Code: 'TokenInvalid'

[fickle estuary]

I keep getting the code TokenInvalid ive reset my token and put it into my .env file and it still does not work.

oops forgot to press node.js category

[wanton bison]

do you load the env file into the process environment?

[fickle estuary]

How do i do that. im kinda new to coding in general

[wanton bison]

well, you use dotenv, so yes, you do

what does your ..env file look like?

[wanton bison]

console.log(process.env.token) logs the token?

(above the login call)

[fickle estuary]

like this?

[wanton bison]

aye

[fickle estuary]

when i do npm run test still the same error

[wanton bison]

does it print the token?

[fickle estuary]

nope

looks like it tried

[wanton bison]

then it didn't load the file

[fickle estuary]

oh.

How do i do that...

[wanton bison]

well, require("dotenv").config() should do that, provided you placed the .env file in the project root folder

[fickle estuary]

i placed it into functions\handlers

lemme take it in src folder

nvm the functions\handlers are in the src folder

[wanton bison]

the .env file is the relevant bit, should be in the project root, where your package json and stuff is

[wanton bison]

.env file [...] where your package json [...] is

[fickle estuary]

there

'

[wanton bison]

try to log process.env instead

also move the dotenv config stuff to the top

right after the other requires

[wanton bison]

there we go

[fickle estuary]

thank you for the help!

[wanton bison]

that was the secret bit, btw

[fickle estuary]

yeah thats why i didnt show the whole token...

[wanton bison]

doesn't matter, the first bit is the user id of the owner

[fickle estuary]

oh... ok

now i know that

[fickle estuary]

ah ok i understood half of that.

[wanton bison]

that's more than enough

[fickle estuary]

Lol

[wanton bison]

everything up to the first dot isn't really a secret, everything after that is - is what it boils down to
