Internal server error: Cannot get property 'inputStream' on null object

irzelindo · June 3, 2025, 1:22pm

Am I required to set the localization on openboxes.yml file?

dataSource:
  url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/openboxes?allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true&useSSL=false&serverTimezone=UTC
  username: openboxes
  password: openboxes
grails:
  serverURL: http://localhost:8080/openboxes

Yes, add the following based on your preferences. You may not need all these settings. Set the ones you need.

Localization configuration - default and supported locales

locale:
    custom:
        enabled: false
    defaultLocale: 'en'
    localizationModeLocale: 'ach'
    supportedLocales: ['ar', 'ach', 'de', 'en', 'es', 'es_MX', 'fr', 'ht', 'it', 'pt', 'fi', 'zh']
    # Currency configuration
    defaultCurrencyCode: "USD"
    defaultCurrencySymbol: '\$'
    supportedCurrencyCodes: ["USD", "CAD", "EUR", "GBP"]
    currencyApi:
        url: "https://api.exchangeratesapi.io/latest?base=%s"
        apiKey: ""
        password: ""
    translationApi:
        uri: "https://translate.yandex.net/api/v1.5/tr.json/translate?key=%s&text=%s&lang=%s&format=%s"
        apiKey: ""
        format: "plain"

You won’t need to add that as it’s the default configuration.

github.com/openboxes/openboxes

grails-app/conf/application.yml

develop


      
          stockCard:
              consumption:
                  stockout: &stockout 1
                  low_stock: &low_stock 2
                  expired: &expired 3
                  damaged: &damaged 4
                  could_not_locate: &could_not_locate 14
                  insufficient_quantity_reconditioned: &insufficient_quantity_reconditioned 19
                  reasonCodes: [*stockout, *low_stock, *expired, *damaged, *could_not_locate, *insufficient_quantity_reconditioned]
          
          # Localization configuration - default and supported locales
          locale:
              custom:
                  enabled: false
              defaultLocale: 'en'
              localizationModeLocale: 'ach'
              supportedLocales: ['ar', 'ach', 'de', 'en', 'es', 'es_MX', 'fr', 'ht', 'it', 'pt', 'fi', 'zh']
              # Currency configuration
              defaultCurrencyCode: "USD"
              defaultCurrencySymbol: '\$'
              supportedCurrencyCodes: ["USD", "CAD", "EUR", "GBP"]

You only need to add this if you want to override the defaultLocale or supportedLocales.

I can indeed switch to Spanish but at the moment I logout and login again the default language of openboxes switches automatically to English.

You can do this in one of the following ways.

Set the defaultLocale in openboxes.yml to “es”

openboxes:
    locale:
        defaultLocale: 'es'

Set the Locale for each user to Spanish.

To get Spanish, set defaultLocale: ‘es’.

If you are not using the application.yml file as @jmiranda shared, which has these default settings, you can still use the openboxes.yml with your desired settings.

irzelindo · June 3, 2025, 2:52pm

Where do you store your config file? I’ve stored mine in /opt/tomcat/,grails/openboxes.yml in but this definition is not getting applied by the system.

jmiranda · June 3, 2025, 3:47pm

In your openboxes.yml, get rid of everything from locale: down and replace with the snippet I shared above.

openboxes:
  locale:
    defaultLocale: 'es'

Only set this defaultLocale property because the other settings should continue to use the default.

irzelindo · June 3, 2025, 4:10pm

Works now, thanks.

Last time I forgot to put the first property header openboxes:

openboxes:
  locale:
    defaultLocale: 'es'
  logo:
    url: "/openboxes/assets/openboxes_logo_40x40.jpg"

Jose_Rodriguez · June 12, 2025, 7:15am

Jose_Rodriguez · June 12, 2025, 9:51am

Finally I get the solution, It was rename the menssages_es.properties to menssages_es_ES.properties

jmiranda · June 13, 2025, 11:30pm

The default config only supports “es” as far as I remember. Maybe es_MX.

Out of curiosity did you add a supported locale for es_ES?

By the way, we owe y’all guys better docs for adding new languages/locales and getting users onboarded as translators in Crowdin.
