When I run DbMigrator locally, I am receiving an exception:
I have never encountered this before. I suspect something is misconfigured or a reference is missing, but I have no idea what it might be.
I am going to email my project files over in case you need to take a look.
Thanks
I am trying to override the Account template based on this documentation here: https://dev.to/enisn/you-do-it-wrong-customizing-abp-login-page-correctly-l2k, and when I get to the part where I need to download the Account template so I can override it, I am not able to download it:
I have updated ABP CLI, I have updated ABP Studio, I have logged out and logged back in in the CLI, nothing seems to work. It keeps throwing an error, and the error message doesn't print out any useful information that helps me troubleshoot what is going on.
Additionally, I read somewhere that I can grab source files from ABP Suite, but ABP Suite isn't working for me at all. I go to add my solution, and it throws this:
I would ideally like to get this fixed so I can download files via CLI, but worst case scenario I would be ok if you just zipped it up and sent it to my email on file.
Thanks,
Charlie
Hi, I am attempting to setup self-service registration and subscription for customers. I am having an issue where when I try to go to the payment screen, it throws an error saying "Invalid URL", and when I go to Stripe, it shows a relative URL that I cannot seem to adjust.
For context, here is my register page model OnPostAsync:
public async Task<IActionResult> OnPostAsync()
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
await OnGetAsync(); // reload editions
return Page();
}
// Confirm we are NOT in tenant context
if (_currentTenant.Id != null)
{
throw new Exception("Cannot register a tenant while already in a tenant context.");
//return Forbid(); // Registration should only be done as host
}
StartSubscriptionResultDto resultDto = await _multiTenancyAppService.RegisterAndSubscribeAsync(new SaasTenantCreateDto
{
Name = Input.TenantName,
AdminEmailAddress = Input.Email,
AdminPassword = Input.Password,
EditionId = Input.EditionId,
ActivationState = Volo.Saas.TenantActivationState.Passive
});
return LocalRedirectPreserveMethod("/Payment/GatewaySelection?paymentRequestId=" + resultDto.PaymentRequestId);
}
And here is my RegisterAndSubscribeAsync method:
public async Task<StartSubscriptionResultDto> RegisterAndSubscribeAsync(SaasTenantCreateDto input)
{
if (input.EditionId == null || input.EditionId == Guid.Empty)
{
throw new UserFriendlyException("Please select a valid edition.");
}
// 1) Create tenant via domain layer (no host permission needed)
var tenant = await _tenantManager.CreateAsync(input.Name, editionId: input.EditionId);
tenant.SetActivationState(input.ActivationState); // keep passive until payment succeeds
await _tenantRepository.InsertAsync(tenant, autoSave: true);
// 2) Publish TenantCreatedEto to seed admin user (same as TenantAppService does)
await _eventBus.PublishAsync(new TenantCreatedEto
{
Id = tenant.Id,
Name = tenant.Name,
Properties =
{
{"AdminEmail", input.AdminEmailAddress},
{"AdminPassword", input.AdminPassword}
}
});
// 3) Start subscription (creates PaymentRequest with TenantId/EditionId extra props)
PaymentRequestWithDetailsDto paymentRequest = await _subscriptionAppService.CreateSubscriptionAsync(input.EditionId ?? Guid.Empty, tenant.Id);
return new StartSubscriptionResultDto
{
TenantId = tenant.Id,
PaymentRequestId = paymentRequest.Id,
};
}
I have tried to set the callbackurl, prepaymenturl, and postpaymenturl in appsettings, but that doesn't seem to do anything (stripe keys redacted for security):
"PaymentWebOptions": {
"RootUrl": "https://armadasoftware.io",
"CallBackUrl": "https://armadasoftware.io/Payment/Stripe/PostPayment",
"PaymentGatewayWebConfigurationDictionary": {
"Stripe": {
"PrePaymentUrl": "https://armadasoftware.io/Payment/Stripe/PrePayment",
"PostPaymentUrl": "https://armadasoftware.io/Payment/Stripe/PostPayment"
}
}
},
"Payment": {
"Stripe": {
"PublishableKey": "",
"SecretKey": "",
"WebhookSecret": ""
}
},
When I get this error, I go to Stripe Webhook logs, and I find this:
So it is saying the URL is invalid, and the success URL is a relative URL, which seems problematic, but I cannot seem to find a configuration or anything in the documentation that allows me to set a success URL such that it overrides this. I tried setting the success url in the stripe section of appsettings, but that didn't work either. Please advise me on how to set this so it overrides whatever default URL is being sent to Stripe here.
I have been working off of this documentation: https://abp.io/docs/latest/solution-templates/layered-web-application/deployment/azure-deployment/step3-deployment-github-action?UI=MVC&DB=EF&Tiered=No, and it does work to deploy to Azure, but if I have the line there to generate openiddict.pfx, it always fails, and it doesn't throw any error message that helps me understand what is going on.
For reference, here is my workflow (I also have never been able to make the DbMigrator work, and I may have to open a new ticket for that too if I can't get it to work):

