[SOLVED] Account not working in appwrite functions

I have a function that checks for authentication in the following way

1. Initialize the client using jwt passed by the user

  const client = new Client()
    .setEndpoint(process.env.APPWRITE_API_ENDPOINT)
    .setProject(process.env.APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID)
    .setJWT(req.headers['x-appwrite-user-jwt'])

2. Authenticate function to check if a user is a valid one

import { Account } from "node-appwrite"

export async function authenticate(client, log, error) {
    log("Initializing Account")
    const account = new Account(client)
    let user = null
    try {
        log("Getting account")
        user = await account.get()
        log(user)
        if (!user.email)
            throw Error("User does not have email")
        log(user.$id, 'authenticated')
    } catch (e) {
        user = null
        error(e.toString())
    }
    return user
}

However I get the following logs,

Initializing Account
Getting account

And the following error logs,

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:80

It probably means the Accounts API is not working in node-appwrite, Can someone please help me out here?

Is this cloud or self-hosted?

In cloud

What have you set APPWRITE_API_ENDPOINT to?

Isn't that passed during execution in cloud?

Has that changed in the recent update ?

Ok now I have set APPWRITE_API_ENDPOINT='https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1' Still the error is the same

Not to my knowledge - at least, it’s not in the list of variables in the docs

Interesting. Have you tried dumping out the vars to check that they’re actually being set correctly?

Yes I did that too, it prints whatever I have set, in fact I am using the same instantiation of client in another function (except the JWT part), it works fine

I have also found that the error is at user = await account.get() in the authenticate function, as I am catching and error logging it.

Everything before it prints in the log perfectly

Yeah, that’s what I assumed

Ok

What if you just put https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1 in .setEndpoint(), instead of using the envvar?

Ok trying now

If you don't mind me asking, why do you think that the client is the problem ?

It looks like it’s trying to connect to the wrong thing. It shouldn’t be attempting a connection to 127.0.0.1 - it should be trying to connect to cloud.appwrite.io

And I don’t see anything else it could be (in the code)

Yea it seems to be working now

Thank you so much I did not notice the quotes here in the log for the environement variable

APPWRITE_API_ENDPOINT=https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1

Setting it to this works (without quotes)

Thanks again @ideclon
