Provided hostUrl value (1st parameter) is not a string, expected string

[dlmw]

• [x] I have read the FAQ.

Describe the bug When I go to "Menu", click on "Add menu category" and "Add cocktail", the following error appears in the console: "Provided hostUrl value (1st parameter) is not a string, expected string"

However, I have kind of a weird setup, because I use Caddy and had to write the following config file in order to have images correctly displayed:

bar.dlmw.ch {
    @uploads {
        path_regexp uploads ^/uploads/(.*)
    }
    rewrite @uploads /bar/uploads/{re.uploads.1}

    handle_path /search/* {
        reverse_proxy meilisearch:7700
    }
    handle_path /bar/* {
        reverse_proxy barassistant:8080
    }
    handle_path /* {
        reverse_proxy saltrim:8080
    }
}

It's hard to troubleshoot the issue but I wondered if you had the time to help me. :)

To Reproduce See above.

Versions:

• Bar Assistant: v4.0.2
• Salt Rim: v3.2.1
• Browser: Firefox

Additional context, log outputs... [Add any other context about the problem here.]

This looks like an issue with meilisearch host URL.

Make sure your .env file has correct URL. Can you post what is the output of window.srConfig from your salt-rim browser console.

Here's the ouput of window.srConfig:

{
  "VERSION": "v3.2.1",
  "API_URL": "https://bar.dlmw.ch/bar",
  "MEILISEARCH_URL": "https://bar.dlmw.ch/search",
  "DEFAULT_LOCALE": "en-US",
  "ENV": "",
  "MAILS_ENABLED": false,
  "BILLING_TOKEN": "",
  "BILLING_ENABLED": false,
  "BILLING_ENV": "",
  "ANALYTICS_HOST": "",
  "ALLOW_REGISTRATION": ""
}

And just in case, here's what the relevant environment variables look like:

barassistant:
  image: barassistant/server:4.0.2
  depends_on:
    - meilisearch
    - redis
  environment:
    - APP_URL=https://bar.dlmw.ch
    - LOG_CHANNEL=stderr
    - MEILISEARCH_KEY=[REDACTED]
    - MEILISEARCH_HOST=http://meilisearch:7700

saltrim:
  image: barassistant/salt-rim:3.2.1
  depends_on:
    - barassistant
  environment:
    - API_URL=https://bar.dlmw.ch/bar
    - MEILISEARCH_URL=https://bar.dlmw.ch/search
    - BAR_NAME=dlmw

That all seems alright. Can you try signing out and signing back in, or check it in incognito/private browsing mode.

If that does not help, post the output of localStorage.getItem('_salt_rim') in your browser console. This is the object that contains the final host_url that gets used by meilisearch client.

I got logged out so I tried again and now it works. The search button also had the exact same issue but it's working perfectly now.

I wonder what would cause that kind of issue, but I'm glad it's working. Hopefully that can help someone in the future with a similar issue!

Some internal settings are saved when you select a bar, if they got broken somehow in the meantime, logout can help.

Glad you got it working.
