Function execution showing guest triggering but I'm logged in?

[slow cloud]

I tried to run a function from my app while logged in, it then errored out and says User(role: guests) doesn't have permission to do that

[steady lance]

Ya that means the client doesn't have a session

[slow cloud]

but

how?

my app brings me to the login/signup screen without a session

okay I'll rebuild it

[slow cloud]

okay so I'm currently logged in

yes I'm logged in, I just checked, there's a valid user account

is it because it's not being passed to the python script or?

[steady lance]

Oh the error is in your function? How are you authenticating in the function?

[slow cloud]

 client
      .set_endpoint(req.variables.get('APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT', None))
      .set_project(req.variables.get('APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID', None))
      .set_key(req.variables.get('APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY', None))
      .set_self_signed(True)
    )
    account = account.get()
    if account:
      print('Got account, trying to pull threads account')

I set the variables inside the appwrite.json

how do I set the execution?

[steady lance]

Account.get() doesn't work with an API key. If you want to do something as the user who executed the function, you need to use the jwt token from the built in variables

[slow cloud]

gotcha

so it'd be easier to just pass the object?

[slow cloud]

how do I set the execution variable in the appwrite.json? I can't seem to find anything decent on it

nvm found it

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75440112/how-to-write-appwrite-json-for-dart-with-function-that-has-execution-permissi

so

if I use an API key

I'm forced to make it "any"?

[steady lance]

What do you mean?

[slow cloud]

is that a security vulnerability or no because it requires the API key?

[steady lance]

What do you mean?

[slow cloud]

using an API key, which is the default way in the docs, it has to have guests & users to run it from the server, so I was wrong about any, is that right?

yeah

[steady lance]

An API key gives full access. If you want to do something on behalf of a user, you should use the built in JWT token

[slow cloud]

still getting this error

even though guests and users are in the scope

I click raw data and it shows me that but

[steady lance]

When is this error occurring?

[slow cloud]

in the function somewhere

oh

could it be because

client = Client()

  # You can remove services you don't use
  account = Account(client)
  avatars = Avatars(client)
  database = Databases(client)
  functions = Functions(client)
  health = Health(client)
  locale = Locale(client)
  storage = Storage(client)
  teams = Teams(client)
  users = Users(client)

I left that in there in case I needed it but

that's probably causing it, yes?

well it shouldn't in theory cause I'm still authenticating with the API key but

it's occuring in execution, also I noticed the await doesn't work

maybe because I used asyncx: true

[steady lance]

Sorry I really can't follow what you're trying to do and what's wrong

[slow cloud]

I'm trying to call a Python function from my client

basically when the user presses a button it's supposed to call this function

The function returns data back

[steady lance]

I don't understand where you're seeing this from

[slow cloud]

the Appwrite dashboard when the function executes it fails and shows that in the raw data

ayy my name is orange now

[steady lance]

Can you show more detail about that?

[slow cloud]

the only details I have is the following, I clicked logs on the first one and it says the second image, then I click raw data and I get the picture above

all it says in logs/errors is "internal runtime error"

the relevant section of my appwrite.json

[steady lance]

Your function is throwing an exception. Add a try/except to make sure it doesn't throw an exception
