What's the appwrite version?

And the SDK version?

[ocean current]

all Last version

when i send request to /account/sessions/email
the response dosn't have target expired

[clever nexus]

I tried to replicate it and it worked as expected 🤔 😓

This appwrite instance had any other version installed previously?
Like 1.6.0 or 1.5.11?

[ocean current]

how i can know ?

i installed it using docker

in ubuntu server

[clever nexus]

Have you manually updated that server before?
Or is it a recent clean install?

[ocean current]

it is a recent clean

i buy server, domain then insatll appwrite using docker

[ocean current]

is there something in .env should set it like session limit to get expired (true, false) ?

[clever nexus]

I think not

[clever nexus]

Are you creating a target or similar?

Could you check in the console if that user has a target?

[ocean current]

no i just use
Future<void> login(String email, String password) async {
await widget.account.createEmailPasswordSession(email: email, password: password);
final user = await widget.account.get();
setState(() {
loggedInUser = user;
});
}

[clever nexus]

Okay, open the console, go to the Auth, select the user and then open the targets section

It should have at least one target that is the email

[ocean current]

yes it's have

[clever nexus]

Okay, just to confirm, try creating another user (can be a fake user with a fake email) and then try to login with those credentials.

Confirm if the problem persist with that new user

[ocean current]

same ))

[ocean current]

the response map not have expired. throw error (Unhandled Exception: type 'Null' is not a subtype of type 'bool')
i think this is because of server

[clever nexus]

@ocean current You're using appwrite 1.6.0?

[ocean current]

how i can know ?

[clever nexus]

In the console, check the footer

[ocean current]

yes it's 1.6.0

[ocean current]

yes

and you ?

[clever nexus]

Okay, looks like appwrite 1.6.0 is not adding the expired param.
Consequently, you need to use the previous SDK version or upgrade your appwrite instance

[clever nexus]

1.6.1

[ocean current]

how i can update ?

[clever nexus]

https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/self-hosting/update

Make sure to have working backups before proceeding

Also, note that self-hosting requires mainteneance (apart from backup and upgrading appwrite) like upgrading docker, ubuntu, etc. 😅

In case you're new to server administration/management 🙂

[ocean current]

Fortunately, I don't have any data now. 😂

[clever nexus]

Make sure to make backups frequently when you have data

Tell me if upgrading the appwrite version solves the issue

[clever nexus]

In this command you need to change the appwrite version to 1.6.1

[ocean current]

Ok. i will tell you just a moment

[ocean current]

thanks bro it's working now ❤️

And when update. I did not lose data

[clever nexus]

Great! I'm marking this as solved then 🙂
