Back
general_bad_request when creating user's account
I came back to a project I was working on last year and now signing up with email does not work. Signing up with google oauth and login works.
This is the error response i get in network tab
TypeScript
{
"message": "There was an error processing your request. Please check the inputs and try again.",
"code": 400,
"type": "general_bad_request",
"version": "0.12.174"
}
This is my config
TypeScript
const client = new Client();
client
.setEndpoint("https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1")
.setProject(import.meta.env.VITE_APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID);
export const authAccount = new Account(client);
export const uniqueId = ID.unique();
export default client;
This is my signup function
TypeScript
export async function createUserAccount(
email: string,
password: string,
name: string
) {
try {
await authAccount.create(uniqueId, email, password, name);
} catch (error: any) {
throw new Error(error);
}
}
This is my submit handler function for the sign up
TypeScript
const signupSubmit = async (e: FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) => {
e.preventDefault();
const { formData, isFormValid } = getValidFormData(e);
const [nameField, emailField, passwordField, confirmPasswordField] =
formData;
const doesPasswordMatch = passwordField[1] === confirmPasswordField[1];
console.log({ formData });
try {
if (isFormValid && doesPasswordMatch) {
setIsLoading(true);
const account = await createUserAccount(
emailField[1] as string,
passwordField[1] as string,
nameField[1] as string
);
const userAccount = await getUserAccount();
} else {
toastError(
"Cannot submit the form. Please check the highlighted fields for errors and try again."
);
}
} catch (error: any) {
toastError(error.message);
} finally {
setIsLoading(false);
}
};
I always get the error regardless of what inputsit receive and I don't even know what is wrong.
TL;DR
Issue: Users encountering a 'general_bad_request' error when trying to create an account via email in their appwrite package version 11.0.0 setup. Google OAuth and login work fine.
Solution: Ensure the email, password, and name inputs are correct in the signup function. Consider checking the configuration settings and verifying if the provided data matches the expected format.I am making use of v11.0.0 of the appwrite package
