I tried login-in to the website and it gave me errors -

If you have once created your account, a session is created in cookies for the same so you can't re-register unless and until that is cleared. Although it seems like an error but it is the general flow according to Appwrite.

If you have a better suggestion on how to streamline this functionality, please propose otherwise I will mark it as close

The thing is i tried login - in too thinking that my account is created but going to the login section it sent me the message no account found and i need to register

You can go through the codebase but I don't think there is an issue. If you find any key component, please raise here or in Discord

Previously application was supporting old version of appwrite, that's why method written in auth api file was working fine. But someone might have upgraded the appwrite, so package.json contains upgraded version of appwrite. Appwrite have different methods for latest version. It's doesn't support createEmailSession() method, but support createEmailAndPasswordSession() and updateRecovery() have 3 parameters not 4 in upgraded appwrite. After these 2 modification application is working fine for me.

If I remember correctly, I have removed the dependency updation in package.json so that it will be version locked. Can you confirm whether the current package.json in the master branch has the old version or the new version?

my appwrite version is 14 and master branch on the repo is 13. But its working in my system. May be if you locked the version and someone made some modification, which is only supported by latest version of the app

Ohh, thanks for the update. I think we can close this issue then? What's your call?

[ArtiGaund]

If issue is resolved then close it. This issue was not raised by me.
