Failure on user creation

[kostiag]

The following code results in:

Error generating response. ParseError { code: 101, message: 'Invalid username/password.' } code=101, message=Invalid username/password. - This is expected.

this I cannot figure out. it is almost as if the reason for 2nd failure is that it occurs right after first?
Removing the first failure allows creation to succeed.

That seems to be a problem with the logger that doesn't have write access to the logs folder.

[kostiag]

This is just a side effect. The real issue that causes write to fail is login request followed by create request which actually fails.

[flovilmart]

If you in locally on your machine, does it fail?

[kostiag]

running it as a bitnami installation on AWS. Have not tried locally. Just to make it clear running just second part: `request.post({
url: SERVER_NAME + '/parse/users',
json: {
username: username,
password: PARSE_USER_PASSWORD,
email: email,
emailVerified: true
},
headers: {
'X-Parse-Application-Id': PARSE_APP_ID,
'X-Parse-REST-API-Key': PARSE_API_KEY,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
})

works. This was a suggested solution for Auth0 and Parse integration which seemed to have worked at some point at least on parse.com.

I believe this is an implementation detail that would be better suited for stackoverflow. Also, please run it locally as you don't know what's in the image you deployed.

Can you run with VERBOSE=1 to gather the server logs?

[kostiag]

Yeah, I am thinking starting over... not sure what else to try at this point. Do not see anything in the logs, but will try VERBOSE, but something is not being releases given that works as 1 call and fails as 2 one after another.

[flovilmart]

but something is not being releases given that works as 1 call and fails as 2 one after another.

the server is fully stateless, the controls don't hold any state. I'm not sure what's going on for you. You should probably run it locally and with VERBOSE=1 to investigate further.

[kostiag]

FIGURED IT OUT! permission on log file creation were throwing and error that was causing server to shut down and miss the second call. Thank you.

kostiag,
Can you please share what you have actually did to fix this error ?

Thanks...

[kostiag]

so as reported in my original post I was getting errors while writing to log files. This was the cause of the future server errors. I changed permissions +w on log directory and/or log files.

[gate3]

I am still having this issue. I am hosting on heroku, what i noiced is that the logs folder doesn't exist at all when I do heroku run bash. Any suggestions on how to fix this.

@gate3 the issue was closed over a year ago. Please open a new issue
