Tried accessing nonexisting field (context) on node type (User)

I am accessing connection.fetchUserProfile() from Connection<?> connection but it gives org.springframework.social.UncategorizedApiException: (#100) Tried accessing nonexisting field (context) on node type (User). This particular error never happen before until now.

maven :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.social</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-social-facebook</artifactId>
     <version>3.0.0.M3</version>
</dependency>

Any idea why is this happening?

I had the same issue and looked for a solution everywhere. Without any luck, I ended up writing a custom service that calls the Facebook Graph API and populates the UserProfile object.

Add a new FBService.java class to your project:

package net.attacomsian.services;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import org.springframework.boot.web.client.RestTemplateBuilder;
import org.springframework.http.*;
import org.springframework.social.connect.UserProfile;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate;

import java.util.Collections;

@Service
public class FBService {

    private final RestTemplate restTemplate;

    public FBService(RestTemplateBuilder restTemplateBuilder) {
        this.restTemplate = restTemplateBuilder.build();
    }

    public UserProfile getProfile(String id, String accessToken) {
        try {
            //params
            String params = "fields=id,name,email,first_name,last_name&access_token=" + accessToken;

            //build url
            String url = "https://graph.facebook.com/v3.2/" + id + "?" + params;

            //create headers
            HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
            headers.setAccept(Collections.singletonList(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON));

            // create request
            HttpEntity request = new HttpEntity(headers);

            //use rest template
            ResponseEntity<String> response = this.restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET, request, String.class);

            //check for status code
            if (response.getStatusCode().is2xxSuccessful()) {
                JsonNode root =  new ObjectMapper().readTree(response.getBody());

                // return a user profile object
                return new UserProfile(root.path("id").asText(), root.path("name").asText(), root.path("first_name").asText(),
                        root.path("last_name").asText(), root.path("email").asText(), null);
            }
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }

        return null;
    }
}

v3.2 is the Graph API version. Replace it with your own. Now inject this service to your controller and instead of calling:

UserProfile profile = connection.fetchUserProfile();

Call the new service getProfile() method like below:

Profile profile = fbService.getProfile("me", connection.createData().getAccessToken());

It works like a magic for me.

Update: Here is the complete web controller code that shows how you can use the custom service for Facebook while keep using the default one for Google's user profile:

@Controller
public class AuthController {

    private FBService fbService;
    private final ProviderSignInUtils providerSignInUtils;

    public AuthController(FBService fbService,
                          ConnectionFactoryLocator connectionFactoryLocator,
                          UsersConnectionRepository connectionRepository) {
        this.fbService = fbService;
        this.providerSignInUtils = new ProviderSignInUtils(connectionFactoryLocator, connectionRepository);
    }

    @GetMapping("/social-signup")
    public String socialSignup(WebRequest request, HttpSession session) {

        Connection<?> connection = providerSignInUtils.getConnectionFromSession(request);
        if (connection == null) {
            return "redirect:/login";
        }

        //fetch user information
        UserProfile profile = null;
        if (connection.getKey().getProviderId().equalsIgnoreCase("google")) {
            profile = connection.fetchUserProfile();
        } else if (connection.getKey().getProviderId().equalsIgnoreCase("facebook")) {
            profile = fbService.getProfile("me", connection.createData().getAccessToken());
        }

        // TODO: continue doing everything else
    }
}
