Camunda 7.20 cockpit login screen not displayed due to an error in camunda-welcome-bootstrap.js

Camunda 7 Topics

Hello,

I’ve migrated my web service running an embedded Camunda process engine to:

  • Spring Boot 3.1.5
  • Camunda 7.20

The container is running in an AWS Fargate ECS behind an AWS Application Load Balancer. When I’ve previously migrated my environment to the AWS VPC, I had also troubles to get the initial login panel. I’ve added the following properties to the Spring Boot 2.X application:

  • Running behind an ALB → http locally, but https externally
    server.tomcat.use-relative-redirects: true

But now after the latest migration, the login screen is not coming and the following error is displayed in my Chrome console:

camunda-welcome-bootstrap.js?bust=7.20.0:2 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘customScripts’)
at camunda-welcome-bootstrap.js?bust=7.20.0:2:227742

at new Promise ()
at camunda-welcome-bootstrap.js?bust=7.20.0:2:228724
at camunda-welcome-bootstrap.js?bust=7.20.0:2:228888

What I can see is that this last displayed URL is not working:
https://(server)/ → https://(server)/camunda/app/welcome/default/

But I can get the login panel if I provide the following URL:
https://(server)/camunda/app/cockpit/default/#/login

How can I fix this redirection issue?

PS: After really clearing the cache when debugging my app, I have also the same error locally:
http://localhost:8860/camunda/app/welcome/default/

It may be related to the same javascript problems that stops form rendering in Tasklist, see Camunda Forms are not rendering in Tasklist · Issue #3885 · camunda/camunda-bpm-platform · GitHub .

For now there only option for me is to rollback to 7.19 until a fix is available (using Camunda CE, not EE).

My 2 cents

Thx
Not sure the 2 issues are related. After reading the issue report, I’ve tried the version 7.21.0-alpha1 locally: same behavior.

Hi @lugon,

Thank you for reporting this.
Could you please share with us a minimal project example that reproduces the issue.
This will speed up the analysis of the issue.

Yana,

Thx for the feedback.
I will try to provide you a sample project based on my app.

In my case simply rolling back to 7.19 (and Spring Boot 2.7.x) made the same forms work without other issues. Good luck!

Hi - I am getting this exact problem. Was there any resolution? Will going to 7.21 help?

Nope
Same error:
camunda-welcome-bootstrap.js?bust=7.21.0:2 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘customScripts’)
at camunda-welcome-bootstrap.js?bust=7.21.0:2:227539

Looks like the config cannot be imported properly. There was a change in the config file structure in 7.15: Update from 7.14 to 7.15 | docs.camunda.org

You need to export the config JS object now with an export default.

Thx
That was the fix.
