[Error: User (role: guests) missing scope (account)]

[royal knot]

I am trying to create an account on the project am working on and it creates cause I could see the account on the Auth, but instead of it to push me to the home page after signing in or sign up, it shows this error
[Error: User (role: guests) missing scope (account)]

This is the appwrite.js file

import { Client, Account, ID, Avatars, Databases } from "react-native-appwrite";
export const config = {
endpoint: "https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1",
platform: "com.zido.flexfury",
projectId: "6662901b0020e12fba5d",
databaseId: "666293ff001d5704f3f7",
userCollectionId: "6662954c000d71580730",
storageId: "6662965c0037c6a4e833",
};
const client = new Client();

client
.setEndpoint(config.endpoint) // Your Appwrite Endpoint
.setProject(config.projectId) // Your project ID
.setPlatform(config.platform); // Your application ID or bundle ID

const account = new Account(client);
const avatars = new Avatars(client);
const databases = new Databases(client);

export const createUser = async (email, password, username) => {
try {
const newAccount = await account.create(
ID.unique(),
email,
password,
username
);

if (!newAccount) throw new Error("Account creation failed");
const avatarUrl = avatars.getInitials(username);
const session = await signIn(email, password);

if (!session) throw new Error("Sign in failed");

// Create a new document in the database for the user
const newUser = await databases.createDocument(
  config.databaseId,
  config.userCollectionId,
  ID.unique(),
  {
    accountId: newAccount.$id,
    email: email,
    username: username,
    avatar: avatarUrl,
  }
);

return newUser;

} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
throw new Error(error.message);
}
};

// Sign In
export async function signIn(email, password) {
try {
// Delete any existing session for the user
await account.deleteSession("current");

// Create a new session with email and password
const session = await account.createEmailSession(email, password);

return session;

} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
throw new Error(error.message);
}
}

This is what my code to submit looks like for both sign in and sign up

const [form, setForm] = useState({
username: "",
email: "",
password: "",
});

const submit = async () => {
if (!form.username === "" || !form.email === "" || !form.password === "") {
Alert.alert("Error", "Please fill in all fields");
}

setIsSubmitting(true);
try {
  const result = await createUser(form.email, form.password, form.username);

  router.replace("/home");
} catch (error) {
  Alert.alert("Error", error.message);
} finally {
  setIsSubmitting(false);
}

};

I’d guess that you’re calling the signIn() function here? Which is failing when you try to delete the session, because there’s no active session

BTW, you can wrap code in three backticks (```) in Discord for better formatting

[modest kettle]

FYI, it's best to wrap code in backticks to format a bit nicer. You can use 1 backtick for inline code (https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#code) and 3 backticks for multiline code (https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#syntax-highlighting).

Then what did yiu recommend i do pls

[modest kettle]

Please check if that delete sessions is throwing the error

[royal knot]

do u reccomend i remove it?

[modest kettle]

Probably, yes. That will throw an exception if someone who isn't logged in tries to log in

[royal knot]

well, if i create a new account , according to the code it should push me to the home page.
but its nt working, and the acct will be created in my appwrite auth dashboard

[modest kettle]

The create calls sign in which calls the delete sessions and would throw an exception

[royal knot]

so i should remove the delete session inside the signIn fuction?

[modest kettle]

Yes

[royal knot]

after i removed it, it did worked but another error came up

[modest kettle]

You said you don't show the sign in page if they're already signed in. Maybe something is wrong there

[royal knot]

Nah, its like this.
If you were to sign up , after clicking on the sign-up button it should push to home after creating the account.
Also
If you were to login after creating an acct, it should push to home page after clicking on the sign-in btn.

Now what i realise is that if i did remove the delete session inside the signIn function, it will work for some times, then it will now bring up this error of can not create a session when there is an active session once i now added the same removed ( delete session inside the signIn fuction) it will work.
So what did you suggest is happening and how to go about it

Its now 2 different error, one required me to remove the delete session and the other require me to add it

[sinful glen]

[Error: User (role: guests) missing scope (account)] this error occur when you try to get the current session, if no session was found this error will arise, so maybe your checking for the session before you login

[modest kettle]

Please share more of your code, particularly around the app start

[modest kettle]

Ya and this error is perfectly normal and expected if there is no session
