[SOLVED] Create verification email error

👋 Good day, Appwrite staff. I'm trying to create a verification email to test out my auth workflow locally. Initially, I got this error:

Invalid url: URL host must be one of: localhost, cloud.appwrite.io, 127.0.0.1

I thought it had something to do with port numbers. I then setup a proxy server with Nginx locally and tried again. I got the same error ;(:

Invalid url: URL host must be one of: localhost, cloud.appwrite.io, local.dev

Here's my code handling it: (Next.js)

await AppwriteService.signup(email, password);
toast.success('Account created successfully!', toastOptions);

// First login, then send verification email
await AppwriteService.login(email, password);
await AppwriteService.sendVerificationEmail(`${config.HOST}/auth/confirm-account`);
      
// Redirect to the /verify-account page
router.push('/auth/verify-account');

The value of config.HOST is local.dev.

And yes, I've set up a custom domain. Is there any other thing I'm missing? I'd really appreciate a nudge in the right direction as this error is driving me crazy.

local.dev is not in this list: localhost, cloud.appwrite.io, 127.0.0.1. You have to add local.dev as a web platform to your project.

See https://appwrite.io/docs/getting-started-for-web#addPlatform

I think you missed the part where I mentioned I was initially using 127.0.0.1. After I switched to local.dev, I updated my platform host to local.dev.

so is it working now? what error are you getting now?

Pardon my late reply ;). It's not working. I tried again today.

I've figured a temporary workaround (pending when I get a fix): I use the secret returned from the createVerification() method and manually verify the user.

EDIT: It works now 👀. Turns out I needed to add the protocol in front of the URL. My bad.
