[SOLVED] Cloud function executes twice from the URL - Threads - Appwrite

Skip to content

When go to my function URL, it executes twice.

/favicon.ico path always being the second execution.

Why is that happening?

TL;DR

Cloud function is executing twice from the URL. The issue was resolved by adding a return statement to a utility call. The user then questioned if the redirection code should be in the main method or the utility function. It was suggested that the redirection code should be placed in the main method if it is not working in the utility function. However, the user still faced the issue of the code being executed twice when opening it in a browser, with the /favicon.ico path being the second execution. The reason for this behavior is that browsers automatically fetch the favicon.

Ah, so I can't do anything about this?

You can check the path and return nothing at start so it will finish as fast as possible

not if you're opening it with a browser

Well, still goes to execution count. 😄

Ooh for that part Yes..

Another thing

At some point I do return res.redirect(new URL(document.url)); Shouldn't this redirect me, in the browser, to the url that is set in here?

If I run it from the browser

yes? depends on how you've done it

redirection is inside a utility function that is in another file. It doesn't redirect even tho it comes and executes that line of code.

Should redirect part rather be in the main method in main.ts rather than in the utility?

Nevermind

I actually forgot a return statement on utility call. It works. Ty
