Lexikjwtauthenticationbundle: Another Unable to find the controller for path "/login_check". The route is wrongly configured

[michaelrachlitz]

So obviously, there is a lot of issues already with this error message. Only a few has been addressed.

I feel I have been through all the issues now, and I have attempted many different configurations to see if I could get a working result, with no luck.

Error message

        - { path: ^/register, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }

Creating users with /register works fine. However, all users created through register returns the error message regarding a missing controller. However, that only occures if the username/password credentials is correct, if I type in a wrong password, it returns bad credentials as expected.

Could you provide your routes.yaml ? Also what version of symfony are you using? Do you have a github project that reproduces this problem? Is this during the dev environment?

[michaelrachlitz]

@kemicofa

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

api:
  path: /v1
  controller: App\Controller\AuthController::api

login:
  path: /login
  controller: App\Controller\AuthController::login

Done several new attempts though. At this moment, I am manually validating logins and I removed the /login_check. Manually creating tokens also.

Using Symfony 4.
Environment: Dev as well as prod.

I have the exact problem when trying to invoke request in Postman with wrong Body type (x-www-form-urlencoded vs raw)...does something like this from command line also producing the error ?

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://yourhost:yourport/api/login_check -d '{"username":"admin","password":"xxxxxxx"}'

[nzurita]

Same here, with Symfony 3.4

[chalasr]

You are probably not sending a valid JSON request. The Content-Type header must beapplication/json (not obvious using postman)

[chalasr]

Closing due to the lack of feedback.

[spmsupun]

@cbourgois thanks god, you saved me

[Monrocq]

Yep! The error changed in the new versions of Symfony.
It's not an Error 400 Bad Request anymore but 404 when the request is empty.
Be carrefull, some MOOC are not updated...
I have spent 1h on that ahah!

[alfupe]

In addition to configure the header as @chalasr says, send your credentials in JSON:

I just removed main part of the configuration, and that workes for me
` firewalls:
dev:
pattern: ^/(_(profiler|wdt)|css|images|js)/
security: false

main:

anonymous: lazy

provider: app_user_provider

    login:
        pattern:  ^/login
        stateless: true
        anonymous: true
        json_login:
            check_path: /login_check
            success_handler: lexik_jwt_authentication.handler.authentication_success
            failure_handler: lexik_jwt_authentication.handler.authentication_failure

    register:
        pattern:  ^/register
        stateless: true
        anonymous: true

    api:
        pattern:  ^/api
        stateless: true
        anonymous: false
        provider: app_user_provider
        guard:
            authenticators:
                - lexik_jwt_authentication.jwt_token_authenticator
        # activate different ways to authenticate
        # https://symfony.com/doc/current/security.html#firewalls-authentication

        # https://symfony.com/doc/current/security/impersonating_user.html`

[shamil8]

It worked for me using:

curl -k -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"username\":\"user", \"password\":\"user\"}" https://127.0.0.1:8000/api/login_check

[SekmSet]

I had the same error and I try to use the solutions given in this issue but no result. To resolve this I return an empty array, at the beginning the function did nothing, for the getRoles function of my Entity (I do not take into account the role management in my project) and I send a JSON type for my informations (username and password) - before I used the TEXT type and finally it's works :)

public function getRoles()
    {
        return [];
    }

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

You are a life saver. Why does it have to be so hard. Seriously, this needs to be documented. Wasted hours and hours on something that should not have taken some minutes!!!

@bamjad Pull requests are more than welcome to document such common troubles.
