CLI throws "Unsupported attribute type: email" when pushing tables with email or url field types.
Environment
- CLI: appwrite-cli (npx)
- Region: NYC Cloud
- OS: Windows 11
Error
Error: Unsupported attribute type: email
at createAttribute (.../appwrite-cli/lib/commands/push.js:560:19)
Configuration
JSON
{ "tables": [{ "$id": "users", "columns": [{ "key": "email", "type": "email", "required": true }] }]}Expected
According to docs, email and url are supported column types. CLI should create these columns successfully.
Actual
CLI fails with "Unsupported attribute type" for both email and url types.
Steps
- Add
email/urlcolumn toappwrite.config.json - Run
npx appwrite-cli push tables - Error occurs during deployment
Workaround
Using string type works but loses validation benefits.
Request
How should I go about this CLI compatibility with documented email and url field types.
Summary
CLI throws error for `email` and `url` column types, citing them as unsupported, despite documentation. Workaround is to use `string` type. Solution pending.
