```const identity = await ctx.auth.

const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();

const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();

isn't working for me. even when I am signed out, datas are being pushed to database, instead of throwing error

a little more context:

export const createFile = mutation({
    args: {
        name: v.string(),
    },
    async handler(ctx, args) {
        const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();
        if (identity === null) {
            throw new Error("Unauthenticated call to mutation");
        }

        await ctx.db.insert("files", {
            name: args.name,
        });
    },
});

export const createFile = mutation({
    args: {
        name: v.string(),
    },
    async handler(ctx, args) {
        const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();
        if (identity === null) {
            throw new Error("Unauthenticated call to mutation");
        }

        await ctx.db.insert("files", {
            name: args.name,
        });
    },
});

@Web Dev Cody mate i follow the exact procedure as you do, but its not producing same result

Web Dev Cody•12mo ago

also, my code I probably do

if (!identity) {
            throw new Error("Unauthenticated call to mutation");
        }

if (!identity) {
            throw new Error("Unauthenticated call to mutation");
        }

I'm not sure if identity will return null or undefined if the user isn't logged in I don't recall writing identity === null

oh right you didn't do the null part. Actually, first I went with what you wrote, then since it didn't work, I went to convex docs and tried going through stuff and found the null part, yet it doesn't work

Web Dev Cody•12mo ago

are you sure you are not logged in? like console log what identity is

ahaanOP•12mo ago

yeah I am not logged in, let me record a small clip

Web Dev Cody•12mo ago

you just need to add console.log(identity) and tell me what it prints out

ahaanOP•12mo ago

it doesn't print anything at all here is the entire code

import { ConvexError, v } from "convex/values";
import { mutation, query } from "./_generated/server";

export const createFile = mutation({
    args: {
        name: v.string(),
    },
    async handler(ctx, args) {
        const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();
        console.log("Identity", identity);
        if (!identity) {
            throw new Error("Unauthenticated call to mutation");
        }

        await ctx.db.insert("files", {
            name: args.name,
        });
    },
});

export const getFiles = query({
    args: {},
    async handler(ctx, args) {
        return await ctx.db.query("files").collect();
    },
});

import { ConvexError, v } from "convex/values";
import { mutation, query } from "./_generated/server";

export const createFile = mutation({
    args: {
        name: v.string(),
    },
    async handler(ctx, args) {
        const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();
        console.log("Identity", identity);
        if (!identity) {
            throw new Error("Unauthenticated call to mutation");
        }

        await ctx.db.insert("files", {
            name: args.name,
        });
    },
});

export const getFiles = query({
    args: {},
    async handler(ctx, args) {
        return await ctx.db.query("files").collect();
    },
});

check the logs in the convex dashboard or in your convex terminal also check if convex is failing to build due to a typescript error or something when I say "convex terminal", I mean go to vscode and click on your first terminal

ahaanOP•12mo ago

i just did that and no error pops up or no identity is being logged

Web Dev Cody•12mo ago

send me a screenshot of the terminal running npx convex dev

ahaanOP•12mo ago

okay I really feel embarrassed to say this, but I hadn't run the npx convex dev command. Now that I run it, its working totally fine. Sorry mate for troubling you and thank you very much for helping me I can't believe I forgot to run the command

Web Dev Cody•12mo ago

no worries, simply mistake glad you got it working!
