[SOLVED] Getting General Unknown Error using databases.createDocument()

argument #0:

'Appwrite service :: createAccount() :: ' error:

AppwriteException { name: 'AppwriteException', code: 500, type: 'general_unknown', response: { message: 'Server Error', code: 500, type: 'general_unknown', version: '0.11.59' }, fileName: 'http://localhost:5173/node_modules/.vite/deps/appwrite.js, lineNumber: 550, columnNumber: 5, message: 'Server Error' }

//Code

async createAccount({email, password, name}){ try { const avatars = new Avatars(this.client); const avatarUrl = avatars.getInitials(name); const userAccount = await this.account.create(ID.unique(), email, password, name) if(!userAccount){ throw Error } const userId = userAccount.$id const newUser =await this.databases.createDocument( conf.appwriteDatabaseId, conf.appwriteUsersCollectionId, ID.unique(), { UserId : userId, Username : name, Password : password, Email : email, ImageUrl : avatarUrl }) if(!newUser){ throw Error }else{ console.log('login') return this.login({email, password}) } } catch (error) { console.log("Appwrite service :: createAccount() :: ", error) } }

TL;DR

The user was receiving a "General Unknown Error" while using the `databases.createDocument()` function. The issue was resolved by creating permissions for the related collection as well. The error was caused by the user not being logged in and missing the necessary scope. The user also shared the details of their collection and mentioned that they were using self-hosting. The issue was resolved and no new errors were reported. If your collection has relationships with other collections, check the permissions for related collections. The user also provided a link to the original GitHub issue. Lastly, there was a code snippet provided for the `createAccount()` function.

Did you check the permissions of the collection ??

@sushant if your collection has relationships with other collections, check the permissions for related collections also.

Btw, it's best to use 3 back ticks with multi-line code. See https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#syntax-highlighting

It is still giving the same issue @Muniraja

Are you using cloud or self hosting?

Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/7309

I haven't seen any new errors come in from your project 🧐

Would you please share the details of your collection?

Thanks, The issue above has been resolved now.

AppwriteException { name: 'AppwriteException', code: 401, type: 'general_unauthorized_scope', response: { message: 'User (role: guests) missing scope (account)', code: 401, type: 'general_unauthorized_scope', version: '0.12.12' }, fileName: 'http://localhost:5173/node_modules/.vite/deps/appwrite.js', lineNumber: 550, columnNumber: 5, message: 'User (role: guests) missing scope (account)' }

But I am getting this issue in another function.

This error means you're not logged in

okay thank you @Drake

Can you share information about how you solve the first issue?

It got solved by creating permissions for other related collection as well

Thank you! I'll set this as solved
