No Auth Provider Found

[28development]

I am still unable to access my netlify backend within my webapp.

I am trying to login like this on production:

https://myurl.test.io/admin/index.html#/

After trying to signing I get this Netlify error:

No Auth Provider Found
Make sure you've configured the API credentials for Github from the Access part of your Netlify site dashboard.

This is my .yaml file:

backend:
  name: 'github'
  repo: 28development/myapp
  branch: main
  base_url: 'https://myapp.test.io'
  auth_endpoint: api/auth
  
media_folder: public/img
public_folder: /img
locale: 'de'
local_backend: true

Not sure what I am missing.

It looks like you've missed off the base_url and auth_endpoint sections of your config.yml. Double check you've completed each step in the README.md, it sounds like the error is coming from Netlify's auth backend which isn't what you want at all if you're running this on Vercel.

What exactly do you mean with

It looks like you've missed off the base_url and auth_endpoint sections of your config.yml

I set them up properly, I double-checked the documentation now and my Github client id and secret.

Right now I get a 404 error after trying to sign in here https://myapp.test.io/admin/index.html

https://myapp.test.io/api/auth/?provider=github&site_id=myapp.test.io&scope=repo

Any idea what I am missing?

[robb-j]

I misread your config file the first time and didn't see the values at the bottom. The auth_endpoint and base_url options need to go inside the backend object, so underneath branch and indented with 2 spaces (if you aren't familiar with YAML).

What happens when those values are set there?

Hi @robb-j,

I did not update the yml sorry, file I am using it that way, I still get the same error.

[robb-j]

Hmm, looking at your URL, you might be having the same issue as #1

https://myurl.test.io/admin/index.html#/

If you visit with a trailing slash does it work? So:

https://myurl.test.io/admin/index.html/

If that fixes it can follow the same solution as in #1?

[28development]

Hi,

nah that does not fix it, this: https://myurl.test.io/admin/index.html redirects to https://myurl.test.io/admin/index.html#/

I already have the trailing slash option enabled.

[28development]

Its strange if I click on the netlify login button it opens a window with this URL

https://myurl.test.io/api/auth/?provider=github&site_id=myurl.test.io&scope=repo
But it changes the URL to this after a second

https://myurl.test.io/api/auth?provider=github&site_id=myurl.test.io&scope=repo

[robb-j]

Can you just access your admin page like this:

https://myurl.test.io/admin/

that's how I've always used it. I don't think you need the .html bit.

[28development]

Ohh wait If I try that https://myurl.test.io/admin/ it returns a 404 but if I try, but if I try https://myurl.test.io/admin#/ I get following error:

Error loading the CMS configuration
Config Errors:
Error: Failed to load config.yml (404)
Check your config.yml file.

It is search the XML file here /mydomain/config.yml not inside the admin directory, this is wrong right?

[28development]

I have the index.html (which loads netlify) and the config.yml located inside

public/admin/

[28development]

IT WORKED FINALLY 👯

So these are my changes:

vercel.json

{
  "trailingSlash": false
}

And further, I moved my config.yml file from public/admin to public somehow it tried to look the file from there.

I'm glad you got this working! 🎉 for reference here is the folder structure I've been using with this package. I didn't know about the public folder.
