[Solved] trouble deleting users | Appwrite | Page 1

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 3:40 PM

#

Hello I've been wondering if it's possible to delete a user from the Auth menu. I was able to write a cloud function that gets the uid and runs Users.delete(uid) doesn't delete the user in the Auth tab of the appwrite console. Would love to hear from other people more experienced

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 3:47 PM

#

What was the results of the Users.delete function?

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 3:49 PM

#

It says "user role: guests" "account required"

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 3:50 PM

#

Can you share the code of the function?

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 3:50 PM

#

I'm calling the function wrong I think. I'm using a http POST

#

Sure

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_dea66dc9-3a86-4767-b76c-93c36e41c225.jpg

#

That's the function I'm using dart for it

#

And here is how I'm sending the uid to it

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

What did you put inside the deleteUserFunctionId variable?

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_6e39fe8e-57f2-4e6c-a4b0-be22f92b4b59.jpg

#

The payload I was trying to send

#

I'm probably doing this all wrong and there's a simple way of passing the uid to the function

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 3:57 PM

#

pure oxide

This code is inside the App in your flutter project?

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 3:59 PM

#

The first one is a function folder I deployed and the second one inside my flutter app lib folder both are in my flutter project

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:00 PM

#

Okay, good

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:00 PM

#

Awesome

#

Not sure if the second one is right but I think the first one is since I followed the documentation for it

#

I just tried sending the uid string using http as a payload and I think that's the problem

#

Not sure how other appwriters send uids and other stuff to functions

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:03 PM

#

So you'll need to change a few things.

First you can if you want to use Appwrite flutter package (https://appwrite.io/docs/getting-started-for-flutter)

API Key
The API key let's you access Appwrite resource on a server level https://appwrite.io/docs/sdks#server
That's means that unless you have a very good reason for that you only use this key in server side code as your function.

Flutter
So, In your flutter code (App) when execution a function you should remove the X-Appwrite-key header.

Function
In your function I think that you'll need to to change the line 34 in which you're using the deleteUserFunctionId constant to delete_user_API one

#

Is this make sense?

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

Yup makes sense didn't know the header part and I think you're right about changing the deleteUserFunctionId to delete_user_API

#

Going to try them out now

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:08 PM

#

pure oxide Yup makes sense didn't know the header part and I think you're right about chang...

It can be confusing at start

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:08 PM

#

Just curious but if you know any other way of sending strings to a function and calling a function let me know

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:08 PM

#

Sure

#

You can add the flutter SDK in your pubspec

dependencies:
  appwrite: ^9.0.0

If you're using the cloud then add this version

dependencies:
  appwrite: ^8.1.0

#

Then you can use this code to execute the function

    Future result = functions.createExecution(
    functionId: '[FUNCTION_ID]',
  );

  result
    .then((response) {
      print(response);
    }).catchError((error) {
      print(error.response);
  });

You can see here more about it
https://appwrite.io/docs/client/functions?sdk=flutter-default#functionsCreateExecution

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:11 PM

#

Awesome I saw that in the documentation but I didn't know how to get the data from it in the function

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:12 PM

#

pure oxide Awesome I saw that in the documentation but I didn't know how to get the data fr...

You'll get in the results of the promise in the response variable

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:15 PM

#

So if I execute the function as Future result = functions.createExecution(
functionId: '[FUNCTION_ID]', data: '[USER_ID]'
);

#

I'd get the data from res

#

In the function

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:15 PM

#

Yes
But this way is in sync mode in you get your results in the then function

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

Okay gotcha. Do I have to do res.data or res.payload

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

You can run it also async (which is my preferred way) like so

try{
  final answer = await functions.createExecution(
    functionId: '[FUNCTION_ID]', data: '[USER_ID]'
  );
} catch (e){
  // handle error
}

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

I didn't know

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

pure oxide Okay gotcha. Do I have to do res.data or res.payload

No it will be inside the data

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:17 PM

#

Ohh

#

So I use res.data

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:17 PM

#

pure oxide So I use res.data

Where?
I think I've lost a bit

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:20 PM

#

No problemI'm probably confusing you. I know I can send data to the function but I don't know how to use that data for the Users.delete('[USER_ID]') when I use Future result = functions.createExecution(
functionId: '[FUNCTION_ID]', data: '[USER_ID]'
); you said it will be in the response and in the function I see req and res

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:20 PM

#

Ohh

#

Got you

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:20 PM

#

I thought maybe it would be res.data or maybe it's the same code I'm using now

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:20 PM

#

you mean in the function code?

