Client Side Errors for Office.context.mailbox.getUserIdentityTokenAsync - outlook-addin

What are the client side errors to be aware of when calling getUserIdentityTokenAsync.
Office.context.mailbox.getUserIdentityTokenAsync(function cb(result) {
if (result.status === "succeeded") {
var token = asyncResult.value;
} else {
//What do i expect here?
}
});
I cannot see any information on this in the documentation. Where am i not looking? On the other hand Office.context.auth.getAccessTokenAsync has documented error codes. Is there something similar for getUserIdentityTokenAsync?

The errors from this API are likely to be network or web service errors, and other than retrying, there's not much the addin can specifically do. The suggestion is to retry a few times, with exponential delay between retries (10s, 1 min, 5 min).

Is there a way to make the Kafka consumer poll-function throw errors, rather than the library handling them internally?

I'm working on a Kafka consumer in kotlin/javalin, using the standard kafka library org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer, and struggling a bit with the poll function, as it seems to never throw any errors that can be caught, it just writes warn/errors to the console. For example, when it's not able to reach the broker, it logges a warning that "Connection to node -1 could not be established. Broker may not be available.":
{
"timestamp": "2022-12-14T13:30:58.673+01:00",
"level": "WARN",
"thread": "main",
"logger": "org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient",
"message": "[Consumer clientId=xxx, groupId=xxx] Connection to node -1 (localhost/127.0.0.1:1000) could not be established. Broker may not be available."
}
But it doesn't actually throw any errors, so it's pretty much impossible to handle the error, if you would like to do anything other than just continue to poll forever. Does anyone know if there is some way to configure this behavior? Or am I missing something?
The relevant code
consumer = createConsumer() // This returns a Consumer<String?, String?>
consumer.subscribe(listOf(TOPIC))
while (true) {
val records = consumer.poll(Duration.ofSeconds(1))
records.iterator().forEach {
println(it.key())
}
consumer.commitSync() // Commit offset after finished processing entries
}
I can trigger a timeout-error if I call the partitionsFor-function from the consumer, so this can work as a liveness-probe, but this feels more like a hack than the intended way to do it.
try {
var committed = consumer.partitionsFor(TOPIC)
} catch (e: Exception) {
println(e)
}
Thanks!
The client is dumb, and expects you to provide the correct values.
You can use AdminClient.describeCluster() with the same address to verify connection, then catch/throw RuntimeException from that.
Otherwise, the consumer will retry and update the metadata for your bootstrap.servers until it can connect.

IPFS js cant connect to ws://127.0.0.1:8081/p2p/

I am running a ipfs js instance which is working well but i get some error with web sockets and I am unsure why it is even calling a local IP ?
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at ws://127.0.0.1:8081/p2p/QmSoLV4Bbm51jM9C4gDYZQ9Cy3U6aXMJDAbzgu2fzaDs64.
In firefox on deployed site no errors but in safari
The page at https://alpha.nodenogg.in/ was not allowed to run insecure content from ws://127.0.0.1:8081/p2p/Qmbut9Ywz9YEDrz8ySBSgWyJk41Uvm2QJPhwDJzJyGFsD6.
here is some of the code I am using, any pointers and to where this error is coming from would be great. The site however does what I want with IPFS so I am not sure what this error is related to. Thank you
import VueIpfs from 'ipfs'
const ipfs = VueIpfs.create()
mounted: function () {
// console.log(VueIpfs)
this.getIpfsNodeInfo()
},
methods: {
async getIpfsNodeInfo() {
try {
// Await for ipfs node instance.
node = await ipfs
} catch (err) {
// Set error status text.
this.status = `Error: ${err}`
}
},
onFileSelected(event) {
this.selectedFile = event.target.files[0]
this.saveIPFS()
},
async saveIPFS() {
try {
this.fileContents = await node.add(this.selectedFile)
this.getIPFS()
} catch (err) {
// Set error status text.
this.status = `Error: ${err}`
}
},
}
This is not indeed an issue with your code.
I believe you are using webrtc-star for transport and discovery (it is the default for browser environment in js-ipfs, if you did not custom it, you should have it).
So, you use webrtc-star to discover other peers to talk to. Once you get to know these peers, your node will get to know all the multiaddrs that peer is announcing to the network. There will be nodes announcing several addresses, some of which are local IP addresses. js-libp2p has a feature to specify announce and noAnnounce addresses in its configuration, which allows people to be able to specify in these cases if you should not announce your local addr and announce the public one. However, this feature is not widely known at the moment.
However, from a libp2p/IPFS stand point, we need to find a better way of catching and logging these errors since they seem error related to your node/code, but they are a result of bad propagation of multiaddrs that other peers announce in the network.
I hope that I answered your question, and we will look into a patch to get rid of these errors

