Hello! I just cloned a brand new Umbraco Cloud project with Umbraco.Cloud.Cms 15.1.1 and Umbraco.Cms 15.2.1. When trying to run the project in Visual Studio I get the following error: Microsoft.Extensions.Options.OptionsValidationException: 'API key or secret not set in configuration.' I can't find any information about setting an api key in the documentation. I should be able to run my website immediately. Does anyone know why this error occurs?

You should be able to, this is not an error I've seen before, where do you see this error? Does

dotnet run

on the command line work? I've just created a new Cloud site yesterday and it worked locally as expected, so this is surprising!

I get the error when running

dotnet run

where do you see this error?

It's on app.BootUmbracoAsync(); https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1342431449936302132/1342438592009470044/message.txt?ex=67b9a2dd&is=67b8515d&hm=1b6853287b76ffdfe60641b6521ae13cf52f4e095383a82f00d8a9bb3792863b&

For example, this is what I see when I

dotnet run

Yes, it has worked for me before when I tried 2 months ago

I see, let me have a look at this trace

I also have the same error on my old instance suddenly (the one I crated 2 months ago on earlier versions). So I guess it could be some local issues on my machine

Do you have an Deploy section in your appsettings with an

ApiKey

configured? that's what it seems to be complaining about

In umbraco-cloud.json I have my three workspaces Development, Staging, Live with guids for each one. Also an Identity part with ClientId and ClientSecret

should look like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1342431449936302132/1342441191639220285/image.png?ex=67b9a549&is=67b853c9&hm=4c9a0487c6c74c66bbf2be7613119823081bcf9086c554d104bac220a1990dea&

Hmm, okay! So I should be able to see my Umbraco CI/CD api key there?

I didn't enable the CI/CD flow on my test project, so I think the ApiKey should "just" always be there.. not sure what it's used for but I assumed it is for Deploy as it is in

Deploy > Settings > ApiKey

Yes, I think you are right. Now I tried to add my key manually and it started to work. I guess something is odd in my setup. I will contact the support 😄 Thank you so much for your quick help. Didn't realize Umbraco had a discord until now

No worries. I think it's strange that you didn't get this added automatically.. and on your old project as well, sounds very strange!

My old project was actually myself removing the ApiKey to point to a new instance. I can see now that I had a key from the beginning. So it's only the new one that didn't get one from start.

ah okay, that's your own fault then haha! but very strange you didn't get it indeed.. anything to find in the git history for that file?
