Lexikjwtauthenticationbundle: Unable to find _controller when accessing /login_check

[adrienlefebvre92]

Hello,

I followed the Sf4 sandbox to install JWT Auth, but still I have this response :

2019-01-03T18:39:27+01:00 [info] Matched route "login_check".
2019-01-03T18:39:27+01:00 [info] Populated the TokenStorage with an anonymous Token.
2019-01-03T18:39:27+01:00 [warning] Unable to look for the controller as the "_controller" parameter is missing.
2019-01-03T18:39:27+01:00 [critical] Uncaught Exception: Unable to find the controller for path "/login_check". The route is wrongly configured.
When I try this command :

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8000/login_check -d '{"email":"[email protected]","password":"test"}'

Here is my routes.yaml :

index:
    path: /
    controller: App\Controller\DefaultController::index

register:
    path: /register
    controller: App\Controller\DefaultController::register
    methods: POST

api:
    path: /api
    controller: App\Controller\DefaultController::api

login_check:
    path:     /login_check
    methods:  [POST]

And here is my security.yaml :

security:
    encoders:
        App\Entity\User:
            algorithm: bcrypt
            cost: 12

        app_user_provider:
            entity:

                property: email
    firewalls:

        main:
            anonymous: true

                failure_handler:          lexik_jwt_authentication.handler.authentication_failure
                username_path: email

        api:
            pattern:   ^/
            stateless: true
            guard:
                authenticators:
                    - lexik_jwt_authentication.jwt_token_authenticator

    # Easy way to control access for large sections of your site
    # Note: Only the *first* access control that matches will be used
    access_control:
        # - { path: ^/admin, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
        # - { path: ^/profile, roles: ROLE_USER }

I am using PHP7.2 and Symfony 4.2.
Does someone know how to correct this error ?

Thanks,

Adrien

I can confirm same issue on php 7.2 symfony 4.2.
Still trying to figure this out.
My config:

security:
    encoders:
        App\Entity\User: bcrypt
    providers:
        database:
            entity:
                class: App\Entity\User
                property: username
    firewalls:
        dev:
            pattern: ^/(_(profiler|wdt)|css|images|js)/
            security: false
        main:
            anonymous: true
        api:
            pattern: ^/api
            stateless: true
            anonymous: true
            json_login:
                check_path: /api/login_check
                success_handler: lexik_jwt_authentication.handler.authentication_success
                failure_handler: lexik_jwt_authentication.handler.authentication_failure
            guard:
                authenticators:
                    - lexik_jwt_authentication.jwt_token_authenticator

    access_control:
        - { path: ^/api/login, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/api,       roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY }

@adrienlefebvre92 try removing section:

main:
            anonymous: true

this was the problem in my case

[kemicofa]

@adrienlefebvre92 if you're using symfony serve then ensure you're using https

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://localhost:8000/login_check -d '{"email":"[email protected]","password":"test"}' -vvv -k

If that doesn't work add the options -vvv -k to follow redirections.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://localhost:8000/login_check -d '{"email":"[email protected]","password":"test"}' -vvv -k

Alternatively, you can run symfony server in http:
symfony serve --allow-http=true

[kemicofa]

While I'm not getting the error via the curl request, I am getting a similar error when running tests as mentioned in #610

Here is my test.log

[2019-01-29 21:30:24] request.INFO: Matched route "api_admin_login". {"route":"api_admin_login","route_parameters":{"_route":"api_admin_login"},"request_uri":"http://localhost/api/admin/login_check","method":"POST"} []
[2019-01-29 21:30:24] security.INFO: Populated the TokenStorage with an anonymous Token. [] []
[2019-01-29 21:30:24] request.WARNING: Unable to look for the controller as the "_controller" parameter is missing. [] []

Though when it matches the route, "request_uri":"http://localhost/api/admin/login_check" looks fishy.

Got around it by moving the 'main' block after all other firewalls.
main:
anonymous: true

[PaulCombal]

I had the same issue at some point but remember fixing it. I simply forgot the HTTP header content-type: application/json in the request headers.

[eissasoubhi]

You need to make sure that you are sending a POST request with HEADER 'content-type': 'application/json' and the data must be in JSON

Closing as explained. Please open a PR if you think you can improve the documentation.

[antond1990]

I have the same issue and if I remove the part anonymous: true I get an 502 Bad Gateway error.

Try to change order of your firewalls, example :
1 - dev
2 - login
3 - api
4 - main
