`convex-test` could not find the "_generated" directory

Just installed convex-test and wrote a very simple test at the root of my /convex folder. Running it produces an error:

Error: Could not find the "_generated" directory, make sure to run `npx convex dev` or `npx convex codegen`. If your Convex functions aren't defined in a directory called "convex" sibling to your node_modules, provide the second argument to `convexTest`

Error: Could not find the "_generated" directory, make sure to run `npx convex dev` or `npx convex codegen`. If your Convex functions aren't defined in a directory called "convex" sibling to your node_modules, provide the second argument to `convexTest`

My _generated directory is present and my convex functions are all in /convex at the root of my project. Not sure what might be the issue....

Deleting users with Convex Auth

What's the best practice for deleting users when using Convex Auth? There aren't any examples in the docs, and removing only the row on the users table throws an error if you try to sign up with the same email.

Guarantees for the timing of scheduled functions

Hey folks, I've got a question regarding the timing of scheduled functions (not cron jobs). While the docs describe guarantees regarding how often they are retried I haven't seen details about guarantees on the timing. I was curious if there are guarantees that the functions will be invoked on time (or at least with minimal delay) unlike with some other services where I've experienced up to minutes of delays.

Redirecting unauthenticated users? Convex Auth + TanStack Router

Hi! Hopefully this is an easy one, but I'm new to both Convex, TanStack, and this is my first time ever setting up authentication! So trying to follow best pratices and reading but getting a little lost. I have a /settings route and I want to redirect unauthenticated users away to /signin. I found the docs in TanStack Router for how to set up a redirect on beforeLoad but I don't know how to check for isAuthenticated() using Convex Auth. Help? https://tanstack.com/router/latest/docs/framework/react/guide/authenticated-routes#redirecting...

Convex Auth - User maintenance

Does Convex Auth currently have the ability to perform User maintenance tasks (mutations) from an admin dashboard:- 1. Create user - ability to create a user without a password, Clerk does a good job of this in that you can create the user using Email and when the user logs on without a password (because they don't have one), they receive a magic link. The user will continue to log in this way until they create a password through their 'Manage account' functionality. 2. Update user - ability to change email or any of their profile (user) details....

Uptime monitoring

Any best practices or documentation for uptime monitoring with convex? I'd like to use for example betterstack to be able to ping my custom domain and notify me of any issues, but I cant find any documentation or examples on how it can be done, especially for the web socket endpoint. I'd prefer a standard /healthz endpoint to ping that returns 200 then it is alive and well

joinplayroom

I have to use joinplayroom and convex. The reason for each function call is 60 fps is expensive. Are you planning such functions of rooms as before without a database to make it cheaper?

Convex Auth on React Native (expo)

I'm trying to connect my convex backend to a react native app made with expo. This backend is already used by my ReactJS app which is external to this expo project. I simply want the two projects to share the same database. The problem I'm having is with the OAuth connection to Google. My current configuration of Convex *(env variables) * is designed to work with the web version. I can't find a solution allowing me to connect Google OAuth with Convex Auth without getting these errors: ...

How to easily update a single nested field?

Why does the dynamic of updating a top level field not apply to nested fields? For instance, why can't I do: ```ts await ctx.db.patch(doc._id, {...

schema validation conflicts too verbose

see screen recording for an example. Would be great if we could see a clearer diff on the conflicting fields vs a full print of the document and schema for a table (which can get very lengthy as you can see)

Client Bundle Size

Hi, I’m currently evaluating Convex to migrate from a Firebase SPA (Firestore flavor). I have a question about the size of the Convex client JS bundle. How much JS do browsers have to download before starting using Convex?...

[Convex Dashboard] Editing nested field (with union?) is causing an error

Hello team, I think there is an issue with the last Convex update: When I want to edit an union with nested fields in the dashboard (v.union(v.object(), v.object()) it reports an error, even if I respect the schema (in particular, even if I don't do any modification). Example of validator causing an issue: ```...

I noticed something with convex auth

So if a user signs up with email and password and logs out if another user tries to signs up with the same exact email and password it just signs them in automatically why?

As this product becomes more mature, it is important not to break things with the updates.

Updating to "convex": "^1.15.0", caused some cryptic error for me. And I spent some valuable time trying to figure it out. Rolling back and pinning to "convex": "1.14.0" took the error away. Same for "convex-helpers": "0.1.53", showing some error about no bin. Rolling back to "convex-helpers": "0.1.52", also took that error away. We ideally prefer not to pin packages, and have our CI do automatic updates and run test against them. This broke our CI. Thank you....