easynetQ delayed respond/request resulting in timeout

I've run into a problem with using the request/respond pattern of EasyNetQ while using it on our server (Windows Server 2008). Not able to reproduce it locally at the moment.
The setup is we have 2 windows services (running as console applications for testing) which are connected through the request/respond pattern in EasyNetQ. This has been working as expected until recently on the server where the request side does not "consume" the responses until after the request timeouts.
I have included 2 links to pastebin which contain the console logging of EasyNetQ which will hopefully make my problem a bit more clear.
RequestSide
RespondSide
Besides that, my request code looks like this:
var request = new foobar();
var response = _bus.Request<foobar, foobar2>(request);
and on the respond side:
var response = new response();
_bus.Respond<foobar, foobar2>(request =>
{
try
{
....
return response;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
....
return response;
}
});
As I've said, the request side sends the request as expected and the respond side consumes/catches it. This works as it should, but when the respond side is done processing and responds (which it does, the messages can be seen in the RabbitMQ management thingy) the request doesn't consume/catch the response until after the request has timed out (default timeout is 10s, tried setting to 60s aswell, makes no difference). This is also evident in the logs linked above as you'll see on the RequestSide, with the 5 or so messages received from the response queue which previously timed out.
I've tried using RespondAsync in case the processing was taking too long and messing something up, didn't help. Tried using both RespondAsync & RequestAsync, just messed everything up even more (I was probably doing something wrong with the request :)).
I might be missing something, but I'm not sure what to try from here.
EDIT: Noticed I messed something up. As well as added more context below:
The IBus used for the request/response is created and injected with Ninject:
class FooModule : NinjectModule
{
public override void Load()
{
Bind<IBus>().ToMethod(ctx => RabbitHutch.CreateBus("host=localhost", x => x.Register<IEasyNetQLogger>(_ => logger))).InSingletonScope();
}
}
And it's all tied together by the service being constructed using Topshelf with Ninject like so:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
HostFactory.Run(x =>
{
x.UseNinject(new FooModule());
x.Service<FooService>(s =>
{
s.ConstructUsingNinject();
s.WhenStarted((service, control) => service.Start(control));
s.WhenStopped((service, control) => service.Stop(control));
});
x.RunAsLocalSystem();
});
}
The Topshelf setup has all been tested pretty thoroughly and it works as intended, and should not really be relevant for the request/respond problem, but I thought I would provide a bit more context.
I had this same issue, my problem was i set the timeout only in the response but not in the request side, after i set the timeoute in both side it worked fine
my connection for eg.
host=hostname;timeout=120;virtualHost=myhost;username=myusername;passw
ord=mypassword

how do i get an exception out of a web service?

