try {
const sessionClient = new sdk.Client()
.setEndpoint(process.env.AWENDPOINT)
.setProject(process.env.AWPROJECTID);
const account = new sdk.Account(sessionClient);
const session = await account.createEmailPasswordSession(email, password);
console.log("Session created:", session.$id);
sessionClient.setSession(session);
// TEMP
const tempClient = new sdk.Client()
.setEndpoint(process.env.AWENDPOINT)
.setProject(process.env.AWPROJECTID)
.setSession(session);
const account1 = new sdk.Account(tempClient);
//console.log(account1);
//console.log(account1.client.headers["x-appwrite-session"]);
//const sessionsList = await account1.listSessions();
const result = await account.getSession(session.$id);
console.log(result);
console.log(sessionsList);
// END TEMP
const users = new sdk.Users(adminClient);
const user = await users.get(session.userId);
const username = user.email;
Everything else seem to work. I see the session Id and other info. Why accessing sessions is giving an error? Another thing to note: In the console, sessions list the browser/device, location and IP but field "Session" is always empty...
TL;DR
Developers are having issues accessing sessions using getSession and listSessions methods. The error is related to missing scope (account). The console displays the session Id and other information properly but 'Session' field remains empty in sessions list.Recommended threads
