Hey, i am trying to create a user

because i am following a tutorial, where i am pretty sure i have done everything correct

TL;DR

Developers encountering an invalid URL error when trying to create a new user. They're using Appwrite and need to ensure their .env file is set up correctly with the correct string-based endpoint. The function for creating a user should use account.create instead of users.create for their purpose. Additionally, they should check if the email being used already exists in Appwrite to prevent creating duplicate accounts. The issue could also be related to the formatting or setup of the .env file.

what tutorial

the appwrite section where i am stuck at the end is at hour 1

add a log in your catch

TypeScript

export const createUser = async (user: CreateUserParams) => {
  try {
    // Create new user -> https://appwrite.io/docs/references/1.5.x/server-nodejs/users#create
    const newuser = await users.create(
      ID.unique(),
      user.email,
      user.phone,
      undefined,
      user.name
    );

    return parseStringify(newuser);
  } catch (error: any) {
    // Check existing user
    if (error && error?.code === 409) {
      const existingUser = await users.list([
        Query.equal("email", [user.email]),
      ]);

      return existingUser.users[0];
    }
    console.error("An error occurred while creating a new user:", error);
  }
};

do you get that error?

is your env file setup correctly?

yes my env file shoud be correct

i went over it again before reaching for support

An error occurred while creating a new user: TypeError: Failed to construct 'URL': Invalid URL at Users.create (users.mjs:77:17) at createUser (patient.actions.ts:8:33) at onSubmit (PatientForm.tsx:51:36) at eval (index.esm.mjs:2256:23)

thats the whole error

Sure, looks like something is not formatted correctly. Maybe the email?

it should all be string

What do you have in your .env for ENDPOINT

https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1

thats my endpoint

so you've got NEXT_PUBLIC_ENDPOINT=https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1?

correct

this is my .env.public

i only do this for training if you wonder

change it to just .env

I thought nextjs only support .env, .env.local, .env.development, and .env.production out of the box.