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:20 PM

#

Yes

#

Does it need to change if I use the functions.createExecution()

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:21 PM

#

No
It should work the same

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

Ohh okay awesome

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

functions.createExecution is a convinced wrapper around Appwrite REST API

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

Ahhh gotcha

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

Switching to createExecution () is helping me narrow down the issue this is what it tells me

#

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:42 PM

#

Where you did you got this error?
In the function or in the App?

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:50 PM

#

In the app

#

Maybe if I make the function execute access for all/user/guests it will work?

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 4:52 PM

#

In your function remove the Guest option leave only the any and try again

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 4:52 PM

#

Okay

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

Damn it's still not working

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

What now?

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 5:43 PM

#

Same thing but when I do any for roles that should excute I don't get errors displayed but the execution fails and I can't delete

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

Good, No you can debug the function

#

What is the error you get there?

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

Maybe I shouldn't try making the function in dart

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

You can do it in any of the supporting languages Appwrite have

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

Doesn't show logs in the console

#

No errors just says failed

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 5:45 PM

#

All those tabs are empty?

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 5:46 PM

#

Yup all empty

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 5:46 PM

#

That means it crashes before

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 5:47 PM

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

You've set all your variables like so?

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

Oh boy

#

I think i found the problem

#

Those are in the function?

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

Yes, you need to set them in the functions settings

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

Oh boy

#

I think that's the problem

#

Wow

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

Go ahead and set them, then access each one of them using the req.variables['variable_name']

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 5:50 PM

#

Okay

#

Got it

#

Wow it worked and I finally got a completed instead of failed

      .setProject(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'])

#

Wow

#

Yup

#

Atleast now I know a 100 ways not to make an appwrite cloud function

#

Thank you for being patient

#

Weird thing is now it's failing

#

I'm trying to do the function without async because I remember you telling me "Yes
But this way is in sync mode in you get your results in the then function"

#

Nope nvm needs to stay async

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 6:22 PM

#

So what's falling now?

#

Is this your code?

import 'package:dart_appwrite/dart_appwrite.dart';


Future<void> start(final req, final res) async {
  final client = Client();


  client
      .setEndpoint(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'])
      .setProject(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID'])
      .setKey(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY']);

  final users = Users(client);

  try {
    final userId = req.payload;
    await users.delete(userId: userId);
    res.json({'message': 'User deleted'});
  } catch (e) {
    res.send('Error deleting user: $e', status: 500);
  }
}

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 6:25 PM

#

pure oxide Nope nvm needs to stay async

Eventually they will both work the same
Just imo async is more clear and easy to read.

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 6:29 PM

#

Yes this is my code. It went back to saying an internal curl error Error Msg operation timed out

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

Try this

import 'package:dart_appwrite/dart_appwrite.dart';


Future<void> start(final req, final res) async {
  final client = Client();


  client
      .setEndpoint(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'])
      .setProject(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID'])
      .setKey(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY']);

  res.json(req.variables);
  /*final users = Users(client);

  try {
    final userId = req.payload;
    await users.delete(userId: userId);
    res.json({'message': 'User deleted'});
  } catch (e) {
    res.send('Error deleting user: $e', status: 500);
  }*/
}

#

So you can verify that all the variables sets

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 6:31 PM

#

Okay

#

That was an awesome idea and I think I found the final problem 😀

#

For the endpoint this is what it looks like

#

Https://example.com/v1

#

Everything thing else looks fine

#

The brackets for the endpoint lol weird

#

Look

#

They do / instead of //

#

///

#

Let me take a picture

#

Discord messes it up

#

#

Not sure why the backslashes look like that

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 7:06 PM

#

I don't think the endpoint is the problem. Not sure what I'm doing wrong

undone lantern May 17, 2023, 7:07 PM

#

pure oxide

Is this your endpoint
Appwrite.test.org or you're using hosts file?

#

If so add setSelfSigned() to your client

  client
      .setEndpoint(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'])
      .setProject(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID'])
      .setKey(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY'])
      .setSelfSigned();

#

Then try again

pure oxide May 17, 2023, 11:40 PM

1.34

#

Is the version

#

Ran for 18 secs

pure oxide It failed again

I ran this exact code and it was successful and gave me a response:

import 'package:dart_appwrite/dart_appwrite.dart';

Future<void> start(final req, final res) async {
  try {
    final client = Client();

    client
        .setEndpoint(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'])
        .setProject(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID'])
        .setKey(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY'])
        .setSelfSigned();

    //res.json(req.variables);
    final users = Users(client);

    final userId =
        req.payload; // Assuming the userId is passed as the request payload
    await users.delete(userId: userId);
    res.json({'message': 'User deleted'});
  } catch (e) {
    res.send('Error deleting user: $e');
  }
}

so if you have this...it shouldn't fail...

