I don't know what's wrong here as I am passing a field of type Id<'users'> here. Below is my code:

export const pausePushNotifications = mutation({
  args: {
    actionType: v.union(v.literal('pause'), v.literal('unpause')),
    userId: v.id('users'),
  },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    if (args.actionType === 'pause') {
      await pushNotifications.pauseNotificationsForUser(ctx, {
        userId: args.userId,
      });
    } else {
      await pushNotifications.unpauseNotificationsForUser(ctx, {
        userId: args.userId,
      });
    }
  },
});

export const pausePushNotifications = mutation({
  args: {
    actionType: v.union(v.literal('pause'), v.literal('unpause')),
    userId: v.id('users'),
  },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    if (args.actionType === 'pause') {
      await pushNotifications.pauseNotificationsForUser(ctx, {
        userId: args.userId,
      });
    } else {
      await pushNotifications.unpauseNotificationsForUser(ctx, {
        userId: args.userId,
      });
    }
  },
});

I'd look at the dashboard to see what the ID j571cwsxpn17r8d4p7pkvdjdyh7gw31s corresponds to - I suspect it's in the notifications table, based on the error message

its a userId and I don't know how it can be in the notifications table when it does even have a userId column (also I checked in the dashboard too) I just emptied the notifications table, it still gives me the same error

I'd find whatever is trying to pass j571cwsxpn17r8d4p7pkvdjdyh7gw31s to socialMedia/pushNotifications:pausePushNotifications - the argument validation doesn't try to look up the ID - only checks that it's a valid ID for that table (has the right table metadata encoded in it)

I still can't seem to find out what the problem is 🤷‍♂️

If you can share more code so we can see where you're getting the id that you're passing that would help I've also seen folks compare an id from an error message like this to an id in their database visually and say they match, but on closer inspection they look very similar but aren't actually the same.

Try on the latest version - I put up a fix

Nishil FalduOP•3w ago

It works now, thank you so much for the fix!
