Developer portal is having a problem connecting to widget in development mode

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to customize a widget with API Management's scaffold. However, when I run npm start, the browser opens with an error as seen in the screenshot.

How do I resolve the error that is throwing: Secrets send by Dev Portal are invalid?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Linda Zhou Thanks for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A. From the stack trace above, this error occurs when calling askForSecrets function. As per the code logic, the console error Could not get 'editorData' from the search params of the URL first occurred in this line when trying to get search params from URL http://localhost:3000/ and then followed by exception Secrets send by Dev Portal are invalid in this line. The URL didn't have any search params like editorData and hence the exception occurred.

This appears to be happening in your local environment and suggest you pass the valid search params (query string) when calling the URL and debug the JavaScript if in case of any other errors or exception.

Also note, this function may return undefined value when logged in as anonymous in the portal. I hope this helps and let me know if any questions.

Answer 2

We are having similar problems. The dev screen in our browser says "Uncaught (in promise) Secrets send by Dev Portal are invalid", while the main screen (localhost:3000) is saying "Loading". If anyone can advise on this, it would be helpful.

Any update on the issue ? It's been more than years but no reply from Microsoft on this. We have a requirement to improve apim developer portal through custom widget. I don;t think, MS is improving the Azure APIM developer portal.
