Strapi Medusa Integration seems to be not working as expected.
After following the recently updated docs:

https://docs.medusajs.com/add-plugins/strapi/

When creating a product in Medusa it is expected the product to be created in Strapi.
The product is not created in the Strapi side.

This messages appear in the console:

Can you show the logs on the Strapi server after you create a product? Also, can you share your environment variables and Medusa plugin configurations (without the passwords of course)

surreal pelican Sep 26, 2022, 6:59 PM

#

@sonic current REDIS service is active

📎 ENV_VARIABLES.txt 📎 LOGS_AFTER_PRODUCT_CREATION.txt

#

📎 medusa-config.js

sonic current Sep 26, 2022, 7:07 PM

#

I can see you didn’t set the STRAPI_PROTOCOL environment variable to http which, as indicated in the docs, should be set if you are working with a local strapi server. Can you try setting it?

surreal pelican Sep 26, 2022, 7:14 PM

#

Same outcome:

JWT_SECRET=something
COOKIE_SECRET=something
STRIPE_API_KEY=
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=
STRAPI_USER=medusa_user
STRAPI_PASSWORD=stInterno#1
STRAPI_PROTOCOL=http

sonic current Sep 26, 2022, 7:14 PM

#

Can you show me the logs on the strapi server when you add a product (not the medusa server)?

surreal pelican Sep 26, 2022, 7:43 PM

#

checking...

#

no line gets written other than:
[2022-09-26 15:45:13.891] http: HEAD /_health (1 ms) 204

#

im creating the products by using the medusa admin interface

sonic current Sep 26, 2022, 7:48 PM

#

Just to check: when you added the protocol environment variable you also added it in medusa-config.js right? And you also restarted the server afterwards?

surreal pelican Sep 26, 2022, 7:49 PM

#

yes to all of the above

#

  `medusa-fulfillment-manual`,
  `medusa-payment-manual`,
  // Uncomment to add Stripe support.
  // You can create a Stripe account via: https://stripe.com
  // {
  //   resolve: `medusa-payment-stripe`,
  //   options: {
  //     api_key: STRIPE_API_KEY,
  //     webhook_secret: STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
  //   },
  // }, 
  {
    resolve: `medusa-plugin-strapi`,
    options: {
      strapi_medusa_user: process.env.STRAPI_USER,
      strapi_medusa_password: process.env.STRAPI_PASSWORD,
      // strapi_url: process.env.STRAPI_URL, //optional
      // strapi_port: process.env.STRAPI_PORT, //optional
      strapi_protocol: process.env.STRAPI_PROTOCOL //optional
    }
  }   
];```

#

looking like this right now

sonic current Sep 26, 2022, 7:57 PM

#

Can you try sending a POST request to your strapi server on the endpont /api/auth/local with a JSON body that has identifier property set to the username and a password property set to the password? Looking at your Medusa logs it seems like there’s an issue with logging into Strapi or with the role of the user

#

If you send a POST request like I mentioned and you get no errors then please check that the user you’re using has the Authenticated role and that this role has permissions to create products

surreal pelican Sep 26, 2022, 8:01 PM

#

ok i will try that. right now the user is "medusa_user" and it has the Authenticated role.

#

i've added permissions for products, products variants on that role.

sonic current Sep 26, 2022, 8:04 PM

#

Can you also try to show me the strapi logs once you start the Medusa server until adding the product?

surreal pelican Sep 26, 2022, 8:19 PM

Cool those are the Medusa server logs, please send me the strapi logs as well

#

not much happens after adding products in that log

sonic current Sep 26, 2022, 8:24 PM

#

It’s strange since it seems like Medusa isn’t receiving the expected response from Strapi on initialization. Can you send what versions are you using of Medusa and the Strapi plugin?

surreal pelican Sep 26, 2022, 8:43 PM

#

how can i confirm that?

#

i just followed the docs

i believe i was able to sync two ways finally.

sonic current Sep 26, 2022, 9:01 PM

#

You can check the versions using the commands npm list @medusajs/medusa and npm list medusa-plugin-strapi

sonic current Sep 26, 2022, 9:01 PM

#

surreal pelican i believe i was able to sync two ways finally.

Can you post how if you did

surreal pelican Sep 26, 2022, 9:18 PM

#

i have restarted things from zero after confirming every piece.
once i've made sure the 'http' as protocol since testing locally, right permissions are set for the user (Product, Product-Variant) in the Authenticated role and restarted both medusa-server and strapi-medusa things started to work as expected

#

thanks a lot for helping out in an expedite way, really appreciate it.

sonic current Sep 27, 2022, 6:00 AM

#

Glad it worked out!

is that ok that some of the relations in strapi are broken when I'm using template?

#

@sonic current

sonic current Sep 27, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

@spiral canopy not really sure. This is a community plugin/template, we just fixed it up to make sure it works for v4 of Strapi

maybe someone already fixed this issue with relations?

make sure you are adding permissions to those entities in the role asssigned to the strapi user handling the integration.

#

i would have preferred a separate role and not Authenticated role. but i haven't tested like that yet.

#

if the plugin / template for the integration expects the "Authenticated" hard coded that might not work, but im not sure.

I have this broken relations right after creating project from the template 🤷‍♂️ so don't thiks that it's related to the permission

@surreal pelican looks like strapi-medusa-template has schema from v3 which is not working as expected with v4 have you solved it? Or you are using strapi just for extra pages etc.?

at the top of the thread the link takes you to the updated post about strapi medusa.
make sure you are creating the project with:

unrelated question, may I ask why would you add products to stripe too, when it can generate dynamically chcekouts? Sorry, I'm new here

Hi @sonic current and @surreal pelican ! I just followed your conversation and it helped me a lot, but I got an unexpected error when creating the product on the admin website. It looks like the event is well triggered but the obj is not created on the strapi site with the below error.

This is Strapi log error:

[2023-03-21 19:45:42.482] http: GET /api/products (57 ms) 200
[2023-03-21 19:45:42.772] error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'response')

And this is the log from the Medusa server:

warn:    An error occurred while processing product.created: Error: Error while trying to create entry in strapi - products

crimson stirrup Mar 21, 2023, 7:08 PM

Also, I used this template for my strapi Kyle772/strapi-medusa-template... maybe that is where the error comes from? If unsured, I will try with the template shahednasser/strapi-medusa-template
