1. docker-compose up
2. Navigate to https://localhost:5202/
3. login with any credentials

No POST errors

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS
• Browser: Google Chrome
• Version: Latest

Additional context
What are the default admin credentials and how do you set new ones? I went into mongodb and created a new document following the schema from https://github.com/Viveckh/Veniqa/blob/develop/management-server/database/models/user.js#L6 here.

Please assist. Thanks.

The CORS error is happening because your admin dashboard (localhost:5202) is trying to send a login request to shopping-server (localhost:4201). In your /management-webclient, it seems like you changed the base URL in .env files. Please put the base URL to be

VUE_APP_API_BASE_URL=https://localhost:4202/

@Viveckh can you give more info on creds.

Closing this issue @xtermsoft since the new changes should resolve your problems.

@smaharj1 @Viveckh I am reopening this issue since the following credentials seems to be incorrect:

Username: [email protected]
Password: pass$12

Please refer to the screenshot attached. Also, what's up with the socket connections being refused? I made the change to /management-webclient and /management-serveras mentioned in @smaharj1 's comment above. Thanks for all your help.

Have you tried deleting the mongo docker images and containers? And did you pull the latest?

I’ll look into socket error in a bit

[gfyre]

Alright, so I deleted all all the old containers and installed the latest version. Now I am able to log in, however there are a few issues:

1. I keep on getting logged out of the dashboard. After some time, it just doesn't allow me to do anything and refreshing the page logs me out.

2. When adding arrays to the product page, the array window is not readable (please refer to the screenshot)

3. I am not able to make changes to the existing product or add a new product but I am assuming that it is because I dont have write access to your S3 database (the console log shows CORS errors for AWS S3. Refer to the screenshot)

4. When a new admin is added, what password would they use to log in, as I am not asked to enter a new password

Thanks alot for your help buddy! Really really appreciate it!

@xtermsoft

1. You get logged out after some inactive time. It is intended.

2. The fix is out there. Fix #106 Made changes to the UI for attributes modal not working #107 Thank you for bringing that up.

3. For S3, you will have to point it to your own S3 buckets. We can't give the bucket access for local development. You need to create your buckets and update the info in management-server/config.json. Then, you'd need to update the URL in .env file in management-webclient too to point to your S3 bucket.

4. Please be patient with this one. We don't have a quick fix. Currently, the new account only works with proper nodemailer and sendgrid setup. If you have already configured those, then you should navigate to management-server/.env.development and add these keys:

You can also add these keys in your docker-compose.yml file under management-server environment variable

Note: Please open a new issue for separate issues. It is hard to track multiple issues in a closed issue

@smaharj1 Apologies for adding multiple issues into one close issue. I'll bear this in mind.

What I meant by "I keep on getting logged out of the dashboard. After some time, it just doesn't allow me to do anything and refreshing the page logs me out." is it logs me out when I am trying to do something. It all of a sudden shows me just "Catalogue" in the left-hand nav and then upon refreshing the page, I am logged out.
