Dart Generator returns `Invalid Response`

Clients

I try to execute x dart http://bsc-linuxdev:13666 and I get the following error:

Invalid Response from http://bsc-linuxdev:13666/types/dart

In the log of my server I see the following entries:

2021-09-09 10:25:51.517 +02:00 [DBG] [] [ThreadId: 29]  null ClientRestCall  () null Request stats: TypesDart | /types/dart | bsc-linuxdev:13666 | 10.66.66.1 |  
2021-09-09 10:25:51.518 +02:00 [ERR] [] [ThreadId: 29]  null ClientRestCall  () null Uncaught Exception: ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 's') | Det. Value cannot be null. (Parameter 's')

Do I miss something? Any idea where I can get further details or what might be wrong here?

UPDATE
I was just watching your video regarding Dart and there you say .NET 5 is requied. My servers run on .NETCore 3.1 as docker containers. May this cause the problem??

I also tried the Android Studio Plugin. There I get a different strange error message:

The URL is valid. In the browser it returns the metadata page Listing all my APIs

Can’t tell what the issue is without a repro or full error details.

What’s the complete HTTP Response of your Dart DTOs route?

Hi @mythz
Found it, fully my fault, sorry for making noise here…
Some time ago I added a GlobalRequestFilter which writes some statistic data to a database. It was assuming that the session is authenticatd and ended in a NPE when I did int.Parse(session.UserAuthId). If the session is not authenticated Session.UserAuthId is of course NULL which caused the above described error…

But this leads me to another question:
How can I disable this in production? I was just reading through Restricting services but I currently don’t see how I can deny all those x tools code generators ?

And regarding NPE: I saw an other problem with the generated Dart code: It seems NOT support NULL safety. That was a breaking change introduced with Dart SDK 2.12. I know that I can set the SDK version in my pubspec.yaml file to 2.11, but that may have other impacts. The current Dart SDK version is 2.14.1.

UPDATE
Ohh, just read this. I am still on 5.11 and will quickly update to 5.12, assuming it is built in there (NuGet and not MyGet).

I’ve no idea what this is asking.

Yep it is, your Flutter/Dart Apps will also need to update to use the latest servicestack v2.0.0 library:

dependencies:
  servicestack: ^2.0.0

NativeTypes is a feature plugin which can be removed for production if you only do your client code generation locally or in lower environments.

if (HostingEnvironment.IsProduction())
{
    Plugins.RemoveAll(x => x is NativeTypesFeature);
}

Or you can disable using SetConfig and EnableFeatures and the Metadata feature, eg

var hostConfig = new HostConfig
{
    DebugMode = AppSettings.Get(nameof(HostConfig.DebugMode), HostingEnvironment.IsDevelopment())
};

if (HostingEnvironment.IsProduction())
{
    hostConfig.EnableFeatures = Feature.All.Remove(Feature.Metadata);
}

SetConfig(hostConfig);

Hi @layoric
Thanks a lot, exactly what I was looking for. I just searched in the wrong area (was not aware of the fact this is a plugin…).
