Why do you have a .tsx file in convex?

Hi @lee I'm actually @Shane teammate for this project here is the repo for now https://github.com/AmadeusAnanto/chat-app.git this is the public version so I deleted the .env and workflow

a bit of detail, the error is from the latest branch (add-friend) when running the app from the old branch (just the layout) it was still fine

@No.one i don't see any functions (or a file called requests.tsx) in your convex/ directory, on any branch. can you help me find the code? i do see the .env file with secrets in it though 😛

ah... my bad😅 that's my bad too, i pushed an older version I just updated it and i re-confirmed it's the updated version

@No.one did you push it to the same repo? Which branch, main is stil empty except for a README

No.one•7mo ago

its in the add-friend branch

@No.one and @Shane what are you stuck on, is sounds like there's no user found. It looks like you're using webhooks to sync user events from Clerk. You might have missed this event? You might try deleting the user from clerk and doing the sign up flow again, and look in the logs to see if that Webhook event is being received from Clerk. Is this based on any template or video or tutorial? Wondering if it's missing a step

well from what we're understanding, we're currently stuck because clerk suddenly has error no user found we're confused before coding the add-friend feature, when it was just the layout, there was no problem for signup / sign in

yes we are still following a youtube tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmMHbLzQI98&t=6419s we'd been trying to rewatch and recode the add-friend part (since just layout has no problem) but we still ran to the user not found error so we thought it had something to do with the convex/ clerk connection itself

@No.one Have you tried deleting the user in Clerk and doing the flow again? Then look at the convex dashboard to see if the Clerk webhook is appropriately adding this friend.

we're confused before coding the add-friend feature, when it was just the layout, there was no problem for signup / sign in well from what we're understanding, we're currently stuck because clerk suddenly has error no user found

The way this works isn't that Convex reaches out to Clerk to ask for the user; instead, when the sign up flow happens a Clerk webhook makes an HTTP request to Convex.

ballingt•7mo ago

that's this step here

ballingt•7mo ago

And here's the point in the video where the author shows deleting the Clerk user and signing up again to check that the webhooks are working: https://youtu.be/WmMHbLzQI98?t=2745

ballingt•7mo ago

That's the next thing I would try, make sure that you see the user in the Convex. Here's the part where the author shows that user existing in the users tables in the Convex dashboard https://youtu.be/WmMHbLzQI98?t=2780 — that's the debugging I would do next.

@Shane can you open a separate support post for this? These aren't the same issue.
