/encrypt api is not working

[saurabhvaj]

Not really a java person but, the above /encrypt is not working for me. Only an ERROR msg comes as a response. In order, I'm not able to add my bitbucket repo in the widget, because it saves passwords in an encrypted format.

My api.properties file is:

dbname=dashboard
server.contextPath=/api 
server.port=8080 
auth.expirationTime=10000
key=8jh6HIBi7AHav/5u+zjLDhZKC4/QMurx

Also when I dig a bit in code the below code from ./java/com/capitalone/dashboard/service/EncryptionServiceImpl.java is responsible for encryption.

public String encrypt(String message) {
        String key = apiSettings.getKey();
        String returnString = "ERROR";
        if (!"".equals(key)) {
            try {
                returnString = Encryption.encryptString(message, key);
            } catch (EncryptionException ignored) {
                LOGGER.debug("Caught encryption exception", ignored);
            }
        }
        return returnString;

which imports packages. import com.capitalone.dashboard.util.Encryption; import com.capitalone.dashboard.util.EncryptionException;

I'm not able to find these. Let me know if I'm running in the wrong direction. Trying to integrate bitbucket cloud with hygieia.

I'm able to resolve this, and found that api code is not able to get properties from an external file. Once I embedded the properties inside the jar, this starts working. But I think error msg should be more informative in this case.
