Unable to add Oauth2 client

ℹ️ Support
1

Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 25.0.1
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Debian 11
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Apache 2.4.54
PHP version (eg, 7.4): 8.1.12

The issue you are facing: When I attempt to configure an oauth2 client nothing happens after pressing the add button. I have tried multiple browsers and devices. No error messages are printed in any logs or on screen. Can oauth clients be added via occ commands?

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Go to admin > security
  2. Under OAuth 2.0 clients / add client enter name and IRL then click add

Other buttons in my nextcloud installation are not working either. I have enabled developer console in my web browser and this has come up with some errors but I dont know how helpful they might be.

The security page on load only has:

vue.runtime.esm.js:3019 TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0')

If I try to add a file or directory using the plus button in the files app I get:

I seem to be having a similar problem. I created a new installation of 25.0.0 at a new site to specifically test OAuth2 and I wasn’t able to create any. I ended up ditching that installation and installing 24.0.6. Now I upgraded my primary installation to 25.0.1 and the OAuth2 interface in the web admin settings does not seem to be working. I don’t really need it for this installation, but in the past I have been able to create entries there.

I saw someone also complain about the new user button. I noticed the new user button caused a very delayed reaction, but it did eventually allow me to create a new user.

I’m somewhat new to Nextcloud, so hoping these are just growing pains that will be fixed in upcoming refreshes.

Hi,

It appears this is a problem only in 25 major release series. A bug has been opened at [Bug]: can't add oauth2 client · Issue #35045 · nextcloud/server · GitHub