#

can you share a screenshot of your deployments, executions, and settings (variables and timeout) pages

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 12:14 AM

#

Awesome glad it's just me. Here are all the screenshots

#

#

Didn't send one for the response logs because it's the same as the logs tab

#

I do have a real-time subscription running on the page that I'm trying to run the delete

#

Not sure if that could be it but at this point I'm pretty sure it's something simple I missed

#

Sorry for all the trouble guys

undone lantern May 18, 2023, 12:19 AM

#

Quite the opposite when finding the solution it can help in the future

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 12:19 AM

#

And how many real-time subscriptions is too much. Right now I'm using 2

undone lantern May 18, 2023, 12:19 AM

#

Can you share also the settings screen.

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 12:19 AM

#

Okay

#

And thank you

#

Here you go

#

#

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 12:26 AM

#

so if you comment out the await.users.delete(), it'll execute successfully?

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 12:27 AM

#

pure oxide

that's wierd those status circles are blue 👀

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 12:29 AM

#

I think I found the issue guys

#

#

I added dart to the function runtimes but not to the function envs

undone lantern May 18, 2023, 12:30 AM

#

It's okay

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 12:30 AM

#

Could that be it?

undone lantern May 18, 2023, 12:30 AM

#

The last one is deprecated

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 12:31 AM

#

Dammit

undone lantern May 18, 2023, 12:31 AM

#

Yeah, sorry

#

The problem is only between the function and the server it tries to connect.

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 12:31 AM

#

Damn

undone lantern May 18, 2023, 12:32 AM

#

Can you try what Steven suggested to run it without the user line
like so

import 'package:dart_appwrite/dart_appwrite.dart';

Future<void> start(final req, final res) async {
  try {
    final client = Client();

    client
        .setEndpoint(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'])
        .setProject(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID'])
        .setKey(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY'])
        .setSelfSigned();

    //res.json(req.variables);
    final users = Users(client);

    final userId = req.payload; // Assuming the userId is passed as the request payload
    // await users.delete(userId: userId);
    res.json({'message': 'User deleted'});
  } catch (e) {
    res.send('Error deleting user: $e');
  }
}

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 12:33 AM

#

Okay

#

Yup the code Steven sent works for me too Byawitz

#

Issue is when I try to call the Users.delete()

#

Will try to call it

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 12:38 AM

#

pure oxide Issue is when I try to call the Users.delete()

it still makes no sense...if an exception is thrown due to that, the catch should catch the exception and then we should see response logs 😵‍💫

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 12:40 AM

#

pure oxide Yup the code Steven sent works for me too Byawitz

are you executing the function from the console?

undone lantern May 18, 2023, 12:40 AM

#

I think we can add timeout to the await function and then dart should throw an error, maybe this will help debug the problem
Try this:

...
  await users.delete(userId: userId).timeout(const Duration(seconds: 1));
...

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 12:41 AM

#

undone lantern I think we can add timeout to the `await` function and then dart should throw an...

theoretically, a 2 minute timeout on the function should give it plenty of time to timeout. I used an invalid appwrite endpoint and it timed out after 1m resulting in:

undone lantern May 18, 2023, 12:42 AM

#

lunar moon theoretically, a 2 minute timeout on the function should give it plenty of time ...

Nice, got it.

undone lantern May 18, 2023, 12:44 AM

#

pure oxide

I think there is a way, some way to fix it.

#

Can you share a picture of the output of the command

docker ps -a

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 12:59 AM

#

I moved the delete button to a different page that doest use real-time to make sure that wasnt what was causing it

#

I'll try the timeout you told me Byawitz

#

Yeah Steven you're right by I think the Users.delete() is not working for some reason otherwise event works

#

Eveything

#

I'll try to run that command Byawitz on my server

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:03 AM

#

pure oxide Yeah Steven you're right by I think the Users.delete() is not working for some r...

one other thing you can try is disabling the firewall on your server

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:03 AM

#

Okay

#

How can I do that

undone lantern May 18, 2023, 1:04 AM

#

lunar moon one other thing you can try is disabling the firewall on your server

That was my way of thinking on it.

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:04 AM

#

pure oxide How can I do that

you can try byawitz's suggestion first

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:04 AM

#

I'm guessing most people have a way easier time deleting a user than this

#

Deployed his solution now and gonna try it

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:07 AM

#

undone lantern I think we can add timeout to the `await` function and then dart should throw an...

