Unexpected provider error

Hi, I'm currently running novu locally using docker compose. I set up a basic workflow that sends a push notification. I set up the FCM provider. I then use the following script to send a notification:

// Set device token for push
const { Novu, PushProviderIdEnum } = require('@novu/node');

const config = {
  backendUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
};

const novu = new Novu(NOVU_API_KEY, config);

// Only run once at the start
//novu.subscribers.setCredentials(SUBSCRIBER_ID, PushProviderIdEnum.FCM, {
//  deviceTokens: [DEVICE_TOKEN],
//}).then((res) => { console.log("Set device token successfully."); }).catch((error) => { console.log(error); })

// Send a push notification
novu.trigger(WORKFLOW_ID, {
  to: {
    subscriberId: SUBSCRIBER_ID,
  },
  payload: {
    "message": "hi"
  },
});

// Set device token for push
const { Novu, PushProviderIdEnum } = require('@novu/node');

const config = {
  backendUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
};

const novu = new Novu(NOVU_API_KEY, config);

// Only run once at the start
//novu.subscribers.setCredentials(SUBSCRIBER_ID, PushProviderIdEnum.FCM, {
//  deviceTokens: [DEVICE_TOKEN],
//}).then((res) => { console.log("Set device token successfully."); }).catch((error) => { console.log(error); })

// Send a push notification
novu.trigger(WORKFLOW_ID, {
  to: {
    subscriberId: SUBSCRIBER_ID,
  },
  payload: {
    "message": "hi"
  },
});

I downloaded the FCM toolbox app from the play store, which gives me a device token. So I can test things without having to code an app for it. If I now run my script, I see the notification in the acitvity monitor but it tells me, that there is an unexpected provider error. The details are just {}. How should I debug this?

@balance, you just advanced to level 3!

Pawan Jain•15mo ago

Hi @balance Possible chances are it firebase configs are not matching. Service account JSON you stored in fcm integration is of same project?

balance•15mo ago

The only place I used the service account json was in the FCM Integration. Neither the FCM Toolkit app I use to test it not my code to send notification uses it. So I can't see where anything would have to match.

Pawan Jain•15mo ago

How this FCM toolkit app works? What input it takes?

balance•15mo ago

It just gives you a device tolen but maybe I have to use their service account? https://github.com/SimonMarquis/FCM-toolbox/blob/master/app/google-services.json They use a public one or you compile it yourwelf with your own services config file, which I fidn't. I'm inexperienced with FCM.

Pawan Jain•15mo ago

Yes you will have to use their service account JSON file if fcm token is generated using their fcm configs

balance•15mo ago

So to clarify: I set up the FCM integration using the above google-services.json. I can then send a notification with the above code to the app, right?

Pawan Jain•15mo ago

Yes

balance•15mo ago

Okay, that doesn't work. How can I set the logger to be more verbose? So I get an actual error. I just don't know how to debug this if the error is {}

Pawan Jain•15mo ago

@zacclifton can we increase log level while running novu in local machine?

balance•15mo ago

ah I just saw, if I use the FCM toolbox google-service.json for the FCM integration, I get

{
  "code": "app/invalid-credential",
  "message": "Service account object must contain a string \"project_id\" property."
}

https://docs.novu.co/channels/push/fcm#generate-service-account-key-json Is there a mismatch in configration version?

Pawan Jain•15mo ago

is your json content matching this format { "type": "service_account", "project_id": "PROJECT_ID", "private_key_id": "PRIVATE_KEY_ID", "private_key": "PRIVATE_KEY", "client_email": "FIREBASE_ADMIN_SDK_EMAIL", "client_id": "CLIENT_ID", "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth", "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token", "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs", "client_x509_cert_url": "CLIENT_X509_CERT_URL" }

balance•15mo ago

No, it's https://github.com/SimonMarquis/FCM-toolbox/blob/master/app/google-services.json Can't I just receive notification for testing purposes in the FCM console or something like that?

Pawan Jain•15mo ago

for that also you will need fcm token generated using that that config

balance•15mo ago

I just assume Novu adopts the file format provided by google. I do. I use the FCM Toolkit to generate a device token. The app uses the above google services file but it doesn't match novus format - for whatever reason. I'm fine using whatever - I just don't want to write a whole example application to simply receive notifications for testing purposes. There must be a simple way, can't be that uncommon o.O

Zac Clifton•15mo ago

Yes, in the env file set the

 LOGGING_LEVEL

 LOGGING_LEVEL

env variable to verbose or debug. keep in mind not everything is logged properly at this moment.

balance•15mo ago

thanks, I'm quit sure that my issue has to do with the mismatch between my app that receives notifications and the setup of the integration though. So how would you receive notifications for testing purposes? Do you guys have an app for that?

Pawan Jain•15mo ago

Hi @balance Currently, We don't have an example app. I will ping in this thread, once it will be available

Hi Did you change anything from your end? is FCM service account json is of same format as in this doc https://docs.novu.co/channels/push/fcm
