Issue with Getting Started guide, invalid client

raymondcamden

Following the Getting Started guide, https://fusionauth.io/docs/get-started, I can startup the local FA server via docker and confirm it's running by logging in. I run the Node.js app and it starts up fine too, but hitting login gives me:

{
  "error" : "invalid_client",
  "error_description" : "client_id: e9fdb985-9173-4e01-9d73-ac2d60d1dc8e is not valid.",
  "error_reason" : "invalid_client_id"
}

That seems to imply the default code isn't right? I can see the value set in index.mts just fine, but I don't see it as an application in the FA admin (assuming I'm looking at the right place).

Is there a step I missed?

@raymondcamden Are you using the Quickstart app? If so, you need to use the Docker instance specified in the app. If you just spin up a brand new instance of FusionAuth, the sample app does not exists and that is likely why you are getting the error message. Try using the Docker instance in the Quickstart and you should be fine. Let me know how it goes.

@mark-robustelli As far as I know, I used the right Docker instance - followed the directions here -> https://fusionauth.io/docs/get-started/start-here/step-1. Will try again and see if helps, thanks!

@mark-robustelli ok, thank you magic of 'just try again' - it seems to be working just fine now. thanks

@raymondcamden Ha, gald you got it working. Generally, the quickstarts come with a docker file that you can just run docker compose against and it will get you the instance. That instance would be configured to work with the sample code for that quickstart. The application and uses would be created and things like that. If you have it working the way you want, awesome. If you run into other issues, please just let us know.
