When my appwrite function executes (hosted on appwrite console), the bulk operations don't execute (without error) unless I add a dev key as an API Key in the env vars on appwrite.
const client = new Client()
.setEndpoint(process.env.API_ENDPOINT)
.setProject(process.env.PROJECT_ID)
.setKey(process.env.APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY || process.env.API_KEY)
when locally testing with docker, i have this API_key env var but I was thinking in functions I shouldnt need it so wanted to check im not doing anything wrong.
I am using node-appwrite 17.2.0
e.g. of this - my main.js will call this function and I will see the first console.log stating it will create n events but I never see an error console log or a success log. It then returns to the main.js and completes the script.
export async function handleCreateBlock(db, block) {
const newEvents = createEventsFromBlock(block);
try {
console.log(`Creating ${newEvents.length} events using bulk operation...`);
const result = await db.createDocuments(
process.env.DATABASE_ID,
process.env.EVENTS_COLLECTION_ID,
newEvents
);
console.log(`Bulk creation successful: ${result.documents.length} events created`);
return result;
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error creating events:", error);
throw error;
}
}
so to be clear, if i add the API_KEY env var it works. I have also given all database scopes in the function settings
TL;DR
Developers are having issues with bulk operations not executing in the Function API unless an API key is added to the environment variables. It seems that adding the API key resolves the problem, even though it's unclear why it's required. Also, the appropriate scopes need to be given in the function settings.
