How are you creating account?

Summary

Developer encountered login issues after creating an account. The problem was due to using `account.createEmailPasswordSession()`, intended for v1.5, while they should use `account.createEmailSession()` for v1.4. The correct code snippet would be: ```js async function login(email, password) { try { await account.createEmailSession(email, password); // Corrected method const user = await account.get(); setLoggedInUser(user); setSuccessMessage('Logged in successfully.'); setError(''); } catch (error) { console.error('Login failed:', error); setError('Failed

Following code:

  async function register(email, password, name) {
    try {
      await account.create(ID.unique(), email, password, name);
      //await login(email, password);
      setSuccessMessage('Registered and logged in successfully.');
    } catch (error) {
      setError('Failed to register. Please try again.');
    }
  }

But where are you creating account?

await account.create(ID.unique(), email, password, name);
but I am assuming you meant:
const account = new Account(client);

I was following this page https://appwrite.io/docs/products/auth/email-password and https://appwrite.io/docs/quick-starts/react

In v1.4 you should use createEmailSession

Guille

Mar 7, 2024, 11:45

createEmailPasswordSession is renamed in v1.5, v1.4 uses createEmailSession

Oh actually, you're right! Docs are so confusing!

ideclon

Mar 7, 2024, 11:46

Yes, as @Guille said, It should be account.createEmailSession(), not account.createEmailPasswordSession()

Guille

Mar 7, 2024, 11:47

Yeah, I've seen many people confused about new methods and functions from 1.5 vs 1.4

ideclon

I usually check the API references and manually select v1.4, but I just glanced at https://appwrite.io/docs/products/auth/email-password this time

ideclon

Mar 7, 2024, 11:48

The docs have been updated to be accurate for v1.5, which hasn't been released yet

Guille

Mar 7, 2024, 11:48

Yean will be better to manually select v1.4 to avoid problems
