationship in your own code and UI.

• If you want to store a multi-select as a comma-separated string using module extensions, this is not supported out-of-the-box. The extension system does not provide a built-in multi-select UI or automatic serialization/deserialization of multiple values into a single string property.

Guidance:

1. Recommended (Many-to-Many):

   • Define a join entity (e.g., FileTag) between your File entity and Tag entity.
   • Use EF Core's many-to-many relationship mapping.
   • Build the UI for multi-select using standard MVC techniques.
   • This approach is robust and aligns with best practices for relational data.

2. Workaround (Comma-Separated String):

   • You can add a string property via module extension to store tag names as a comma-separated string.
   • However, you must implement the multi-select UI and handle serialization/deserialization manually in your application code.
   • The module extension system will not provide a multi-select UI or manage the string format for you.

Summary:

• The current module extension mechanism does not support multi-select lookups or many-to-many relationships natively.
• For many-to-many, use EF Core relationships and custom UI.
• For comma-separated values, use a string property and handle the UI/logic yourself.

This is a known issue in ABP Suite/Blazor Server projects when adding a "File" property to an entity, especially in modular or tiered solutions. The generated .razor.js file (e.g., Products.razor.js) is created in the module's Blazor project, but during development, it is not served correctly, resulting in 404 errors and the Blazor UI freezing or failing to load the file input.

This problem has been reproduced and acknowledged by the ABP team. The root cause is that static web assets from module projects are not always correctly discovered and served in development mode, especially for dynamically imported JS files generated by Suite for file properties.

Current Status:

• The ABP team has fixed this issue, and the fix will be included in an upcoming patch release.
• No manual workaround is required; after updating to the fixed version, the problem will be resolved.

Reference:

• Official support thread: https://abp.io/support/questions/7478

What to do now:

• Wait for the next patch release of ABP Suite/Framework and update your solution when it becomes available.
• If you need a temporary workaround, you can manually copy the generated .razor.js file to the main Blazor project's wwwroot or ensure it is included as a static asset, but this is only a stopgap until the official fix is released.

To fix the "Expected depth to be zero at the end of the JSON payload" error when returning a DataSourceResult (such as from Telerik) in an ABP HTTP API, you need to ensure that the returned object is properly serialized and compatible with System.Text.Json (the default serializer in ABP). Telerik's DataSourceResult may contain complex or non-serializable types, or may be serialized in a way that System.Text.Json cannot handle by default.

Here are the recommended steps to resolve this issue:

1. Avoid Returning Complex Types Directly
   Instead of returning DataSourceResult directly from your API method, map its data to a DTO or a simpler object that is easily serializable.

2. Use Newtonsoft.Json if Required
   If you must return DataSourceResult, configure your API to use Newtonsoft.Json instead of System.Text.Json, as Newtonsoft has better compatibility with complex types like DataSourceResult.

   In your *.HttpApi.Host project, update your Startup.cs or module configuration:

context.Services.AddControllers() .AddNewtonsoftJson(options => { options.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore; // Add other settings as needed });

   And in your module:

