Failed to get current user ID, using system as creator

Error message

Failed to get current user ID, using system as creator

What it means

NotificationServiceImpl.createNotificationEntity tries to obtain the current operator's UID via RequestContextUtil.getUID() to set creatorUid. If that call throws (no request context, unauthenticated, or context cleared), the code catches Exception, logs "Failed to get current user ID, using system as creator", and falls back to leaving creatorUid unset (system). This is a logged warning fallback, not a thrown error.

Solutions

1. If a user context should exist, verify auth middleware/interceptor ran and propagated the UID.
2. For async processing, propagate the request context (or UID explicitly) to the worker thread before calling notification().
3. Accept the fallback only for genuinely system-initiated notifications; otherwise pass the creator UID as an explicit parameter.
4. Consider upgrading the log to include the notification type/reason to aid tracing.

Example fix

// before
String currentUid = RequestContextUtil.getUID();
notification.setCreatorUid(currentUid);
// after
String currentUid = RequestContextUtil.getUIDSafe(); // returns null if absent
notification.setCreatorUid(currentUid != null ? currentUid : SYSTEM_UID);

// caller-side: pass the UID explicitly when available
notificationService.notification(req, currentUser != null ? currentUser.getUid() : null);

boolean hasUserContext = RequestContextUtil.getUIDOrNull() != null;

try {
    String uid = RequestContextUtil.getUID();
    notification.setCreatorUid(uid);
} catch (Exception e) {
    log.warn("Failed to get current user ID, using system as creator, source={}", trigger); 
}

When it happens

Trigger: notification() called from a path without an HTTP request context (Kafka consumer, scheduled job, async thread) or before authentication is established, so RequestContextUtil.getUID() throws.

Common situations: System-generated notifications (billing events, background tasks) with no logged-in user; async executor thread lacking the request-context ThreadLocal propagated; internal API call without auth headers.
