Unable to make API call to Developer Portal: AxiosError, Request failed with status code 502, API name: create-app

[ms-86]

Describe the bug I've tried to run a simple EchoBot from the Teams AI repo examples the Teams AI repo examples. My first problem was during Start local tunnel task:

[2024-08-05T08:32:36.212Z] [Info] - Running Visual Studio Code task: 'Start local tunnel'

(Total: 1 Step) Teams Toolkit is starting local tunneling service to forward public URL to local port. Open the terminal window for details.

Summary:

 Help link: https://aka.ms/teamsfx-local-tunnel-task

As a workaround I started tunnel myself in PowerShell terminal:

.\devtunnel host -p 3978 --protocol http --allow-anonymous
Hosting port: 3978
Connect via browser: https://*************.euw.devtunnels.ms
Inspect network activity: https://*************-inspect.euw.devtunnels.ms

Ready to accept connections for tunnel: *************

and then disabled this task from tasks.json Now when I try to run the app by hitting F5 I'm stuck at provisioning stage

VS Code Extension Information (please complete the following information):

Additional context I'm behind corporate proxy. I have following env variables configured: HTTP_PROXY= HTTPS_PROXY= NO_PROXY=localhost

[anchenyi]

hi, thanks for reporting this issue. I am investagating and will get back to you ASAP.

[anchenyi]

hi @ms-86, I cannot reproduce this issue on my side. The error meesage "DeveloperPortalAPIFailedError:Unable to make API call to Developer Portal: AxiosError, Request failed with status code 502" was probably due to a brief service unavailability. Could you retry to see if this still happens? Sorry for the inconvenience.

[hirokika]

hi @anchenyi, in my environment, a similar error occurs although the error code is different. I executed the following provision command using the teamsapp command behind corporate proxy: npx teamsapp provision --env dev

An error occurs during the execution of teamsApp/create, and the Azure resources are not created successfully. The same situation occurs no matter how many times I try. Are there any solutions?

Costs may apply based on usage. Do you want to provision resources in prod environment using listed accounts? yes

hi @hirokika, the APIs look fine on my side. Could you provide your project code for further investigation? Thanks!

[hirokika]

@anchenyi Thank you for your reply!!

I am trying to log in to Azure and execute the provisioning commands using a shell script as shown below. The environment variables are defined in a .env file and read by the shell script.

export AZURE_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_CLIENT_ID=xxx
export AZURE_TENANT_ID=xxx
export AZURE_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_CLIENT_SECRET=xxx

# install teamsapp-cli
npm install -g @microsoft/teamsapp-cli@3.0.2

# login to Azure
npx teamsapp auth login azure --username $AZURE_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_CLIENT_ID  \
                  --service-principal true \
                  --tenant $AZURE_TENANT_ID \
                  --password $AZURE_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_CLIENT_SECRET \
                  --interactive false

# provision
npx teamsapp provision --env dev

The teamsapp.yml file looks like this:

provision:
    - uses: teamsApp/create
      with:
          name: my-project-bot
      writeToEnvironmentFile:
          teamsAppId: TEAMS_APP_ID

    - uses: aadApp/create
      with:
          name: my-project-bot
          generateClientSecret: true
          signInAudience: AzureADMultipleOrgs
      writeToEnvironmentFile:
          clientId: BOT_ID
          clientSecret: SECRET_BOT_PASSWORD
          objectId: BOT_OBJECT_ID

    - uses: arm/deploy
      with:
          subscriptionId: ${{AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID}}
          resourceGroupName: ${{AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME}}
          templates:
              - path: ./infra/azure.bicep
                parameters: ./infra/azure.parameters.json
                deploymentName: Create-resources-for-bot
          bicepCliVersion: v0.9.1

    …

I have set the proxy with npm set proxy and http-proxy, and also set the environment variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY. While the npm library installation and login succeed, the aadApp/create step fails. The commands complete successfully if not behind corporate proxy.

[anchenyi]

hi @hirokika, so currently, it is the aadApp/create that is failing, not teamsApp/create, right? Since in the previous post, the error was related to teamsApp/create.

[hirokika]

@anchenyi Oh, sorry about that. That was a mistake on my part. As I originally mentioned, the error occurs with teamsApp/create.

[anchenyi]

Got it, @hirokika . Could you provide all related error messages? If the command works fine without your corporate proxy, it may due to the network.

[hirokika]

Thanks @anchenyi, here is all the log from running the shell script. It's not a problem if deprecated warnings appear during npm install, right?

$ ./provision.sh

I want to run the deploy command after provisioning, but I can't proceed because the provisioning failed. Since npm install succeeded, I thought the network might not be the issue, but I'll check further to confirm if there are any specific URLs being blocked.

[anchenyi]

Thanks @hirokika for providing these details. "Request failed with status code 400, API name: create-app, X-Correlation-ID: undefined." This is the critical error message. Since the X-Correlation-ID is undefined, and I also checked the server-side logs, it looks like this request did not reach the server. If everything works fine without the corporate proxy, I think you might need to check the network settings.

For your information, the "create-app" API's url is https://dev.teams.microsoft.com/{region}/api/appdefinitions/v2/import

[hirokika]

Thank you @anchenyi, for the detailed explanation! If the request isn’t reaching the server, it indeed suggests that the proxy is likely interfering… I will check the network settings further.

@anchenyi

I'm still getting Request failed with status code 502, API name: create-app, X-Correlation-ID: undefined

You wrote something about create-app URL. In a data field of the response I see an HTML in which there's such URL https://dev.teams.microsoft.com/api/appdefinitions/v2/import?overwriteIfAppAlreadyExists=false so it's not matching a pattern with region you wrote about.

For your information, the "create-app" API's url is https://dev.teams.microsoft.com/{region}/api/appdefinitions/v2/import

[anchenyi]

hi @ms-86 , the API url is account-based, and what you mentioned is a global endpoint, which is also valid. Could you share all the error response data for futher investigation? Thanks!

[ms-86]

Hi @anchenyi this is an log from Teams Toolkit Output in VS Code log.txt

Let me know if you need something else.

[anchenyi]

hi @ms-86, thanks for the details. It seems to be a network-related issue. Can the command succeed without your corporate proxy?
