[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

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

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

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

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

Hmm I'm not sure how/why it had multiple 🧐
