[SOLVED] Error while trying to create a document on a cloud function

I have been trying to create a document from a cloud function triggered by the web console. It fails ( please check the log image) As you can see, there is "APPWRITE_FUNCTION_USER_ID: " First of all the Id "639d5549a1e8caadcc8d" does not exist anywhere..... and as per the documentation

Executions triggered in the Appwrite console will be prepended with "admin-". This does not happen and i get an ID that does not belong to any user... and that permission issue is confusing me because i thought that an execution from the server is supposed to be trusted?

here is a small code snippet const database = new sdk.Databases(client); console.log("Requesting for base item creation"); let baseItem = await database.createDocument( getSterFashionDbId, fashionItemsCollectionId, sdk.ID.unique(), stringifiedItemData );

I am comfused about this... at first i thought that it was because i was in 1.2.0 but when i updated to 1.3 later on.. got the same issue

Please share more of your code

hey, I think i know where the issue was All the cloud functions were failing... I recreated the api key and they're now working as usual

now i am wondering " was it because the container was down for 2 months that the api key stopped working properly?"

Also the issue with the APPWRITE_FUNCTION_USER_ID is strange i use the following line to print it console.log("APPWRITE_FUNCTION_USER_ID:",req.variables.APPWRITE_FUNCTION_USER_ID ); I do not have any user with that ID in my entire project...

I would only expect the API key to stop working if there was an expiration on it.

If you're executing from the console, the function user id will be the id of the console user, not a project user

They were both set to never... also the <<all>> key access time seems off.. because i changed the api key only 10/15mins ago ... but its ok the console user ID is different

i only have 2 users in the whole project, these are their Ids 63a58376581346983eec 639d6e842201d1f92738 ( logged in with this )

and this is what the console is printing 639d5549a1e8caadcc8d

If you're executing from the console, the function user id will be the id of the console user, not a project user So sorry i did not read properly , my bad 😅😅😅 you were right, I understood now thanks

The last accessed at timestamp only updates after 24 hours

ow ok ok i see thanks . by the way, on this current server i have 1.2.0.. can i directly jump to 1.3.7 and run the migration?

i am currently using Gitpod on this old server.... so i can just jump to 1.3 here.... but how do i run the migration at that time 😅 ( sorry for asking so many things... just came back from a very long break... )

You can jump to 1.3.7 and run the migration

See the docs

since i am inside gitpod and vscode, can i just switch the branch and run cd appwrite/ docker compose exec appwrite migrate

i mean i am not really sure that it would be appropriate to run docker run -it --rm \ --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ --volume "$(pwd)"/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw \ --entrypoint="install" \ appwrite/appwrite:1.3.7 when i can just change the branch??

Uhh you're running Appwrite from source??

No you're not.

Yes, this is the recommended approach but up to you

ok ok will try 🙂 thanks

thats the gitpod... once i open it, it opens vscode ( screenshot above) at that branch(1.2.0) and the browser....

can you please mark the issue as resolved ? 🙂

You can do it yourself too by editing the post
