Keycloak Partial Export does not work

[SamTV12345]

I have the issue that I want to create a client that extracts most of the resources from a running Keycloak instance. After I found out that the realm endpoint only returns basic things about a realm I discovered the partial export method for a realm. But somehow it returns an optional string and that string is for me always none. I use the master realm in my export so that should be there always. It's Keycloak v26.0.7

The working strategy would be probably to sent same request using curl and see that happens.

👍 I'll debug this on Monday. Every other request just works only this does not work. Using the admin panel and exporting that there works without an issue. I also checked that it is the same endpoint with the same query parameters.

I think it is not stopping us from providing here a better solution. We previously added special case for handling Location header in empty responses (#119). This is why this response type Option<String>. But I think we did this a little bit non transparent. That we should to improve it is to change how threat empty responses. Seems like OpenAPI description generated by keycloak is quite limited, the empty response could be text, or have location header. I will prepare now alternative solution, it will be in branch for some time, as it breaks existing clients.

@SamTV12345 you may try #150 now.

Basically code call looks like that:

let partial_export: serde_json::Value = keycloak_admin
        .realm_partial_export_post(&realm, None, None)
        .await?
        .into_response()
        .json()
        .await?;

I could not do the new release at the moment, as it is breaking change, we have to wait next Keycloak release.