#

It completes

#

But future didn't

#

Completed in the duration time 1s

#

And Steven I'm not deploying it on the console but when I do I get the same error

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:08 AM

#

pure oxide Deployed his solution now and gonna try it

im also curious to try some other commands in the runtime container...would you try running this on the server?

docker exec -it [YOUR PROJECT ID]-[FUNCTION DEPLOYMENT ID] curl -k [YOUR ENDPOINT]/health/version

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:09 AM

#

Okay

#

Running that now

#

It looks paused not sure if that's normal

#

Had to cancel it

#

Doesn't show anything

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:18 AM

#

pure oxide It looks paused not sure if that's normal

what's paused?

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:20 AM

#

It's not paused anymore I finally got an output. It says " curl: (28) Failed to connect to appwrite.myurl.org port 443: Connection timed out

#

I guess curl is where my problems are?

undone lantern May 18, 2023, 1:21 AM

#

I think you should check the Firewall as Steven suggested

#

In what company is your server in?

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:22 AM

#

or what operating system is your appwrite instance running on?

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:22 AM

#

pure oxide It's not paused anymore I finally got an output. It says " curl: (28) Failed to ...

see i expected this kind of error from the function execution..i still have no idea why we weren't seeing any response

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:24 AM

#

Damn

#

Atleast I now know I didn't do anything wrong

#

I was feeling kinda down for not making it work

#

Maybe unrelated but when I deploy my function it doesn't give me the correct time it created the deployment

#

I usually deploy multiple times for it to show the right time

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:27 AM

what do you mean?

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

On the appwrite console when I do a new deployment the time created says I did it 20 mins ago instead of right now do I usually redeploy and the the time created is the current time

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:29 AM

do you mean in the inactive table?

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:31 AM

#

Yes

#

And it's probably unrelated

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:32 AM

#

pure oxide Yes

when you deploy, you should see something show up in the inactive table as it's building:

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:32 AM

#

You guys are awesome for helping

#

Yup that one I have no issues with

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:33 AM

#

Then, the updated at timestamp in the active section should update. and the build logs should show you the logs for the active deployment:

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:33 AM

#

Ahhh gotcha

#

I was always reading the inactive

#

But for the server test you told me to run I used the right deployment id

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:35 AM

#

so what operating system is your appwrite instance running on?

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:36 AM

#

It's on Ubuntu 20.04 x64

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:38 AM

#

pure oxide It's on Ubuntu 20.04 x64

try:

sudo ufw status

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:38 AM

#

Ok

#

Here to go

#

One says deny

#

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:41 AM

#

pure oxide

good. this confirms you have a firewall enabled. just for testing, you can disable it to see if it makes a difference. disable with:

sudo ufw disable

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:41 AM

#

Okay will do right now

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:41 AM

#

then you can try executing your function or that docker exec curl command

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:42 AM

#

I can later add an exception if this fixes it?

#

Cool

#

WOW it worked

#

Unbelievable

#

I would've never fixed that alone

#

You guys are awesome

#

How can I add firewall exceptions and what exceptions

#

I have no idea where to start

#

Thank you guys @undone lantern and @lunar moon

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:46 AM

#

pure oxide How can I add firewall exceptions and what exceptions

now turn firewall back on and allow your appwrite ports (I'm assuming it's 80 and 443):

sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw allow proto tcp from any to any port 80,443

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:46 AM

#

I feel like a pro at functions now

#

Okay

#

Will do that now

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:47 AM

#

pure oxide WOW it worked

this would have been 100000x easier if that function returned the error...which it really should have. i've run into this case before but the function always returned an error so we knew the request was being blocked

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:48 AM

#

Wow I guess my firewall was maybe even blocking the error from being return

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:49 AM

#

pure oxide Wow I guess my firewall was maybe even blocking the error from being return

maybe we needed a longer timeout 🤷🏼‍♂️

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:49 AM

#

Done

#

Maybe

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:49 AM

#

pure oxide Done

does the function still work?

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:50 AM

#

#

Let me make a new user and try

#

And I have a couple questions to ask that aren't related but I just wanna get to know appwrite more

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:51 AM

best to use separate #1072905050399191082 posts

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:51 AM

#

Okay will do

#

They aren't bugs

#

Don't worry

#

But I'll make separate support posts

#

The function failed with the exceptions I added

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:55 AM

#

pure oxide The function failed with the exceptions I added

huh?

lunar moon May 18, 2023, 1:55 AM

#

pure oxide

port should be 443

pure oxide May 18, 2023, 1:55 AM

#

Worked when I disabled the firewall again

#

Oops

#

How do I delete a port

#

I think I found out

#

Sudo udw delete

#

Followed by the number

#

Added the right port number

#

Yup works

#

Amd thank you guys
