Error creating user: AppwriteException: Server Error
type: 'general_unknown',
response: '{"message":"Server Error","code":500,"type":"general_unknown","version":"1.8.0"}'
}

Summary

Appwrite isn't accepting the API from the server. The developers were passing an incorrect number of parameters to the endpoint causing an error. The correct version of the code was provided with the necessary adjustments. The issue was resolved by ensuring that the correct number of parameters was passed to the Appwrite API call.

app.post("/api/auth/register", async (req, res) => {
// Added 'async'
try {
const { email, password } = req.body;

// 1. Create a unique ID for the new user
const userId = nanoid();

// 2. Call Appwrite to create the user
// Appwrite Users.create signature is (userId, email, password, name?)
const newUser = await users.create(
  userId,
  email,
  null, // name (optional)
  password,
  null
);

console.log("Successfully created user:", newUser);

// 3. Send a success response back to Flutter
res.status(201).json({
  message: "User registered successfully!",
  userId: newUser.$id,
});

} catch (error) {
console.error("Error creating user:", error); // Keep logging the full error to the console
res.status(500).json({
message: "Failed to register user",
// NEW: Send back the full error details as a string
error: JSON.stringify(error, Object.getOwnPropertyNames(error)),
});
}
});

JavaScript

 const newUser = await users.create(
      userId,
      email,
      null, // name (optional)
      password,
      null
    );

Are you passing 5 params ?
the endpoint accepts 4

JavaScript

const result = await account.create({
    userId: '<USER_ID>',
    email: 'email@example.com',
    password: '',
    name: '<NAME>' // optional
});

this should be the correct version
