[SOLVED] Invalid document structure: Unknown attribute: "$collectionId"

Hi, I got this error on Appwrite Function, but can't found any solution on google:

TypeScript

module.exports = async (req, res) => {
  const database = new sdk.Databases(client);
  const currentOrder = JSON.parse(req.variables.APPWRITE_FUNCTION_EVENT_DATA);
  const res1 = await database.updateDocument(
    currentOrder.$databaseId,
    currentOrder.$collectionId,
    currentOrder.$id,
    currentOrder,
    [
      sdk.Permission.read(
        sdk.Role.user(req.variables.APPWRITE_FUNCTION_USER_ID)
      ),
      sdk.Permission.update(sdk.Role.team("admin")),
    ]
  );
}

TL;DR

The user encountered an error "Invalid document structure: Unknown attribute: "$collectionId"". After some discussion, it was determined that the issue was with the payload of the event. The solution was to pass a new `currentOrder` as the third parameter in the `updateDocument` function and only include the data that needed to be updated. The user also mentioned that the error logs from Appwrite's functions are not good and suggested improvements in that area.

Hi there 👋 allow me to look into this and get back to you

hope to see your response soon 😄

So collectionId should not be in currentOrder, only in parameter should be fine

But when I console.log(currentOrder.$collectionId), it show correct collection id

Please help me @joeyouss

Hi @huylv , just DMed you

still need help 😦

Hey there 👋 Problem here seems to be that event give you whole order document, but updateDocument doesn't like that you provide all those attributes in the document. In the end, update endpoint only needs stuff that you want to update.

Soo solution here should be to pass new currentOrder as third parameter, and make it only have data that you want to update.

Tho I think this should work - this might be bug with payload of specific event. Ill take a look to double check.

Indeed, I am getting same error when trying to reproduce. This code fails:

TypeScript

    editHabitName: async (habit: Habit, newName: string) => {
        habit.name = newName;
        return await databases.updateDocument<Habit>('main', 'habits', habit.$id, habit);
    },

This code works:

TypeScript

    editHabitName: async (habitId: string, name: string) => {
        return await databases.updateDocument<Habit>('main', 'habits', habitId, {
            name
        });
    },

When doing updateDocument, make sure to pass data object that only has stuff you want to change. In my scenario, the name attribute.

@Meldiron Thanks, I have done it. Just pass empty object to the third parameter and only update the permission. Appwrite is really awesome, but error logs from appwrite's functions are not good. Hope you guys improve it 😄
