#validation error

Hi @coral furnace. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
In Convex, validation errors typically occur when the arguments passed to a function do not match the expected structure defined by the validator. This is often indicated by an ArgumentValidationError message.
For example, if you have a function defined with an argument validator like this:
export const get = query({
args: {
userId: v.optional(v.id('users')),
},
handler: async (ctx, args) => {
if (args.userId === undefined) {
return [];
}
return await ctx.table('tableName').filter((q) => q.eq(q.field('userId'), args.userId));
},
});
And you call this function without providing a userId, you might get an error like this:
ArgumentValidationError: Object is missing the required field `userId`. Consider wrapping the field validator in `v.optional(...)` if this is expected.
Object: {}
Validator: v.object({userId: v.id("users")})
This error is indicating that the userId field is missing from the arguments passed to the function. To fix this, you would need to ensure that a userId is provided when calling the function.
If you're seeing validation errors, it's a good idea to check the following:
- Ensure that the arguments you're passing to the function match the structure expected by the validator.
- Make sure you're running the latest version of your code. Sometimes, validation errors can occur if you have an older version of the code deployed.
- Check your terminal for any errors that might be blocking the execution of your code.
For more information on adding validators to your functions in Convex, you can refer to the Convex documentation (https://docs.convex.dev/functions/validation#adding-validators).

@jade cloud error is
Error: [CONVEX M(game:create)] [Request ID: db4a928b0d3cbeba] Server Error
ArgumentValidationError: Found ID "k17c5k1ys207tqrj4k0kqpgbxs72akqq" from table quiz, which does not match the table name in validator v.id("game").Path: .quizId
and error occured here.
const gameId = await createGameMutation({
quizId: quiz._id,
stepCount: values.stepCount,
});
export const create = mutation({
args: {
quizId: v.id('quiz'),
stepCount: v.number(),
},
handler: async (ctx, args) => {
const code = createCode();
const quiz = await ctx.db.get(args.quizId);
if (!quiz) return null;
if (args.stepCount > quiz.quizes.length) return null;
shuffle(quiz.quizes);
await ctx.db.insert('game', {

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
The error message you're seeing is indicating that the quizId you're passing to the create mutation does not match the expected table name in the validator. The validator is expecting an ID from the "game" table, but it's receiving an ID from the "quiz" table.
The issue seems to be in this line of your mutation:
quizId: v.id('quiz'),
This line is telling Convex to expect an ID from the "quiz" table. However, the error message suggests that Convex is expecting an ID from the "game" table.
If you're intending to pass an ID from the "quiz" table to the create mutation, then your validator is correct and there may be an issue elsewhere in your code.
However, if you're intending to pass an ID from the "game" table, you should change your validator to this:
quizId: v.id('game'),
This will tell Convex to expect an ID from the "game" table.
If you're still having trouble, I would recommend checking the rest of your code to ensure you're passing the correct IDs to your functions and that your validators are set up correctly.
For more information on adding validators to your functions in Convex, you can refer to the Convex documentation (https://docs.convex.dev/functions/validation#adding-validators).

@jade cloud why?
quizId type is Id<'quiz'>
const quiz = await ctx.db.get(args.quizId);

@jade cloud i don't know why validation is failed.
const gameId = await createGameMutation({
quizId: quiz._id,
stepCount: values.stepCount,
});
quiz._Id is type Id<'quiz'>
and
export const create = mutation({
args: {
quizId: v.id('quiz'),
stepCount: v.number(),
},
handler: async (ctx, args) => {
const code = createCode();
const quiz = await ctx.db.get(args.quizId as Id<'quiz'>);
if (!quiz) return null;
if (args.stepCount > quiz.quizes.length) return null;
shuffle(quiz.quizes);
await ctx.db.insert('game', {
code: code,
currentStep: 0,
status: 'lobby',
quizes: quiz.quizes.slice(args.stepCount).map((quiz) => ({
...quiz,
responses: [],
})),
quizId: quiz._id,
});
},
});
mutation args quizId type is v.id('quiz').
why v.id('game') validation error?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
The error message you're seeing is indicating that the quizId you're passing to the createGameMutation function does not match the expected table name in the validator. The validator is expecting an ID from the "game" table, but it's receiving an ID from the "quiz" table.
However, based on the code you've shared, it seems like your quizId should indeed be of type Id<'quiz'>, and your validator is correctly set up to expect this:
quizId: v.id('quiz'),
This line is telling Convex to expect an ID from the "quiz" table, which matches the type of quiz._id in your mutation call.
The error message you're seeing is unusual given this setup. It might be possible that there's a mistake in the error message, or there's some other part of your code that's causing this issue.
Here are a few things you could check:
- Make sure that
quiz._idis indeed of typeId<'quiz'>. You could logquiz._idbefore the mutation call to confirm this. - Check if there are any other places in your code where you're calling
createGameMutationwith aquizIdfrom the "game" table. - Make sure that the
createGameMutationfunction you're calling is the same one you've defined with thequizId: v.id('quiz')validator.
If you're still having trouble, it might be helpful to ask for help in the Convex Discord server (https://discord.com/channels/1019350475847499849/1252736010144448604), where you can get support from the Convex team and community.

ah i got it. in convex folder, i made create-code.ts util function. and i change file name to createCode.ts.
random spindle
@jade cloud how do i pass in args using CLI "db:fake": "bun convex run fake:createFakeTableData",
export const createFakeTableData = internalMutation({
args: { seed: v.number() },
handler: async (ctx, args) => {}
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
To pass arguments to your Convex function using the CLI, you can use the following format:
npx convex run fake:createFakeTableData '{"seed": 123}'
In your case, since you're using a custom script in your package.json, you can modify it to accept arguments like this:
"db:fake": "bun convex run fake:createFakeTableData"
Then, you can run it with arguments like this:
npm run db:fake -- '{"seed": 123}'
Note the use of -- to separate the npm script arguments from the arguments you want to pass to the Convex function.
This approach is based on the information from the Convex CLI documentation (https://docs.convex.dev/cli#run-convex-functions) and the Stack article on passing arguments to npm run commands (https://stack.convex.dev/npm-run-dev-with-package-scripts#passing-arguments-to-npm-run-commands).
Remember that the arguments should be passed as a JSON object, matching the structure defined in your args validator.
