Violation "Could not connect to service"

[LyamD]

Hi,

I'm having an issue with the validator, it keep raising a violation "Could not connect to service" I've followed the troubleshooting checklist. I've had and resolved issues with the site key & domains. Setting the SCP didn't change anything. If a put the score threshold too high, the validator return a violation 'score too low', making me think that I am in fact getting a response from google.

How can I at least get more information from this error ?

Thanks.

Hi, have you tried adding {{ errorCodes }}? https://github.com/karser/KarserRecaptcha3Bundle#how-to-show-errors-from-the-captchas-response

[LyamD]

Yes, I should have been more clear sorry. It's actually the {{ errorCodes }} that's returning me 'Could not connect to service'

Looks like in case of a bad response, google/recaptcha just throws the standard error constant without letting us know the actual error

return '{"success": false, "error-codes": ["'.ReCaptcha::E_CONNECTION_FAILED.'"]}';

You can temporarily modify google/recaptcha/src/ReCaptcha/RequestMethod/Post.php in the vendor folder to get the actual error from Google Recaptcha https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15620124/http-requests-with-file-get-contents-getting-the-response-code

$response = file_get_contents("http://example.com", false, stream_context_create(['http' => ['ignore_errors' => true]]));
var_dump($response);
var_dump($http_response_header);

It appears that submit() in .../RequestMethod/Post.php is never called, instead it's always passing through .../RequestMethod/CurlPost.php.

I've dumped $response & $options (in CurlPost.php)

But I don't really know what to think of this. I still don't understand how it can get the error "Score threshold not met" if there is no response (I'm forcing it by changing the score_threshold at 1 in karser_recaptcha3.yaml)

Sorry for the wrong information. Try to get the error from curl then

        $response = $this->curl->exec($handle);
        $body = curl_error($handle);
        $http_status = curl_getinfo($handle, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        $curl_errno= curl_errno($handle);
        var_dump($body, $http_status, $curl_errno);
        $this->curl->close($handle);

Thanks ! The error seems to be about SSL Certificate: "Unable to get local issuer certificate", probably due to the fact that i'm in localhost. I'm gonna try various things in the next days (became busy with something else in-between ). I'll keep this post updated (I hope with the solution when I found one)

[karser]

It probably has to do with your local setup. Take a look at this article and video https://ourcodeworld.com/articles/read/196/xampp-wampp-php-ssl-certificate-error-unable-to-get-local-issuer-certificate

Thanks, I tried to fix local setup but didn't manage to, but as soon as I pushed it to my dev server (with an already valid SSL Cert) it worked instant. Closing the issue

I'm also got this issue. But my my localhost is ssl encrypted. on symfony 6.2 it does work, but when I switch to 5.3 it doesn't. Does this sound familiar?