   ```csharp
Configure<AbpAspNetCoreMvcOptions>(options =>
   {
       options.JsonSerializerIsSystemTextJson = false;
   });

3. Check for Open/Unclosed JSON Objects
   Ensure that your action method is not returning an object with open references or circular dependencies. If you use navigation properties, project only the required fields into DTOs.

4. Validate the Output
   Before returning, serialize your result to JSON in a test to ensure it is valid and closed.

5. Example: Map DataSourceResult to DTO

public class TripGridResultDto { public IEnumerable

public async Task

   This ensures the returned object is simple and serializable.

**Summary:**  
- Prefer returning DTOs or simple objects.
- Switch to Newtonsoft.Json if you must return complex types.
- Avoid circular references and ensure all objects are serializable.

• In ABP microservice or separated AuthServer scenarios, the [Authorize] attribute with a permission name (e.g., [Authorize("Permission.View")]) depends on correct claim propagation and permission definition registration across all relevant modules.

• If _permissionChecker.IsGrantedAsync("Permission.View") returns true but [Authorize("Permission.View")] returns 403, the most common causes are:

  1. The permission is not defined or registered in the API module (the PermissionDefinitionProvider is missing or not referenced).
  2. Claims mapping or claim type configuration is inconsistent between AuthServer and the API module.
  3. The AbpClaimTypes are being updated by IdentityServer integration, which can break permission checks in microservices.

• In microservice solutions, you must ensure:

  • The PermissionDefinitionProvider for "Permission.View" is referenced in the API module (typically via Application.Contracts).
  • The API module does not override or change claim types unexpectedly. If using IdentityServer, you may need to disable claim type updates in the API module:

public override void PreConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
    {
        context.Services.PreConfigure<AbpIdentityServerBuilderOptions>(options =>
        {
            options.UpdateAbpClaimTypes = false;
        });
    }

• Also, verify that the API module references the correct Application.Contracts and PermissionDefinitionProvider, and that the permission is visible in the Permission Management UI for the API service.

• If the permission is only defined in the AuthServer, the API module will not recognize it for [Authorize] checks.

• The alert you received from Windows Defender (Trojan:Win32/Yomal!rfn) when running ABP Studio or ABP Suite is most likely a false positive. ABP Studio and ABP Suite are official tools distributed by the ABP team, and there are no known reports of malicious code or hijacked dependencies in the official releases.

• False positives can occur when antivirus software incorrectly flags legitimate software, especially developer tools that perform code generation or automation. This is a common issue with .NET tools and other CLI utilities.

• To ensure safety:

  1. Download ABP Studio and ABP Suite only from the official website: https://abp.io/studio
  2. Verify the installer hash if available on the download page.
  3. Make sure your antivirus definitions are up to date, and consider submitting the quarantined file to Microsoft for further analysis if you want confirmation.

• If you are in a corporate environment, you may need to whitelist the ABP Suite executable or folder in your antivirus settings after verifying its source.

To achieve dynamic, efficient extension of your Customers module with extra information from other modules (like Appointments and Finances) in ABP, while maintaining modular boundaries and performance, you should consider the following best practices:

1. Modular Data Isolation & Integration:

   • Each module (Customers, Appointments, Finances) should own its own data and DbContext.
   • Direct joins across DbContexts are not supported by EF Core and are discouraged in modular architectures for decoupling reasons.
   • Instead, use integration services or events to communicate between modules.

2. Extending the Customer List with Extra Info:

   • The recommended approach is to use a ViewModel composition pattern at the application or UI layer, not at the entity or DbContext level.
   • Each module can provide a service that contributes extra data for a given set of customer IDs.
   • The Customers module exposes an extension point (e.g., an interface like ICustomerExtraInfoProvider).
   • Appointments and Finances modules implement this interface and register their providers conditionally.

3. Efficient Data Fetching:

   • When building the customer list, first fetch the customers in a single query.
   • Then, for each registered ICustomerExtraInfoProvider, call a batch method (e.g., GetExtraInfoForCustomersAsync(IEnumerable<Guid> customerIds)) to fetch all needed extra info in one query per module.
   • Compose the final DTO (e.g., CustomerWithExtraInfoDto) by merging the base customer data with the extra info from each provider.

4. DTO Design:

   • Use a dictionary or a well-defined extension object in your DTO to hold extra info, e.g.:

public class CustomerWithExtraInfoDto : CustomerDto
     {
         public Dictionary<string, object> ExtraInfo { get; set; }
     }

• Each provider can add its data under a unique key (e.g., "NextAppointmentDate", "LastPaymentDate").

5. Conditional UI Display:

   • The UI can check for the presence of specific keys in ExtraInfo to decide what to display.
   • This keeps the Customers module agnostic of the specifics of other modules.

6. Filtering and Advanced Logic:

   • If extra info providers need to filter the customer list, you can allow them to return a filtered set of customer IDs, and intersect these with the base list.
