The ctx.storage.getUrl() method is marked as deprecated, but Convex docs provide no alternatives

The storage serve docs direct the use of ctx.storage.getUrl(), but my IDE says the function is deprecated. https://docs.convex.dev/file-storage/serve-files What, then, is the best practice for accessing stored file data?

My attempts to run `convex dev` fail to deploy code changes

When I run npx convex dev -v --tail-logs, I get output about skipped files (the usual suspects about multiple dots and stuff in convex/_generated), and a raft of Preparing convex/** messages, but that's it — no messages about deployment. Over in the dashboard, no updates in my Development deployment instance.

Trouble using useQuery and convexQuery with queries that use ctx.auth.getUserIdentity()

So, like it says on the tin — I am unable to use the standard useQuery() (from convex/react) or the @convex-dev/react-query package's convexQuery() functions to call query() functions in my Convex API that check ctx.auth.getUserIdentity() as an auth guard mechanism. In other places in my nextjs project (server actions), I can invoke such query functions by adding a third argument with an auth token, like this:

import { auth } from '@clerk/nextjs/server';
import { fetchQuery } from 'convex/nextjs';

const token = (await auth().getToken({ template: 'convex' })) ?? null

const someResult = await fetchQuery(
  api.messages.getLatest,
  { limit: 30 },
  { token }       // <------ clerk auth token
);

import { auth } from '@clerk/nextjs/server';
import { fetchQuery } from 'convex/nextjs';

const token = (await auth().getToken({ template: 'convex' })) ?? null

const someResult = await fetchQuery(
  api.messages.getLatest,
  { limit: 30 },
  { token }       // <------ clerk auth token
);

Am I using the wrong approach for auth guarding the query funciton? Or is there some different mechanism for passing a token to the useQuery() and convexQuery() functions?

How to handle errors with the `usePaginatedQuery()` React hook?

Greetings, all 👋 I'm brand-new to the discord community, and also in fact somewhat new to Convex (two months, and overall pleased)… So, my question: I'm using usePaginatedQuery() to load realtime chat messages powered by Convex, and am seeking guidance on error handling. I've always got an eye towards error handling which is "extra-strength" when it comes to anything involving network operations 😉 but am finding a lack of any mention in the usePaginatedQuery() docs about error handling of any kind (in fact the only in-page search result for the string "error" highlights the API reference link in the docs nav 😅 ). For convenience: https://docs.convex.dev/database/pagination So I'm wondering: are there any best practices that either end-users or even Convex team members have found to be especially useful and effective? And, to piggy-back with a (100% relevant, at least!) feature request for the team: please consider adding an error key to the hook return value.
