I must have done something that messed the SpeckleServer up, so it didn't accept some types of request.
The first time, I installed SpeckleServer and setup smtp info. Unfortunately, smtp info was incorrect (I used password instead of app-password for gmail account), so the first register user (also admin user) never received verification email. I thought maybe non-verified user was not allow to create Senders, and I couldn't find resend verification email endpoint in SpeckleServer, so I fixed smtp info and registered another user, login to first user and set 2nd user Admin.
The second time, I removed SpeckleServer folder WITHOUT dropping mongodb database. My efforts weren't succeeded, with all the images above.
The third time, I stop SpeckleServer, drop mongodb database, npm install and run again. Now I'm able to create sender and send data to SpeckleServer.
Thank you very much for your help!

Ducking around, I found this issue: Navigating to URL with self-signed certificate shows empty screen
I searched SpeckleUi and found this line:
https://github.com/speckleworks/SpeckleUi/blob/05aa7d2480cac21ae56166a81112c6c55158c449/SpeckleUiBase/SpeckleUiWindow.xaml.cs#L53
If SpeckleRevit is using CefSharp < v75.1.141, I think we could add settings.IgnoreCertificateErrors = true;
If SpeckleRevit is using CefSharp >= v75.1.141, there's a proposal here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/45077988
Please tell me how could I rebuild SpeckleRevit and test these proposals.
Thanks.

Speckle Revit is a little PITA when it comes to building and testing. For reference, it's using CefSharp < 75, as Revit comes by default with version 57, so we can't force a newer version from the client side. Make sure that cefsharp 57 is being used! Otherwise things break.
Building and testing it: you'll need to replace the SpeckleUIBase nuget reference in the SpeckleRevit solution with a local clone of SpeckleUi, which you can modify and test.
There's also a quite a few flags that cef can be initialised with, not sure if this will be a better solution - probably not.

I'll make a thread on the forum.
Actually I changed secret in .env without thinking it would be related to database. So in that old situation, does registering another new user work? I wonder how I could still login using the web ui, but not via api, I thought they use the same endpoint.
Theoretically yes. Checking the server code, I was wrong: password salting is handled by bcrypt, as it should be. Only JWT tokens for the api are affected.
Logging in the admin works as you get a fresh api token each time. The client side are not regenerated on logins, so removing then adding the account again would have not worked...

Hello @htlcnn , i think this might be related to speckleworks/SpeckleUi#7 - is your local server https?
from specklerevitreboot.
@didimitrie no, my server is not https. Is https required?
from specklerevitreboot.
I'm afraid so - we will try to remove this limitation, or at least allow for localhost:xxxx urls.
from specklerevitreboot.
Thanks. I'll add https to my server using Let's encrypt self-signed certificate.
from specklerevitreboot.
@didimitrie I've added a self-signed certificate to my SpeckleServer. This time SpeckleRevit fails to find the server at the first step. It says There seems to be no speckle server there

Sometimes the debouncer that sends the test request is out of sync, and causes the button to be disabled. If you add a space, or add /api
does it work?
If not, the response seems correct, and it probably means there's a problem with self signed certs - I would debug that by capturing the requests with fiddler and seeing if any problems are evident there...
from specklerevitreboot.
Adding a space or /api
doesn't work. I'll try using fiddler. Thanks for the hint.
from specklerevitreboot.
This is the first time I used fiddler. SpeckleRevit still fails until I enable HTTPS debugging in fiddle and click Yes
in a popup that seems to ask about accepting self-signed certificate (sorry for my bad glance). Now I'm able to add my speckle server. But I still can not add new Sender. It still says Could not access to that server
.
One thing I notice is that the redirect URL from SpeckleRevit is different from SpeckleAdmin (web app).
For SpeckleRevit, redirect URL is always https://localhost:5050
. That doesn't exist in my .env
.
For SpeckleAdmin, redirect URL is https://10.15.0.30/#/signin/callback
from specklerevitreboot.
https://localhost:5050
Are you sure it's https? It should be http. That's where the sign in popup redirects to with the api token when using the account manager - it should be different than the web ui.
Can you post a screenshot of the errors/logs form the console from the revit plugin? To open it click on the ck
in the title; it should launch chromium's dev tools. I still believe this is to do with the self signed cert not working properly, and thus requests getting blocked...
from specklerevitreboot.
Yes it was http://localhost:5050
.
Here's the screenshot from console when I'm not logged in:
Screenshot after I clicked CREATE SENDER:
Also a window pops up after I logged in:
from specklerevitreboot.
This is fiddle's popup. SpeckleRevit's Add New Server button lights up only after I click Yes.
from specklerevitreboot.
Simplest solution to get stuff going: deploy the server on DigitalOcean on a $5/month VM, you'll get some free credit when you start to keep it going for 5 months i think :)
Otherwise, more complicated answer: seems like there might be something else hogging port 5050
: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29714055/system-net-httplistenerexception-failed-to-listen-on-prefix-http-localhost8
based on the last error...
from specklerevitreboot.
Another quick question (should've asked first!): does it work with the public test server? If so, then I can most definitively point the finger at the self signed SSL cert.
I'll close the issue for now, as it's not a problem with the revit client per se, but let's keep talking here, and maybe we figure your config out...
from specklerevitreboot.
Yes, choosing hestia works.
I have DO instances up and running some production apps. I just want to test on my VM first, and also see if sending data and loading viewer would be faster than using hestia server.
The image saying about port 5050 conflict was my mistake. I added the same server after it was added successfully into SpeckleRevit. I deleted all servers and added it again (still had to keep fiddler on and accept certificate manually).
This is my overall Server config:
- nginx as reverse proxy, with self-signed cert. conf file:

@didimitrie I tried rebuilding SpeckleUi after adding settings.IgnoreCertificateErrors = true;
to SpeckleUiWindow. SpeckleUiTester still Could not access the server. Also, rebuilt SpeckleRevit.dll didn't work, showing a blank page instead. The pain began.
I tried another method and managed to install Let's Encrypt certificate to my server. I created a subdomain and point it (A record) to my Virtual machine's VPN IP (Let's Encrypt cert was issued to my local server successfully using DNS challenge):
But SpeckleRevit still Could not access that server. Chrome-devtools screenshot:
from specklerevitreboot.
It seems that JWT Authorization failed after successful login. I tried to use Postman to send GET request to /api/streams
with my token, also got 401. How could I test locally on SpeckleServer's cli?
from specklerevitreboot.
Using something like Postman or Insomnia. There's some instructions here: https://speckle.systems/docs/developers/api-specs
from specklerevitreboot.
I used Postman and used Speckle OpenApi Specs. I edited baseUrl and added my token to Header (key: Authorization, value: JWT... - my token I got from SpeckleAdmin).
Response was Unauthorized
from specklerevitreboot.
No worries @htlcnn! I didn't do much, was more acting like a sounding board. Happy things worked out :)
As a suggestion as to what potentially went wrong when redeploying the speckle server and then getting 401
s with existing tokens (ie, not dropping the db): the session secret probably changed (it's in the .env file). That's used to salt passwords and sign the JWT tokens, and if it changes, basically all auth fails!
For the future/if you have time: it would be great to share or summarise your issue on the forum as it's more visible there, and more people can benefit :)
from specklerevitreboot.
I'll make a thread on the forum.
Actually I changed secret in .env without thinking it would be related to database. So in that old situation, does registering another new user work? I wonder how I could still login using the web ui, but not via api, I thought they use the same endpoint.