   • For more complex scenarios, consider a two-phase approach: providers can first filter, then contribute extra info.

7. ABP Guidance:

   • ABP recommends using integration services and view model composition for such cross-module data needs, especially in modular and microservice architectures.
   • See the following for more details and patterns:
     • How to Use Multiple DbContexts in a Single Query Execution
     • Integrating the Modules: Joining the Products and Orders Data
     • ABP Support Q&A: ViewModel Composition

This approach keeps your modules decoupled, supports dynamic discovery of extra info providers, and ensures efficient data access.

To use EF Core's UseLazyLoadingProxies in an ABP application, all navigation properties (including collections) in your entities must be marked as virtual. However, some ABP modules (such as GDPR) may define their entities without marking navigation properties as virtual. This causes the error you encountered:

System.InvalidOperationException: Property 'GdprRequest.Infos' is not virtual. 'UseChangeTrackingProxies' requires all entity types to be public, unsealed, have virtual properties, and have a public or protected constructor. 'UseLazyLoadingProxies' requires only the navigation properties be virtual.

Key Points

• EF Core's lazy loading proxies require all navigation properties (including collections) to be virtual.
• If a module's entity (like GdprRequest.Infos in the GDPR module) does not declare its navigation property as virtual, you cannot use UseLazyLoadingProxies unless you modify the source code of that module.
• You cannot override or extend the navigation property to make it virtual from outside the module, due to C#'s type system and the way EF Core proxies work.

Workarounds

1. Do Not Use Lazy Loading Proxies:
   If you depend on ABP modules that do not mark navigation properties as virtual, you cannot use EF Core's lazy loading proxies unless those modules are updated. Instead, use explicit or eager loading (Include, ThenInclude, or ABP's WithDetails).

2. Request Module Update:
   You can request the maintainers of the ABP modules (such as GDPR) to update their entities to make navigation properties virtual. This is the only way to enable lazy loading proxies for those entities.

3. Fork and Patch (Not Recommended for Commercial Modules):
   If you have access to the module's source code, you could fork and update the navigation properties to be virtual. However, this is not recommended for commercial modules or if you want to keep receiving updates.

Example: Eager Loading Instead

Instead of relying on lazy loading, use eager loading:

var gdprRequest = await _gdprRequestRepository
    .WithDetails(x => x.Infos)
    .FirstOrDefaultAsync(x => x.Id == id);

Or with EF Core's Include:

var gdprRequest = await dbContext.GdprRequests
    .Include(x => x.Infos)
    .FirstOrDefaultAsync(x => x.Id == id);

Summary

You cannot use UseLazyLoadingProxies with ABP modules that do not declare navigation properties as virtual. Use eager or explicit loading as an alternative, or request the module authors to update their code.

When you encounter a large number of AbpDbConcurrencyException errors during simultaneous user login or registration, it typically indicates that multiple processes are trying to update the same database record at the same time. In ABP Framework, this is managed using Optimistic Concurrency Control, which relies on a concurrency token (like ConcurrencyStamp) to detect conflicting updates.

Why This Happens

• The OpenIddict token endpoint (/connect/token) updates token or user records as part of the authentication flow.
• If many users log in or register at the same time, concurrent updates to the same user or token records can cause concurrency conflicts.
• ABP and EF Core throw AbpDbConcurrencyException (wrapping DbUpdateConcurrencyException) when the concurrency token in the database does not match the one in the entity being updated.

How to Mitigate

1. Understand the Concurrency Model
   ABP uses Optimistic Concurrency Control. When an update occurs, the ConcurrencyStamp is checked. If it has changed since the entity was loaded, a concurrency exception is thrown.
   See:

   • Concurrency Check in ABP
   • Community Example: Handle Concurrency with EF Core in ABP

2. Reduce Simultaneous Updates

   • Avoid updating the same user or token record in multiple parallel requests.
   • For login/registration, ensure that your client does not retry or send multiple requests for the same user at the same time.

3. Handle Concurrency Exceptions Gracefully

   • Catch AbpDbConcurrencyException in your application layer and provide a user-friendly message or retry logic if appropriate.
   • For background or batch operations, consider implementing a retry policy with a backoff.

4. Database and Index Tuning

   • Ensure your database is not under heavy lock contention.
   • Make sure indexes are properly set up for the tables involved in authentication and token management.

5. Review Customizations

   • If you have custom logic in user or token update flows, ensure you are not causing unnecessary updates or holding entities longer than needed.

6. Upgrade Considerations

   • While you mentioned not planning to upgrade to v9 yet, note that newer versions may include improvements or bug fixes related to concurrency handling.

Example: Handling Concurrency in ABP

try
{
    // Your update logic here
}
catch (AbpDbConcurrencyException ex)
{
    // Handle the concurrency conflict, e.g., reload entity and retry or inform the user
}

Additional Notes

• This is not related to notification services or HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification directly; it's a result of how EF Core and ABP handle concurrent updates.
• If you have a high-traffic authentication system, consider scaling out your authentication server and reviewing your token/user update logic.
