Thank you!
it also creates the rows on the database
This should be a better error message, but it usually means your
JWT_PRIVATE_KEY env var isn't the right format -- the start of mine looks something like -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- MIIEvg
You can check the value in the Convex dashboard or via npx convex env list.Also sometimes re-running the Convex Auth setup script (https://labs.convex.dev/auth/setup#run-the-initialization-command) and saying "yes" when it asks you if it should generate new keys can help
Set Up Convex Auth - Convex Auth
Authentication library for your Convex backend
using the cli command fixed everything up thank you
