[SOLVED] github oauth error "general_argument_invalid"

I get the error with NextJS and GitHub OAuth, i found this and tried to use it to solve by moving from locahost to using sub domains https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/1203#issuecomment-850787160

TypeScript

{"message":"Invalid `success` param: URL host must be one of: localhost, appwrite.jaoudestudios.co.uk, *.vercel.app,localhost,rating.jaoudestudios.co.uk","code":400,"type":"general_argument_invalid","version":"0.11.33"}

After research, I have done the following, am I missing something?

used a custom sub domain appwrite.jaoudestudios.co.uk and added it to my Appwrite Cloud project
using custom sub domain to connect to Appwrite

TypeScript

const client = new Client()
  .setEndpoint("https://appwrite.jaoudestudios.co.uk/v1")
  .setProject(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID);

using a host file for rating.jaoudestudios.co.uk to point to localhost, and added to allowed hostnames

TypeScript

const login = async () => {
    account.createOAuth2Session(
      "github",
      "http://rating.jaoudestudios.co.uk:3000/account",
      "http://rating.jaoudestudios.co.uk:3000/failed"
    );
  };

github oauth settings is https://appwrite.jaoudestudios.co.uk/v1/account/sessions/oauth2/callback/github/XXX

TL;DR

The user was experiencing an error with GitHub OAuth, specifically "general_argument_invalid". They were able to solve the issue by using a custom subdomain for Appwrite and adding it to their project. They also used a host file to point their desired subdomain to localhost and added it to the allowed hostnames. The problem was resolved by making these changes.

For the hostname, can you try creating separate web platforms for each?

I only created the sub domains because of the GitHub Discussion with cross domain limitations on OAuth, I am happy to use localhost

In order for the cookies to work as 1st party, the Appwrite endpoint needs to be a subdomain for your app. So if your app is on rating.jaoudestudios.co.uk, the Appwrite endpoint would need to be on something like appwrite.rating.jaoudestudios.co.uk

oh really? not what I understand from the github discussion but I can try still that

You can try...

I will try now 👍

But you'll need separate web platforms. Comma separated values here won't work

ok, so I will need one for each sub domain?

it seems to work, but I made 2 changes, I think the fix was removing the comma separate domains and leaving only 1

thank you for your help Steven!

Fyi, I'm pretty sure we have a PR pending merge/release to return an error if you pass in invalid hostname

it has multiple domains in there already to begin with, so I just appended an additional domain - that would be great, it would have saved me most of the day
