POST /api/action 404 in 510ms
trying to implement auth with convex, my app is next.js, i'm following a youtube tutorial (AI notes app), and at the end of the auth section, running the signin page and getting this:
POST /api/action 404 in 510ms
what does that mean, and how to resolve? my convex is running in the background, convex.dev looks green...

Do you know where the call to /api/action is originating? Almost seems like CONVEX_SITE_URL is being used somewhere that CONVEX_URL is expected
Or is /api/action an intentional path to an http action registered in convex/http.ts? Not familiar with the tutorial so any code you can share may shed light.
@erquhart , thanks!
when you hit the sign in button, there is a call to signIn, destructured from useAuthActions, that is imported from
import { useAuthActions } from "@convex-dev/auth/react";
that call is causing a post request on /api/action, but physically there is no such folder.
some files that might be relevant:
auth.ts:
import { convexAuth } from "@convex-dev/auth/server";
import { Password } from "@convex-dev/auth/providers/Password";
export const { auth, signIn, signOut, store, isAuthenticated } = convexAuth({
providers: [Password],
});
http.ts
import { httpRouter } from "convex/server";
import { auth } from "./auth";
const http = httpRouter();
auth.addHttpRoutes(http);
export default http;
auth.config.ts
export default {
providers: [
{
domain: process.env.CONVEX_SITE_URL,
applicationID: "convex",
},
],
};
.env.local
CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT=dev:xxxx
NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL=https://xxxxx.convex.cloud
NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL=http://localhost:3000
I can see that process.env.CONVEX_SITE_URL does not exist in my .env, but the tutorial said "it's fine".
NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL is defined twice
Guessing the second one is being honored
But the first one is the correct one
now that i look at it... i have 2 env variables with the same name!
yes, you're right
/api/action is a call from convex auth to your .cloud deployment url
ok, got it, let me try
That last env var should probably be
SITE_URL or NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL
(the one that localhost is assigned to)wonderful, it works now!
thank you so much!
