🪩 Troubleshooting

⚠️ Keycloak Client Secret Issue

If you see warnings about The "kLpQ" variable is not set or get unauthorized_client errors:

The Keycloak client secret contains a $ character that needs proper escaping:

# WRONG - Single $ is interpreted as variable
KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET=Z#v7M&2rTx9$kLpQ

# CORRECT - Use $$ to escape the $ character in .env files
KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET=Z#v7M&2rTx9$$kLpQ

Note: The $$ in .env will be interpreted as a single $ when passed to containers.

After updating .env, restart containers:

make restart

If you still get unauthorized_client errors, the Keycloak client may need to be configured for service accounts:

1. Access Keycloak Admin: http://localhost:8080 (admin/admin)
2. Go to MyInfra realm → Clients → laravel-api
3. Enable "Service accounts roles" under Settings
4. Save the client configuration

Or run the testing seeder without Keycloak by modifying the seeder to skip Keycloak user creation.

❌ Nuxt: Permission denied

Fix in Dockerfile:

RUN chmod +x node_modules/.bin/nuxt

Or in docker-compose.yml:

command: ["sh", "-c", "chmod +x node_modules/.bin/nuxt && npm run dev"]
