[SOLVED] Appwrite sdk isn't working in the cloud function

I think the client isn't initializing. I've added appwrite endpoint, project_id, and api_key. the project_id automatically comes from the request variable, endpoint & api_key are two that I've manually added from my appwrite console.

endpoint => https://localhost/v1

api_key => that I got from the API tab

I noticed the doc says that I need to use my public ip instead of https://localhost/v1 in case of cloud functions. but tbh, I don't really know what they mean by "public ip". we can find the same page on 127.0.0.1 as well. Do they want me to use https://127.0.0.1/v1 instead? if yes, then I'm not logged in there. and I also forgot my password ( i don't think we have any way to recover passwords in development mode )

I've added the code where I'm trying to access my DB and also the log of my function execution.

That's all I have. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm new to Appwrite. So if anyone can help, that'll be appreciated.

NOTE: I'm on a Node env

Hey there 👋 Your code looks fine. Hmm what seems to be hapenning here is your cod egetting to catch where you log error. For some reason, error object appears to have no public properties.

You can try to do console.log(error.toString() instead, it might have more information for you. Also add some dummy console.log("Here") into catch, to ensure that's where code is getting.

I can't see why it would fail, to be honest. Seeing error will be really useful

@Meldiron Hey. thanks for the toString() suggestion. i finally see some different message. As shown in the attached, it throws a type error saying client.setEndpoint(...).setProject(...).setKey is not a function, which is really unexpected. Cause the function-starter node project in GitHub also uses the same approach

i just tried removing the setKey from my code and seems now the Client is initialized. but we face another error, saying "connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:80". no idea what that mean

Ooh you are using appwrite In function (in Node.JS), please use library node-appwrite. It's adjusted a bit with server-to-server features, such as API keys or Users API

Cool. Yeah we need to provide proper IP address. With real server, that wuold be IP address of your server. With local development, you can LAN IP address of your device. You can usually find that in network settings. It's different for everyone

In future we plan to make this simpler by having internal endpoint like appwrite, but for now, you need to provide LAN IP

thanks for the help. I've replaced appwrite with node-appwrite, changed the EndPoint to my machine's IP address, and added the setKey again. now I see a different error message. it's maybe saying that I don't have read permission for that collection. I guess it's happening cause I'm not logged in from the public IP. I'm only logged in from http://localhost. And as I mentioned before, I forgot my console password. is there any walkaround for this? or any way to recover my pass?

What scopes did you give your api key?

i'm dumb

it's solved. thanks

@Steven hey. the previous problem is solved. thanks for helping with that. I was wondering if there's any way to recover my appwrite console password while being in development mode. if forgot my pass, so now I need to do many of my tasks manually

Best to create a new post

Hey @manazo can you share how you solved this?

@Steven I'm facing an issue for a similar use case. I'm creating a document inside the Appwrite function.

I've set the correct endpoint, project ID, API key with necessary scopes.

I get this error when I try to createDocument

Error: Not Found

    at async /usr/local/src/server.js:68:13```

And when I create a document from Appwrite dashboard and I try to `getDocument` I get this error 

Error: app.63d65be8dbea5fcd8b44@service.192.168.29.173 (role: applications) missing scope (home) at Client.call (/usr/code-start/node_modules/node-appwrite/lib/client.js:171:31) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5) at async Databases.getDocument (/usr/code-start/node_modules/node-appwrite/lib/services/databases.js:1088:16) at async module.exports (/usr/code-start/index.js:61:24) at async /usr/local/src/server.js:68:13```

did you include /v1 in your endpoint?

I missed adding /v1/ to the endpoint 🤦‍♂️. Apologies, that was a silly mistake. Thanks @Steven , it's working as expected now.
