How do I get JWT working in Autorest generated SDK? (ASP.NET Core 2.0)

Question

I want to be able to login to my identity database with user name and password and retreive a JWT. Then I want to use the JWT to access data securely from my API.

I found out that the SDK code generated by VS2017 uses an old version of autorest, so I have switched to using Azure Autorest

The api and the SDK are both ASP.NET Core 2.0

To generate the SDK I use

AutoRest -mynamespace mytrack.Client -CodeGenerator CSharp -Modeler 
Swagger -Input swagger.json -PackageName mytrack.client -AddCredentials true

The versions show as

AutoRest code generation utility [version: 2.0.4262; node: v8.11.2]

I have written my test as

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Rest;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
using swagger; // my name space from the autorest command, not to be confused with swagger itself.
using swagger.Models;

namespace CoreClientTest
{
    [TestClass]
    public class MyTests
    {
        [TestMethod]
        public void TestMethod1()
        {
            try
            {
                GetMyJob().Wait();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e);
                throw;
            }
        }

        private static async Task GetMyJob()
        {
            var tokenRequest = new TokenRequest
            {
                Username = "myusername",
                Password = "mypassword"
            };

            var credentials = new TokenCredentials("bearer token");
            var uri = new Uri("https://localhost:44348", UriKind.Absolute);
            var tokenClient = new Track3API(uri, credentials);
            var tokenResponse = await tokenClient.ApiRequestTokenPostWithHttpMessagesAsync(tokenRequest);
            var tokenContent = await tokenResponse.Response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            var tokenString = JObject.Parse(tokenContent).GetValue("token").ToString();
            var creds2 = new TokenCredentials(tokenString);
            var client2 = new Track3API(uri, creds2);
            var result = await client2.ApiJobsByIdGetWithHttpMessagesAsync(1);
            var response = result.Response;
            Console.WriteLine(response.ToString());
        }
    }
}

I can see that the result has OK and I can see the token in it. I cant see the return job

The method in the api has

[Produces("application/json")]
[Authorize(AuthenticationSchemes = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)]
[Route("api/jobs")]
public class JobController : Controller
{


/// <summary>
/// Returns Job Header for Id
/// </summary>
/// <param name="id"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
[HttpGet("{id}", Name = "Get")]
public IActionResult Get(int id)
{
    var header1 = new JobHeader
    {
        JobNumber = "1234",
        Id = id,
        CustomerPurchaseOrderNumber = "fred"
    };
    return Ok(header1);
}

}

Finally it is working. I found a tip at Andrei Dzimchuk's blog on setting up the token

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Rest;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
using swagger;
using swagger.Models;

namespace CoreClientTest
{
    [TestClass]
    public class MyTests
    {
        [TestMethod]
        public void TestMethod1()
        {
            try
            {
                 GetMyJob().Wait();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e);
                throw;
            }
        }

        private static async Task<JobHeader> GetMyJob()
        {
            var tokenRequest = new TokenRequest
            {
                Username = "myusername",
                Password = "mypassword"
            };
            var credentials = new TokenCredentials("bearer token");
            var uri = new Uri("https://localhost:44348", UriKind.Absolute);
            var tokenClient = new Track3API(uri, credentials);
            var tokenResponse = await tokenClient.ApiRequestTokenPostWithHttpMessagesAsync(tokenRequest);
            var tokenContent = await tokenResponse.Response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            var tokenString = JObject.Parse(tokenContent).GetValue("token").ToString();
            var creds2 = new TokenCredentials(tokenString);
            var client2 = new Track3API(uri, creds2);
            var result = await client2.ApiJobsByIdGetWithHttpMessagesAsync(1);
            string resultContent = await result.Response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            var job = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JobHeader>(resultContent);
            Console.WriteLine(job.JobNumber);
            return job;

        }
    }
}

You should apply the DataContract attribute over the class so that when RestClient consumes the service reference, it also generate the types.

Read it here.

You should also attach DatamMember attribute on Property. See below example

[DataContract]
class Person 
{
    [DataMember]
    public string Name {get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public int Id {get; set; }

    public Person(string name, int id)
    {
        this.Name = name;
        this.Id = id;
    }
}

When Rest Client consume the service, it will generate the classes at client side for those classes which are attributed with DataContract.
