Help understanding 'Validator error: Expected ID for table...'

I'm afraid I don't follow... Wouldn't the subsequent .get() for the referenced ID also throw that error?

Help understanding 'Validator error: Expected ID for table...'

Because it seems like if id is a legitimate ID, it will return the Doc and if it's not, it will throw an error.

Help understanding 'Validator error: Expected ID for table...'

I don't think the code helps. It's a pretty abstract question. Basically I'm trying to understand why calling ctx.db.get(id) would ever return null.

getAuthUserId behaves oddly

I think I've solved my question. I sort of instinctively started filling in withIdentity({ _id: 'foo' }) but what I should have done is withIdentity({ subject: 'foo' })

Convex Auth - reset password when logged in

Email update is a little bit more of an issue, and probably a GDPR liability as emails are basically PII by definition. Granted, I know that's what "Beta" means, but consider this my formal request to say "Pretttttty pleeeeasseeee". I'll see if I can make a PR, but the whole benefit of using something like Convex is a bit about not having to re-build this sort of typical functionality myself. For me, password reset is of course a "nice to have" rather than "core feature" but my project isn't an authentication provider 😛

Convex Auth - reset password when logged in

For now I'll probably actually just disable the reset page I built entirely because indeed I imagine 99% of the time password resets are going to come from users who forgot their password, not ones who are signed in and decided to change it.

Convex Auth - reset password when logged in

That's a bummer but I appreciate the response! I am kind of surprised though as it seems like this is such basic functionality that it would have been like literally the very next thing built after adding password sign in. I would consider it a necessary feature to call password authentication "ready to release", not "feature rich." Seems shocking its not on the roadmap especially since Convex auth is new, not like, sunsetting or phasing out or whatever.

Convex Auth - reset password when logged in

I have this issue too. I want authenticated users to be able to change their email or password while logged in.

Huh, that fixed it it seems. I guess it sets all those env vars in the prod environment if you run it with the --prod flag?

This one? npx @convex-dev/auth --prod I don't recall, so I gave it a try and all my files looked as the wizard said they should.

Nice, that looks very sensible. Thanks for sharing!

How to re-organize api structure?

That's not really practical IMO. It will make a single file hundreds and hundreds of lines long.

Convex Auth: How to add custom data to signIn() (or up)

Which I guess could be a workaround right now, but the documentation seems to suggest this is not needed and in later when using the inferred types it would be nice to not have | undefined for username and the visibilities :/
