Missing property 'token' on type 'AbstractCredentialsResponseElement'

StephenLHChan — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 16:50:54 GMT

Hey,

I tried to use credentialVaultClient to retrieve a token stored in the credentials vault. It seems like the property token is missing on the type AbstractCredentialsResponseElement. Also, I need to copy the response to get the token.

private getToken = () => { const resp = credentialVaultClient.getCredentialsDetails({ id: dynatraceConfig['API_TOKEN'][this.environmentId][this.env], }); const respCopy: any = { ...resp }; return respCopy.token; };

This is my package.json:

"dependencies": { "@dynatrace-sdk/app-environment": "^1.0.0", "@dynatrace-sdk/app-utils": "^0.2.2", "@dynatrace-sdk/client-classic-environment-v2": "^1.1.0", "@dynatrace-sdk/client-query": "1.2.0", "@dynatrace-sdk/error-handlers": "1.1.0", "@dynatrace-sdk/navigation": "1.0.0", "@dynatrace-sdk/user-preferences": "1.0.0", "@dynatrace/strato-components-preview": "0.97.1", "@hookform/resolvers": "^3.1.1", "joi": "^17.9.2", "react": "^17.0.0", "react-dom": "^17.0.0", "react-hook-form": "^7.45.1", "react-router-dom": "^6.4.1" }

Please advise. Thanks.

Hi @StephenLHChan, credentialVaultClient.getCredentialsDetails is an asynchronous function, which means it returns a Promise. To properly handle this, you should use async/await, something like this should work:

import { CredentialsDetailsTokenResponseElement, credentialVaultClient, } from "@dynatrace-sdk/client-classic-environment-v2"; //... private async getToken = () => { const resp = await credentialVaultClient.getCredentialsDetails({ id: dynatraceConfig['API_TOKEN'][this.environmentId][this.env], }) as CredentialsDetailsTokenResponseElement; return resp.token; };

Notice the keywords async in the function declaration and await right before the call to the credentials vault. Besides that, notice that I added a type assertion as CredentialsDetailsTokenResponseElement, which allows you to properly access resp.token. The reason for this is that depending on the type of the credential, the response will be of a concrete type or another (instead of just AbstractCredentialsResponseElement), containing different sets of fields. You can see all the different types in the SDK reference in the Dynatrace Developer portal.

We still experience the same issue, the token is always returning undefined, please find enclose code and results, I appreciate your support to resolve this issue:

CODE:

const response = await credentialVaultClient.getCredentials

(

{

id: "CREDENTIALS_VAULT-1485306F4C9844D0"

}

) as CredentialsDetailsTokenResponseElement;

console.log("token = ", response.token);

console.log("summary= ",response.credentialUsageSummary);

console.log("description= ",response.description);

console.log("externalVault = ",response.externalVault);

console.log("id = ",response.id);

console.log("name = ", response.name);

console.log("owner=",response.owner);

console.log("ownerAccessOnly = ", response.ownerAccessOnly);

console.log("scope = ",response.scope);

console.log("type = ", response.type);

console.log(Object.keys(response));

console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));

RESULTS:

token = undefined

summary= []

description= Rotating token

externalVault = null

id = CREDENTIALS_VAULT-1485306F4C9844D0

name = [t-d] DT-A Interface Rotating Token

owner= mc@me.com

ownerAccessOnly = false

scope = APP_ENGINE

type = TOKEN