So I feel stuck here. I did find this blog post: https://codejack.com/2022/12/deploying-abp-io-to-an-azure-appservice/, and I used it for testing, but that didn't work for me either. Here is my WebModule with the default code, as well as the commented code that I was using to test based on the blog post above:

});

I was able to get this working one time in the past, but I can't seem to recreate it unfortunately. I did create an openiddict.pfx using the command in the terminal, then I uploaded it to my Azure certificates. That doesn't seem to work either. Perhaps I need to upload openiddict.pfx directly into the project root in Azure? I am not very knowledgeable about this, so I'm not sure what is safe or what could cause security issues.
Any advice here would be appreciated. Thanks.
I have an open ticket for this (#9614), but I haven't received help so I am opening another to see if I can get help here and maybe get refunded for that ticket.
I created a custom registration page, which I am planning on using to allow customers to sign up themselves, creating a tenant and signing up for an edition at the same time.
Here is my page model for my registration page that will handle creating the tenant and subscribing the edition to that tenant:
[AllowAnonymous]
public class RegisterModel : ArmadaPageModel
{
private readonly ITenantAppService _tenantAppService;
private readonly IMultiTenancyAppService _multiTenancyAppService;
private readonly IEditionAppService _editionAppService;
private readonly ISubscriptionAppService _subscriptionAppService;
private readonly ICurrentTenant _currentTenant;
public RegisterModel(
ITenantAppService tenantAppService,
IMultiTenancyAppService multiTenancyAppService,
IEditionAppService editionAppService,
ISubscriptionAppService subscriptionAppService,
ICurrentTenant currentTenant)
{
_tenantAppService = tenantAppService;
_multiTenancyAppService = multiTenancyAppService;
_editionAppService = editionAppService;
_subscriptionAppService = subscriptionAppService;
_currentTenant = currentTenant;
}
[BindProperty]
public RegisterTenantViewModel Input { get; set; } = new();
public async Task OnGetAsync()
{
List<EditionDto> editions = await _multiTenancyAppService.GetEditionsAsync();
List<SelectListItem> editionSelectItems = editions.Select(e => new SelectListItem
{
Text = e.DisplayName,
Value = e.Id.ToString()
}).ToList();
Input.AvailableEditions = editionSelectItems;
}
public async Task<IActionResult> OnPostAsync()
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
await OnGetAsync(); // reload editions
return Page();
}
// Confirm we are NOT in tenant context
if (_currentTenant.Id != null)
{
throw new Exception("Cannot register a tenant while already in a tenant context.");
//return Forbid(); // Registration should only be done as host
}
//var tenantDto = await _tenantAppService.CreateAsync(new SaasTenantCreateDto
//{
// Name = Input.TenantName,
// AdminEmailAddress = Input.Email,
// AdminPassword = Input.Password,
// EditionId = Input.EditionId
//});
var tenantDto = await _multiTenancyAppService.CreateTenantAsync(new SaasTenantCreateDto
{
Name = Input.TenantName,
AdminEmailAddress = Input.Email,
AdminPassword = Input.Password,
EditionId = Input.EditionId
});
// 2. Manually switch to new tenant context
using (_currentTenant.Change(tenantDto.Id))
{
// 3. Create subscription with edition ID
var subscription = await _subscriptionAppService.CreateSubscriptionAsync(
Input.EditionId,
tenantDto.Id
);
// 4. Redirect to Stripe or confirmation
//return Redirect(subscription.PaymentUrl);
}
return Page();
}
}
I also created an appservice called MultiTenancyAppService which helps me populate the editions dropdown, as well as attempt to create a tenant (since calling tenantAppService.CreateAsync() was throwing an authorization error):
[AllowAnonymous]
public class MultiTenancyAppService : ArmadaIOAppService, IMultiTenancyAppService
{
private readonly IRepository<Edition, Guid> _editionRepository;
private readonly ITenantAppService _tenantAppService;
private readonly IRepository<Tenant, Guid> _tenantRepository;
public MultiTenancyAppService(IRepository<Edition, Guid> editionRepository, ITenantAppService tenantAppService, IRepository<Tenant, Guid> tenantRepository)
{
_editionRepository = editionRepository;
_tenantAppService = tenantAppService;
_tenantRepository = tenantRepository;
}
public async Task<List<EditionDto>> GetEditionsAsync()
{
List<Edition> editions = await _editionRepository.GetListAsync();
List<EditionDto> dtos = ObjectMapper.Map<List<Edition>, List<EditionDto>>(editions);
return dtos;
}
public async Task<SaasTenantDto> CreateTenantAsync(SaasTenantCreateDto input)
{
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(input.Name) || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(input.AdminEmailAddress) || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(input.AdminPassword))
{
throw new UserFriendlyException("Please fill all required fields before submission");
}
return await _tenantAppService.CreateAsync(input);
}
}
It is still throwing a "Exception of type 'Volo.Abp.Authorization.AbpAuthorizationException' was thrown" error on the "await _tenantAppService.CreateAsync(input);" line when trying to create a tenant, even though I have the [AllowAnonymous] decorator on the page model and the app service. I am under the assumption that by default, a register page is creating a tenant when in host mode, since a tenant isn't logged in, so this seems like unintuitive functionality. I'm assuming part of this is because the page itself is accessible to non-tenant users, but that is necessary figuring the only people registering will be those who are not yet tenants.
Please advise me on a potential solution to this.

