ECONNREFUSED error when using Nuxt.js with @nuxtjs/supabase and Supabase Auth
Hello.
I am using Nuxt.js with the
@nuxtjs/supabase
module to handle authentication in my application. However, I'm encountering an issue where token refresh requests and other authentication-related API calls fail continuously, spamming the logs with errors like this Here is the full error log:5 Replies
Hi @Leo. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the error message you've provided, it appears you're encountering a connection refused error when trying to connect to a local Supabase instance. This issue is likely related to how your Supabase client is configured within your Nuxt.js application. Let's address this problem step by step:
1. Local Development Setup:
The error message shows that your application is trying to connect to
<http://127.0.0.1:54321
,> which is typically the address for a local Supabase instance. However, in a production environment or when using the hosted Supabase service, you should be connecting to your Supabase project URL instead.
2. Configuration:
To resolve this, you need to ensure that your Supabase configuration in your Nuxt.js application is correct. The @nuxtjs/supabase
module uses environment variables to set up the connection.
Here's how you should configure it:
1. In your project root, create or edit the .env
file and add these lines:
Replace your-project-id
and your-supabase-anon-key
with your actual Supabase project details.
2. In your nuxt.config.ts
file, ensure you have the Supabase module configured correctly:
The @nuxtjs/supabase
module will automatically use the environment variables you've set.
3. Redirect Handling:
If you're encountering issues with redirects, you might need to configure the redirect options. As mentioned in the Stack Overflow post about Supabase oauth redirectUrl (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78707068), you can add redirect options in your nuxt.config.ts
:
4. Server-Side Rendering Considerations:
If you're using server-side rendering, make sure that your server can reach the Supabase URL. Sometimes, network configurations or firewalls can prevent the server from making outbound connections.
5. Error Handling:
To better handle potential errors, you can implement error catching in your authentication logic. Here's an example based on the Stack Overflow post about handling 401 errors (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78706609):
This code snippet shows how to handle authentication errors and redirect to a login page when necessary.
By implementing these changes, you should be able to resolve the ECONNREFUSED error and properly connect your Nuxt.js application to Supabase. If you continue to experience issues, double-check your Supabase project settings and ensure that your application has the correct permissions to access the Supabase API.

@kapa.ai
could it be related to this error?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

Yes, this error is indeed related to the ECONNREFUSED issue we discussed earlier. The error message you've provided shows the same root cause:
This error indicates that your Nuxt application is trying to connect to a local Supabase instance at
127.0.0.1:54321
, but the connection is being refused. This is typically because there's no Supabase instance running locally at that address.
To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that your Nuxt application is configured to use your actual Supabase project URL instead of the local address. Here are the steps you should take:
1. Set up your environment variables correctly. In your .env
file, make sure you have:
Replace your-project-id
and your-supabase-anon-key
with your actual Supabase project details.
2. Ensure that your nuxt.config.ts
file is properly configured to use the Supabase module:
3. If you're using server-side rendering, make sure your server can reach the Supabase URL. Sometimes network configurations or firewalls can prevent the server from making outbound connections.
4. Double-check that you're not overriding the Supabase URL anywhere in your code with a local URL.
5. If you're running this in a development environment and intentionally trying to connect to a local Supabase instance, make sure that your local Supabase instance is actually running and accessible at the specified address.
If you've confirmed all these steps and are still encountering issues, you might want to check the Nuxt Supabase module documentation (https://supabase.nuxtjs.org/) for any additional configuration steps or known issues that might be relevant to your setup.
Remember, the key is to ensure that your application is connecting to your actual Supabase project URL, not a local address, unless you specifically intend to use a local Supabase instance for development.
