Communication between two microservices #6305 | Support Center | ABP Commercial

pvala created 4 months ago

ABP Framework version: v7.3.2
UI Type: Angular / Blazor Server
Database System: EF Core (MySQL)
Tiered (for MVC) or Auth Server Separated (for Angular): yes/no
Exception message and full stack trace:
Steps to reproduce the issue:

I have created a microservice called FormsService, on which I have added the FormsModule as a project. I want to call the APIs of other microservice into the FormsService microservice (specifically SaasService here). I have followed the following document to do so.

https://docs.abp.io/en/commercial/latest/startup-templates/microservice/synchronous-interservice-communication

The configuration is completed, and the required data is also seeded in the database. But when I run the whole application and try to call an API endpoint from the SaasService, I get an error in my Blazor UI project. I checked the logs of the Blazor UI project, I get the following error :

2023-12-08 20:54:02.276 +05:30 [ERR] Could not found remote action for method: System.Threading.Tasks.Task1[System.Collections.Generic.List1[G1.health.SaasService.TenantDto]] GetTenantNamesList() on the URL: https://localhost:44325 Volo.Abp.AbpException: Could not found remote action for method: System.Threading.Tasks.Task1[System.Collections.Generic.List1[G1.health.SaasService.TenantDto]] GetTenantNamesList() on the URL: https://localhost:44325 at Volo.Abp.Http.Client.DynamicProxying.ApiDescriptionFinder.FindActionAsync(HttpClient client, String baseUrl, Type serviceType, MethodInfo method) at Volo.Abp.Http.Client.DynamicProxying.DynamicHttpProxyInterceptor1.GetActionApiDescriptionModel(IAbpMethodInvocation invocation) at Volo.Abp.Http.Client.DynamicProxying.DynamicHttpProxyInterceptor1.InterceptAsync(IAbpMethodInvocation invocation) at Volo.Abp.Castle.DynamicProxy.CastleAsyncAbpInterceptorAdapter1.InterceptAsync[TResult](IInvocation invocation, IInvocationProceedInfo proceedInfo, Func3 proceed) at Castle.DynamicProxy.AsyncInterceptorBase.ProceedAsynchronous[TResult](IInvocation invocation, IInvocationProceedInfo proceedInfo) at Volo.Abp.Castle.DynamicProxy.CastleAbpMethodInvocationAdapterWithReturnValue1.ProceedAsync() at Volo.Abp.Validation.ValidationInterceptor.InterceptAsync(IAbpMethodInvocation invocation) at Volo.Abp.Castle.DynamicProxy.CastleAsyncAbpInterceptorAdapter1.InterceptAsync[TResult](IInvocation invocation, IInvocationProceedInfo proceedInfo, Func`3 proceed) at Volo.Forms.Web.Pages.Forms.CreateModalModel.OnGetAsync() in D:\G1 Health WorkSpace\Branches\DEV Branch\G1.health\services\forms\modules\Volo.Forms\src\Volo.Forms.Web\Pages\Forms\CreateModal.cshtml.cs:line 33 at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.RazorPages.Infrastructure.ExecutorFactory.GenericTaskHandlerMethod.Convert[T](Object taskAsObject) at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.RazorPages.Infrastructure.ExecutorFactory.GenericTaskHandlerMethod.Execute(Object receiver, Object[] arguments) at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.RazorPages.Infrastructure.PageActionInvoker.InvokeHandlerMethodAsync() at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.RazorPages.Infrastructure.PageActionInvoker.InvokeNextPageFilterAsync() 2023-12-08 20:54:02.316 +05:30 [INF] Executing ObjectResult, writing value of type 'Volo.Abp.Http.RemoteServiceErrorResponse'. 2023-12-08 20:54:02.322 +05:30 [INF] Executed page /Forms/CreateModal in 8739.3474ms 2023-12-08 20:54:02.322 +05:30 [INF] Executed endpoint '/Forms/CreateModal' 2023-12-08 20:54:02.323 +05:30 [INF] Request finished HTTP/2 GET https://localhost:44314/Forms/CreateModal - - - 500 - application/json;+charset=utf-8 9008.7077ms

It says that it couldn't find the API endpoint on the 44325 port, but my SaasService runs on the 44381 port. The 44325 port runs the Web Gateway application. I don't understand why the API call is redirected to the 44325 port and not 44381 port. This is the configuration I have done in my FormsService appsettings.json file,

"RemoteServices": { "AbpIdentity": { "BaseUrl": "https://localhost:44381/", "UseCurrentAccessToken": "false" } }, "IdentityClients": { "Default": { "GrantType": "client_credentials", "ClientId": "health_FormsService", "ClientSecret": "1q2w3e*", "Authority": "https://localhost:44322", "Scope": "SaasService" } }

Can you tell me why is it redirecting to the 44325 port? Or is there any configuration I am missing? I have also referred to the following ticket https://support.abp.io/QA/Questions/2268/Questions-regarding-new-microservice-design where it is stated that the Internal Gateway has been removed since last few versions. So, then which port should I be using in the above configuration to make it work? Please guide.

As you can see from the documentation, all the requests from the applications are redirected to the related gateway to be re-routed to the related microservice.

When you are making a request from the back-office application (blazor app) it redirects to the WebGateway (localhost:44325). When you make a request from the public-web application, it will redirect to the PublicWebGateway (localhost:44353). Then you need to configure the re-routing from the gateways to the related microservices. More information is at https://docs.abp.io/en/commercial/latest/startup-templates/microservice/gateways

By the way, the scenario you explained is not related to communication between microservices.

You mean I have to configure the ocelot.json file right? Also, how is it different from the communication between the microservices?

pvala created 4 months ago

I have already configured the ocelot.json file

{
  "ServiceKey": "Saas Service",
  "DownstreamPathTemplate": "/api/saas/{everything}",
  "DownstreamScheme": "https",
  "DownstreamHostAndPorts": [
    {
      "Host": "localhost",
      "Port": 44381
    }
  ],
  "UpstreamPathTemplate": "/api/saas/{everything}",
  "UpstreamHttpMethod": [ "Put", "Delete", "Get", "Post" ]
},

but it still gives the same error.

When you make a request from /Forms/CreateModal, it is from the UI right? It is the back-office application (web/blazor/angular whatever).

So, you are making a request from the application to the related microservice through the web gateway. It is not microservice-to-microservice communication. It is a client-server request.

When you make a request from the FormsService to SaasService (or vice versa) it is the microservice-to-microservice communication. When making this kind of request, there is no gateway interaction. They directly make request to each other (if you are using synchronous communication).

Okay, I understood your point. So, here's a scenario, I have the saas service, which already has few endpoints created by ABP. Now to add some new endpoints, I have created a new AppService called TenantOverrideAppService and similarly the interface for the app service ITenantOverrideAppService, as well the controller TenantOverrideController. Now I am trying to call that endpoint from the Blazor application and it throws the error that it can't find the specific endpoint. While if I use the existing endpoints provided by ABP for the Saas Service, it works. So, what's the configuration that I am missing here. Anything related to proxy? Please elaborate.

FYI, I have added all these files manually and not using ABP Suite.

Yes, you need to re-generate proxy for the SaasService since you have a new endpoint now. See https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/API/Static-CSharp-API-Clients#without-contracts for more information.