I am hoping to get a little knowledge to piece together some of these modules into a cohesive unit. I have all of the modules installed, and I followed the documentation to add a Stripe webhook, product and price, and I then used that to configure my StripeOptions. I also setup an Plan, GatewayPlan, and Edition, so theoretically, once I have a page set up to allow customers to subscribe to an edition, it should work. However, I have a few questions that don't seem to be elucidated in the documentation:
In this example code in the documentation: var paymentRequest = await SubscriptionAppService.CreateSubscriptionAsync(editionId, CurrentTenant.GetId());, it seems to imply that the tenant already needs to be a tenant and be signed in to be able to subscribe to an edition. This seems confusing to me. I need my users to be able to sign up for an edition at the same time they sign up to be a tenant (it doesn't make sense to have a tenant without an edition assigned to them). Would I just do this all at the same time?
Related to 1, I don't have a use for the "host" section of the app, and really only need the app accessible via the admin and tenants. Is there a way to "disable" the host (non-tenant) functionality and just force the user to login or register before being redirected to the homepage? Unless host does something else I am unaware of, but I don't want users to be able to access anything without being logged in.
I am stuck on these at the moment, so any advice on how to structure this would be greatly appreciated.

When execution reaches my 'throw new UserFriendlyException("string")' line, it throws an actual exception rather than showing as a dialog as it used to do before i upgraded my project to Pro and .NET 9:
I assume there is some misconfiguration here, but I can't find it in any documentation online. Please show me how I can get back to having this display to the user in a dialog.
I just upgraded to Pro and also just upgraded to .NET 9. I went to run my Web project and ran into this:
I had updated that line based on this documentation: https://abp.io/docs/latest/release-info/migration-guides/abp-9-0. The intellisense shows it as a nullable argument, so I'm not sure why it is throwing this error.
If you need to see my project, I uploaded it for another ticket (9542) via email.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
Charlie
Not sure of ABP version (can't find solution configuration in ABP Studio (along with other features documentation says I am supposed to have, could be related to other issues below)
