Generator-jhipster: import-jdl does not respect skipUserManagement cli params or jdl settings

Created on 1 Sep 2020  ·  18Comments  ·  Source: jhipster/generator-jhipster
Overview of the issue

The command stacktrace states that skipUserManagement can be used to enable relationships between a custom defined User entity and Company entity, however
JHipster jdl/import-jdl does not accept any form of the setting: neither the command line argument --skip-user-management, nor the alternative specifying // skip-user-management as first line of JDL file work.

According JHipster documentation --skip-user-management should be able to disable automatic generation of User and Authority entities so that those entities can be used in normal entity relationships.

I attempted to turn on debug logging level

DEBUG=generator-jhipster:* LOG_LEVEL=debug node --inspect /usr/local/Cellar/jhipster/6.10.1/libexec/lib/node_modules/generator-jhipster/cli/cli.js import-jdl test.jdl --skip-user-management --ignore-application

The command runs, but it does not change logging level... if someone could tell me the correct syntax, I would be happy to investigate it further to see if I can determine where the breakdown occurs.

Motivation for or Use Case

For the project I'm working on, I use OIDC/OAuth2 to handle user authentication and identity management, we still need a User representation within our database for data-ownership.

We need to be able to update entities and regenerate classes as the project evolves, currently this bug blocks us from being able to do that.

Reproduce the error

jhipster jdl test.jdl --skip-user-management
test.jdl is attached in JHipster configuration section

Related issues

Issue was first opened against JHipster core jhipster/jhipster-core#476, but it seems more suitable to be here as it may not be a problem with JHipster only rather how the classes are generated.

Suggest a Fix

Skip User Management doesn't work through import jdl at all... Configuration is not being respected by lower level classes in generator-jhipster.

// skip-user-management

This simply doesn't exist. There's the skipUserManagement application option.

// skip-user-management

I see, so you're saying it's a JHipster IDE only option, but it's not actually used by import-jdl

This simply doesn't exist. There's the skipUserManagement application option.

import-jdl doesn't have a way to skipUserManagement by design then... well that sucks.

Since it's not implemented, then the error message is wrong. It should state that skipUserManagement is not available from import-jdl.

deftdawg picture deftdawg on 6 Sep 2020

@deftdawg I see some alternatives your problem:

  • You have removed application section on your jdl:
    jdl entity foo does not supports --skip-user-management. So it only work if you have a previous application with it enabled.
  • jhipster import-jdl file.jdl --skip-user-management should work if you have application section.
  • jdl does support 'skipUserManagement'
application { config { skipUserManagement } }

@mshima I tried app configuration flags before. Based on what you said this should work right? (I ran it both with and without --skip-user-management)

I am reopening since in my opinion there are some bugs here.

  • It's possible to create entity called User and relationships like the example using prompts, tried and generated, didn't tried to execute.
  • I've managed to bypass the error with some changes.
  • Company entity is generating, with user relationship correctly:
"relationships": [
    {
      "relationshipType": "one-to-many",
      "otherEntityName": "user",
      "otherEntityRelationshipName": "company",
      "relationshipName": "user"
    },
    {
      "relationshipType": "one-to-many",
      "otherEntityName": "user",
      "otherEntityRelationshipName": "company",
      "relationshipName": "user"
    }
  ],

At current state custom User entity is completely broken using jdl.
At least we should throw an error if entity User is found in the jdl.

It’s related to https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-core/pull/278 and https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/issues/10425

I have identified 3 cases that I think they are bugs:

  • User entity is ignored by jdl when skipUserManagement:
application {
    config {
        skipUserManagement true
    }
    entities *
}

entity User {
    name String required
}

and

application {
    config {
        skipUserManagement true
    }
    entities *
}

entity Company {
    name String required unique
}

entity User {
    name String required
}

relationship OneToMany {
    Company to User{company(name)}
}

This second example Company is generated with user relationship but User is missing.

  • jdl should throw when trying to override built-in User entity.
application {
    entities User
}

entity User {
    name String required
}
  • jdl should allow ManyToOne from user to another entity if skipUserManagement.
application {
    config {
        skipUserManagement true
    }
    entities *
}

entity Company {
    name String required unique
}

entity User {
    name String required
}

relationship ManyToOne {
    User to Company {user(name)}
}

@mshima I tried app configuration flags before. Based on what you said this should work right? (I ran it both with and without --skip-user-management)

@deftdawg I think a possible workaround is:

  • remove ManyToOne relationship, OneToMany would add a back reference anyway.
  • after importing, create User using prompt jhipster entity User.
application {
    config {
        skipUserManagement true
    }
    entities *
}

DEFAULT_MIN_LENGTH = 2
DEFAULT_MAX_LENGTH = 50

entity Company {
    name String required unique minlength(DEFAULT_MIN_LENGTH)
    abbreviation String required unique 
    config String required
    entities String required
    logo String
}

entity User { 
    name String required
    email String required pattern(/^[^@\s]+@[^@\s]+\.[^@\s]+$/) 
}

relationship OneToMany {
    Company to User{company(name)}
}

I failed to provide a patch to fix this. Current jdl implementation is a black-box to me.
So I will provide some findings here.

@MathieuAA should skipUserManagement be an unary option?
There are reference to it, but the definition is missing:
https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/blob/8a939555af2933247174b3c627d7409ac7327ee6/jdl/converters/json-to-jdl-option-converter.js#L22

There are some failures in tests:
https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/blob/a7a6d20266d1a1e05d724158b2ced1872ba9eabb/test/jdl/converters/json-to-jdl-option-converter.spec.js#L45
should be jdlObject = convertServerOptionsToJDL({ skipUserManagement: true });

https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/blob/a7a6d20266d1a1e05d724158b2ced1872ba9eabb/test/jdl/converters/json-to-jdl-option-converter.spec.js#L49
should be expect(jdlObject.getOptionsForName(SKIP_USER_MANAGEMENT)).not.to.be.empty;

Seems like a bad refactoring happened, my bad. It's an app option.
I'll fix it after I'm done with another issue

Thanks for the deep analysis @mshima!

Thanks for looking into this @MathieuAA
Thanks for the suggestion @mshima. I gave it a shot and here's what I found:

  • removing the ManyToOne back link did allow the JDL to parse and JHipster ran generating an application
  • No Company entity was generated (no .jhipster directory)
  • The .yo-rc.json has correct settings for skipUserManagement recorded, however no entities:
{
  "generator-jhipster": {
    "authenticationType": "jwt",
    "cacheProvider": "ehcache",
    "clientFramework": "angularX",
    "serverPort": "8080",
    "serviceDiscoveryType": false,
    "skipUserManagement": true,
    "baseName": "jhipster",
//...
  },
  "entities": []
}

Running jhipster entity User runs, but bombs out when attempting to create relationships to Company.

Have you added entities *?

@mshima dough, nope forgot that... rerunning now and Company has been detected. My bad.

  "entities": ["Company", "User"]

Looks like it worked! 🍻

Any updates @mshima?

mraible picture mraible on 8 Oct 2020

@mraible I created a PR to ignore jdl validation https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/pull/12439.
But it’s a workaround.
@MathieuAA was working to fix the jdl part.

mshima picture mshima on 8 Oct 2020

I expect to do a PR this WE. It's working, just needs some tests.

MathieuAA picture MathieuAA on 8 Oct 2020

Done.
