Yii::$app->getRequest()->getRawBody() returning empty

[marcelosantos89]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Trying to get a JSON Post from an API the getRawBody() returns an empty string. Using var_dump(file_get_contents('php://input')); in the frontend/web/index.php returns the string wanted.

Already tried to add this config/main.php

'request' => [
      'csrfParam' => '_csrf-frontend',
      'baseUrl' => '',
      'parsers' => [
        'application/json' => [
        'class' => \yii\web\JsonParser::class,
        'asArray' => true,
       ],
      ]
    ],

and this in the controller

/**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function beforeAction($action)
    {
        $this->enableCsrfValidation = false;
        if (parent::beforeAction($action)) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

What is the expected result?

{
"id": "1bbc14c3-8ca8-492c-887d-1ca86400e4fa",
"key": "Example Key",
"type": "capture",
"status": "success",
"messages": [
"Your request was successfully created"
],
"date": "2022-01-01 10:20:30"
}

API Behing used: https://api.test.easypay.pt/docs#tag/Notification/paths/~1your-generic-notification-endpoint/post

api.test.easypay.pt it's your site?

[marcelosantos89]

It's not my site it's the result i was expecting i'll update the main post with the result expected

[WinterSilence]

@marcelosantos89 it's server request i.e. request to your server. use yiisoft/yii2-httpclient to send external requests

[marcelosantos89]

it's a POST that API makes to my Yii2 application after I ask for some payment information (returning if the payment was successful or not) but i can't get the JSON payload in Yii2 using what was expected to have the info

[bizley]

Please update your Yii to the latest version first.

[marcelosantos89]

@bizley can't really do that. it's so far behind right now it breaks everything. I can try upgrading after this "emergency" is complete but cant do it right now

[WinterSilence]

@marcelosantos89 api redirect to your site or use webhook? i'm don't see any callbacks in api description

[marcelosantos89]

@WinterSilence it's a webhook. It sends the data of payment after the person has paid for an order.

[WinterSilence]

@marcelosantos89 Request::getBodyParams() too empty?

[marcelosantos89]

@WinterSilence yes it's also empty.

[marcelosantos89]

@bizley i tried to update my yii2 with this: composer require "yiisoft/yii2:~2.0.45" --update-with-all-dependencies

got this:

  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires yiisoft/yii2 ~2.0.45 -> satisfiable by yiisoft/yii2[2.0.45].
    - yiisoft/yii2 2.0.45 requires bower-asset/jquery 3.6.*@stable | 3.5.*@stable | 3.4.*@stable | 3.3.*@stable | 3.2.*@stable | 3.1.*@stable | 2.2.*@stable | 2.1.*@stable | 1.11.*@stable | 1.12.*@stable -> found bower-asset/jquery[2.2.4] in the lock file but not in remote repositories, make sure you avoid updating this package to keep the one from the lock file.
  Problem 2
    - facebook/graph-sdk is locked to version 5.5.0 and an update of this package was not requested.
    - facebook/graph-sdk 5.5.0 requires php ^5.4|^7.0 -> your php version (8.0.11) does not satisfy that requirement.
  Problem 3
    - yiisoft/yii2 2.0.45 requires bower-asset/jquery 3.6.*@stable | 3.5.*@stable | 3.4.*@stable | 3.3.*@stable | 3.2.*@stable | 3.1.*@stable | 2.2.*@stable | 2.1.*@stable | 1.11.*@stable | 1.12.*@stable -> found bower-asset/jquery[2.2.4] in the lock file but not in remote repositories, make sure you avoid updating this package to keep the one from the lock file.

composer update yiisoft/yii2 -W -o

[marcelosantos89]

@marcelosantos89 ups.. sorry, composer update -W -o

[marcelosantos89]

@WinterSilence i already did that one to 👍 the error continues Managed to fix it .. it was Yii debug bar

[marcelosantos89]

Please update your Yii to the latest version first.

updated the framework so it just works in this function still returning empty

[bizley]

The expected result is wrong if I'm not mistaken, you should see the response example from easypay, not a payload. ~I'm sorry if the next question sounds trivial but are you sure they are able to send anything to your app? You can see the payload in php://input because this is what you are sending to them, the other way around is different.~

[bizley]

Sorry, that was weird what I said :P The question is - is the response status 200? Maybe you don't get anything in response because of the wrong payload data or something.

[marcelosantos89]

@bizley I used the same code I used in a Laravel Project with payments with the same API and Easypay sends a POST to the specific route with that json payload i get it in Laravel trough file_get_content('php://input) but i see in Yii you can use Request::getBodyParams() or getRawBody() but neither has any content.

....

I think I figured it out ... I see a redirect because of the language. The webhook send info to /easypay/generic-info and it's redirecting to pt/easypay/generic-info and maybe it's losing the data there... i'm going to test this out on monday

[bizley]

@marcelosantos89 any news?

[marcelosantos89]

@bizley it was a redirect. Fixed on the URL Manager config and now I can get the info using getRawBody() function. Sorry for the late response and thank you all for the help provided.

[chegue2009]

Hello how to use data come from getRawBody() ? Because i just see after send request the data like a string "{\r\n \"data\": [\r\n 618,\r\n 606,\r\n 603,\r\n 597,\r\n 593,\r\n 586,\r\n 585,\r\n 581,\r\n 574,\r\n 554,\r\n 537,\r\n 534,\r\n 529,\r\n 528,\r\n 515,\r\n 511,\r\n 509,\r\n 497,\r\n 479,\r\n 482,\r\n 475,\r\n 473,\r\n 458,\r\n 447,\r\n ]\r\n}\r\n "

this is the Json i send : { "data": [ 618, 606, 603, 597, 593, 586, 585, 581, 574, 554, 537, 534, 529, 528, 515, 511, 509, 497, 479, 482, 475, 473, 458, 447, 446, 432, 428, 424, 346, 398 ] }

this option no work just send empty Yii::$app->request->post('data') but getRawBody() send string can i get a solution please. I want to get datas come from getRawBody()

@bizley it was a redirect. Fixed on the URL Manager config and now I can get the info using getRawBody() function. Sorry for the late response and thank you all for the help provided.

Can you explain in more detail what you mean?

[marcelosantos89]

@richnwa i have a package to handle languages and had to create a exception for that controller and method so it didn't try to put a language on the url. domain.com/controller/method was redirecting to domain.com/en/controller/method and i lost the getRawBody() content.
