Unknown attribute type: varchar / text
Since the string type is deprecated I tried using varchar and text in some newer tables, but when running appwrite pull tables && appwrite types ./src/lib/appwrite/appwrite.ts I get:
TypeScript
ℹ Info: Fetching tables ...
? From which database would you like to pull collections? Skincare Buddy (skincare-buddy)

Unknown attribute type: varchar
ELIFECYCLE Command failed with exit code 1.```
I have `appwrite@^21.5.0`.
TL;DR
Developers are experiencing issues when trying to use `varchar` and `text` as attribute types in newer tables. Running the `appwrite pull tables` command shows an error stating "Unknown attribute type: varchar". This error occurs even though `appwrite@^21.5.0` is being used.
