Sorry for the long post ahead, I’ve been trying to work around this issue for a while now, and I’m sharing the current issue with as much information to hopefully get it fixed.
-
Objective: Lauch the server locally and start experimenting with frontend-2 feature additions. I’m currently stuck at the very first step, which is creating, authenticating, and signing into an account.
-
Build/launch:
I’m currently following these steps to build and launch this repo:
cd speckle-servercorepack enableyarnyarn buildyarn dev:docker:upcp packages/server/.env.example packages/server/.envcp packages/server/.env.test-example packages/server/.env.testcp packages/frontend-2/.env.example packages/frontend-2/.envcp packages/dui3/.env.example packages/dui3/.env#(NOTE THIS DOESN’T WORK in 2.24.2 the .env.example is not created in dui3)yarn dev"
- Issue: I suspect the main issue here stems from the authentication process. However there are three main issues I’m having here:
-
Main problem: Upon going through the signup process there is a popup UI that states “Registration failed: Failed to fetch,” and in network console the request fails as CORS Error
- Network TAB:
- The network Request looks like:
fetch("http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/local/register?challenge=pk3vssdahc", {
"headers": {
"accept": "*/*",
"accept-language": "en-US,en;q=0.9",
"content-type": "application/json",
"sec-ch-ua": "\"Not A(Brand\";v=\"8\", \"Chromium\";v=\"132\", \"Google Chrome\";v=\"132\"",
"sec-ch-ua-mobile": "?0",
"sec-ch-ua-platform": "\"Windows\"",
"sec-fetch-dest": "empty",
"sec-fetch-mode": "cors",
"sec-fetch-site": "cross-site",
"Referer": "http://localhost:8081/",
"Referrer-Policy": "strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
},
"body": "{\"email\":\"test@test5.com\",\"name\":\"testy\",\"password\":\"Password123\"}",
"method": "POST"
});
- Follow the request above CORS Error request looks like:
fetch("http://127.0.0.1:8081/?access_code=319163c9f255ab82742bee71540c04c4a1862d9bfb®ister=true", {
"headers": {
"Referer": "http://localhost:8081/",
"Referrer-Policy": "strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
},
"body": null,
"method": "GET"
});
Note: this process generates a MailDev authentication email at “http://localhost:1080/” for the signup request.
Looking at the progress user database in the container, it looks like:
*Command: docker exec web-app-postgres-1 psql -U speckle -d speckle -c "SELECT id, email, name, verified FROM users;"
id | email | name | verified
------------+-------------------------+---------+----------
0123456789 | speckle@speckle.systems | speckle | t
05af658709 | test@test2.com | testy | f
496e18e488 | test@test5.com | testy | f
- Authentication problem:
As a sanity check, I manually set the verified field in this database to true for all users:
id | email | name | verified
------------+-------------------------+---------+----------
0123456789 | speckle@speckle.systems | speckle | t
05af658709 | test@test2.com | testy | t
496e18e488 | test@test5.com | testy | t
Now, when attempting to log in I get the following errors in the Networking tab:
Log in Request:
fetch("http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/local/login?challenge=pk3vssdahc", {

});

"Referrer-Policy": "strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
},

});
- Minor Problem: http://localhost:3000/authn/register seems to have a problem where pressing sign up triggers nothing. The button seems like its grayed out blue and status never changes. http://localhost:8081/authn/register, on the other hand, works without generating any issues.
Follow-up Question:
Do you guys use local builds to develop new speckle-server versions? If so is there anything different about the build process I am missing? Also if use an alternetive approch to developing new features do you mind sharing that?
In case it’s relevant Build info:
I’m running Windows 11 with WSL2 on the Ubuntu 22.04 image. Both Docker and Docker Compose are installed in the Ubuntu environment, regardless of whether it is used on Windows. I’ve installed Mise and have installed Node.js v22.14.0 to use here.
Docker containers are running with no errors:
