general_unknown server error for upsertDocument
Hey all, i updated the node-sdk to 17.1.0 and tried the upsertDocument function added, but that gives me the error:
TypeScript
"name": "AppwriteException",
"code": 500,
"type": "general_unknown",
"response": "{\"message\":\"Server Error\",\"code\":500,\"type\":\"general_unknown\",\"version\":\"1.7.4\"}"
I checked if we needed to update the database as we are self hosting but 1.7.4 seems to be correct. Am i missing something?
Edit:
TypeScript

This is the error in the appwrite logs
TL;DR
Developers are encountering a general_unknown server error when trying to use the upsertDocument function after updating to node-sdk 17.1.0. The error points to a Server Error with code 500. Despite confirming the correct database version, the issue persists. In the appwrite logs, a PDOException related to mismatched tokens is seen.
**Solution:** It seems like the error is related to a mismatch between the number of bound variables and tokens in the PDO statement. Please review the code to ensure the correct number of variables are being passed.