I have a web service that runs perfectly when i reference it from within the project solution. As soon as i upload it to the remote server, it starts blowing up. Unfortunately, the only error message I get is on the client side "faultexception was unhandled by user code". Inside of the web service, I have exceptions handled in all of the methods, so I'm pretty sure it's getting caught somewhere, but I don't know how to see it. I suspect that the problem is permissions related, but I can't see where it's happening.
I tried placing an error message into object returns, but it's still not making it out; something like this:
public bool SetDirectReports(ADUser user)
{
try
{
var adEntry = new DirectoryEntry(string.Format("LDAP://<GUID={0}>", user.Guid), "administrator", "S3cur1ty");
if (adEntry.Properties["directReports"].Count > 0)
{
user.DirectReports = new List<ADUser>();
foreach (string directReport in adEntry.Properties["directReports"]) //is being returned as full distinguished name
{
var dr = new DirectoryEntry(string.Format("LDAP://{0}", directReport), "administrator", "S3cur1ty");
user.DirectReports.Add(GetUserByGuid(dr.NativeGuid));
}
return true;
}
else
{
user.DirectReports = new List<ADUser>();
return false;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
user.HasError = true;
user.ErrorMessage = "Error setting direct reports: " + ex.Message;
return false;
}
}
but its' still not catching. I was hoping for a better approach. I'm not sure if I could add something that would output the exception to the console or what. Any help would be appreciated. TIA
P.S. this isn't necessarily the method thats crashing, there's a web of them in the service.
You should dump all of your exceptions to a log file on the server side; exposing error information to the client is a potential security risk, which is why it's turned off by default.
If you really want to send exception information to the client, you can turn it on. If you are using a WCF service you should set the "includeExceptionDetailsInFaults" property on for the service behavior, as described in this MSDN article on dealing with unhandled exceptions in WCF. Once you do so, you will have a property on the FaultException called Detail that should itself be a type of Exception.
For better error handling you should also take a look at typed faults using the FaultContract and FaultException<> class; these have the benefit that they don't throw the channel into a faulted state and can be handled correctly:
try
{
// do stuff here
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
var detail = new CustomFaultDetail
{
Message = "Error setting direct reports: " + ex.Message
};
throw new FaultException<CustomFaultDetail>(detail);
}
If you are using an ASP.NET Web Service, you should set the customErrors mode to "Off" in your web.config. This will send back the entire exception detail as HTML, which the client should receive as part of the SOAP exception that it receives.
The error your are seeing ("faultexception was unhandled by user code") is happening because this is a remote exception and it is standard behavior to only display exceptions on the local computer by default. In order to make it work how you intend, you need to change the customErrors section of the web.config and set it to Off
UPDATE: I found a related question: c# exception not captured correctly by jquery ajax
(Three years later..)
Here's the solution I came up with, along with some sample WCF code, and Angular code to catch, and display the exception message:
Catching exceptions from WPF web services
Basically, you just need to wrap your WCF service in a try..catch, and when something goes wrong, set a OutgoingWebResponseContext value.
For example, in this web service, I've slipped in an Exception, which will make my catch code set the OutgoingWebResponseContext value.
It looks odd... as I then return null, but this works fine.
public List<string> GetAllCustomerNames()
{
// Get a list of unique Customer names.
//
try
{
throw new Exception("Oh heck, something went wrong !");
NorthwindDataContext dc = new NorthwindDataContext();
var results = (from cust in dc.Customers select cust.CompanyName).Distinct().OrderBy(s => s).ToList();
return results;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
OutgoingWebResponseContext response = WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse;
response.StatusCode = System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Forbidden;
response.StatusDescription = ex.Message.Replace("\r\n", "");
return null;
}
}
What is brilliant about this try..catch is that, with minimal changes to your code, it'll add the error text to the HTTP Status, as you can see here in Google Chrome:
If you didn't have this try..catch code, you'd just get an HTTP Status Error of 400, which means "Bad Request".
So now, with our try..catch in place, I can call my web service from my Angular controller, and look out for such error messages coming back.
$http.get('http://localhost:15021/Service1.svc/getAllCustomerNames')
.then(function (data) {
// We successfully loaded the list of Customer names.
$scope.ListOfCustomerNames = data.GetAllCustomerNamesResult;
}, function (errorResponse) {
// The WCF Web Service returned an error
var HTTPErrorNumber = errorResponse.status;
var HTTPErrorStatusText = errorResponse.statusText;
alert("An error occurred whilst fetching Customer Names\r\nHTTP status code: " + HTTPErrorNumber + "\r\nError: " + HTTPErrorStatusText);
});
Cool, hey ?
Incredibly simple, generic, and easy to add to your services.
Shame some readers thought it was worth voting down. Sorry about that.
You have several options:
1) If you are using WCF, throw a FaultException on the server and catch it on the client. You could, for instance, implement a FaultContract on your service, and wrap the exception in a FaultException. Some guidance to this here.
2) You could use the Windows Server AppFabric which would give you more details to the exception within IIS. (requires some fiddling to get it working, though)
3) Why not implement some sort of server-side logging for the exceptions? Even if to a file, it would be invaluable to you to decipher what is really happening. It is not a good practice (especially for security reasons) to rely on the client to convey the inner workings of the server.

What WCF Exceptions should I retry on failure for? (such as the bogus 'xxx host did not receive a reply within 00:01:00')

I have a WCF client that has thrown this common error, just to be resolved with retrying the HTTP call to the server. For what it's worth this exception was not generated within 1 minute. It was generated in 3 seconds.
The request operation sent to xxxxxx
did not receive a reply within the
configured timeout (00:01:00). The
time allotted to this operation may
have been a portion of a longer
timeout. This may be because the
service is still processing the
operation or because the service was
unable to send a reply message. Please
consider increasing the operation
timeout (by casting the channel/proxy
to IContextChannel and setting the
OperationTimeout property) and ensure
that the service is able to connect to
the client
How are professionals handling these common WCF errors? What other bogus errors should I handle.
For example, I'm considering timing the WCF call and if that above (bogus) error is thrown in under 55 seconds, I retry the entire operation (using a while() loop). I believe I have to reset the entire channel, but I'm hoping you guys will tell me what's right to do.
What other
I make all of my WCF calls from a custom "using" statement which handles exceptions and potential retires. My code optionally allows me to pass a policy object to the statement so I can easily change the behavior, like if I don't want to retry on error.
The gist of the code is as follows:
[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.NoInlining)]
public static void ProxyUsing<T>(ClientBase<T> proxy, Action action)
where T : class
{
try
{
proxy.Open();
using(OperationContextScope context = new OperationContextScope(proxy.InnerChannel))
{
//Add some headers here, or whatever you want
action();
}
}
catch(FaultException fe)
{
//Handle stuff here
}
finally
{
try
{
if(proxy != null
&& proxy.State != CommunicationState.Faulted)
{
proxy.Close();
}
else
{
proxy.Abort();
}
}
catch
{
if(proxy != null)
{
proxy.Abort();
}
}
}
}
You can then use the call like follows:
ProxyUsing<IMyService>(myService = GetServiceInstance(), () =>
{
myService.SomeMethod(...);
});
The NoInlining call probably isn't important for you. I need it because I have some custom logging code that logs the call stack after an exception, so it's important to preserve that method hierarchy in that case.
