Unable to login after updating: [Error] Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'uriString')

ddelamo · April 1, 2023, 4:22pm

Hi, I’ve updated this morning my instance of Bitwarden and since then I’m unable to log in the application, I only see this error in the Api log:

I reviewed my global.override.env file and everything seems correct, I checked with that page Configure Environment Variables | Bitwarden Help Center that I have all the required configuration informed and don’t know where else to look at

Sounds like you’re likely running the BW Unified edition which is in beta. I suggest providing them with an official report since they’re likely to be interested in it.

Bitwarden unified self-host Issues

# Bitwarden unified community beta We recently announced a beta offering of the… Bitwarden unified self-host deployment option, a lighter and flexible method for self-hosting Bitwarden. You can read more about the offering here: https://bitwarden.com/help/install-and-deploy-unified-beta/. Warning: This is a beta release, which means that this deployment option may be unstable and have issues. If you manage a Bitwarden organization vault, we recommend using the officially-supported, standard deployment option. With Bitwarden unified, you can now self-host with 2 new database options, Postgres and MySQL. This was achieved by using Entity Framework Core providers with a new written Repository layer to support EF Core [which can be found here](https://github.com/bitwarden/server/tree/master/src/Infrastructure.EntityFramework). The team has done initial QA but the offering is still unstable at this time. If you are using one of these database options, please report any issues you discover. We will update this PR as new issues are discovered. Before reporting an issue, please review the below list to ensure it is not already known. New issues should be reporting using the [Bitwarden unified issue template](https://github.com/bitwarden/server/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug%2Cbw-unified-deploy&template=bw-unified.yml). ## Known Issues - [x] #2481 - [x] #2483 - [x] #2008 - [x] #2489 - [x] #2494 - [ ] #2500 - [x] #2506 - [x] #2516 - [x] #2527 - [x] #2529 - [ ] #2530 - [ ] #2531 - [x] #2532 - [x] #2533 - [x] #2535 - [x] #2536 - [ ] #2545 - [x] #2549 - [x] #2552 - [x] #2553 - [x] #2556 - [x] #2557 - [ ] #2561 - [x] #2565 - [x] #2567 - [x] #2584 - [x] #2595 - [x] #2598 - [x] #2612 - [x] #2614 - [x] #2615 - [ ] #2624 - [x] #2647 - [ ] #2718 - [ ] #2721 - [ ] #2744 - [x] #2750 - [x] #2756 - [ ] #2784 - [ ] #2788 ## Helping If you want to help fix these issues, we have [written documentation](https://contributing.bitwarden.com/getting-started/server/ef/) for getting set up to develop Bitwarden against these new database options. Before developing, we recommend reading the [Entity Framework Core documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/). We will also be requiring tests for any changes to the EF Repository layer because even though a query compiles and may even work against MySQL that is not a guarantee that it will work against Postgres. An example of that happening is #2459 where Postgres does not support using `Min` on boolean values while MySQL does. We also want to make sure that permissions work the same across all database options.

I don’t know what’s this BW Unified is, I installed BW two years ago using this guide Install and Deploy - Linux | Bitwarden Help Center and only updated it using the script.

Thanks for your kind answer

jtr · April 1, 2023, 9:36pm

Gotcha. My bad. Your installation sounds like Standard.

In that case, any idea what version you were running previously (or at the very least how it had been since being last updated)?

Also there are a couple different ways to update. Can you confirm which of these you followed to update things:

ddelamo · April 1, 2023, 11:55pm

Sorry, I have no idea which version I had before update

I used the first method, running the updateself and update commands

ddelamo · April 2, 2023, 12:37am

Hi again, looking at logs I noticed that the error was related with the push notifications, as I´m not really using it I disabled it from the config.yml and run the rebuild, now the error is in the /identity/token endpoint and the log is this:

By the way, on the global.override.env file I have the variable globalSettings__installation__id filled with a value

Hi @ddelamo, welcome to community!

If for this kind of issue, I’d recommend you reach out to our Support Team directly for further assistance. They may be able to provide better recommendations for next steps.

ddelamo · April 7, 2023, 4:46pm

Hi sj-bitwarden, unfortunately I don’t have a premium account, so I suppose I cannot open a ticket to the Support Team, if nothing else I can do I will try to extract my passwords from Bitwarden database and find another way to continue

grb · April 7, 2023, 6:49pm

Support is still available to users of the Free plan, but Premium customers get priority support, so you may have to wait a little longer.

ddelamo · April 8, 2023, 4:51am

Hey, thank you very much for the clarification, I sent them a ticket hope they can help me

Anthracite · June 26, 2023, 4:24pm

I have exactly the same error here.

What was your final solution, how did you make your installation work again?

Anthracite · August 26, 2023, 9:49pm

Finally I found out the reason for this:
in config.yml I had the line
generate_compose_config: false
which should stop bitwarden to modify docker/docker-compose.yml after each update (and start a useless and resource consuming mssql container). I didn’t know about docker-compose.override.yml
at that time.

But that parameter also stopped updates working correctly.

After I changed
generate_compose_config: true
and did an update of Bitwarden, the problem is solved and Bitwarden is working again.
