Hi @ArDev. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Yes, it is okay to modify the
main.wasp
file. This file is your app's definition file and it defines the app's central components. It is a list of declarations, each of which defines a part of your app. You can modify it to configure your app, define routes, pages, and more. However, it's important to note that currently, Wasp doesn't support dynamically changing the main.wasp
file or splitting it into multiple .wasp
files. These features are still in the works.
However, you should avoid modifying any of the .wasp
folder files as your changes will get overwritten the next time you start wasp start
. If you need to customize the build process, you can provide your own custom Dockerfile
in the project root (the same folder where main.wasp
lives). Wasp will use it when building your server.

The import statement you've written in your
main.wasp
file seems to be incorrect. In Wasp, you define actions in the main.wasp
file and then provide the implementation in a separate JavaScript file. Here is the correct way to define an action in main.wasp
:
In the above code, search
is the name of the function that implements the action, which is located in the actions.js
file in the server
directory of the ext
folder.
Then, in your actions.js
file, you would define the search
function like this:
Please note that the context
argument contains useful information such as the authenticated user, Prisma client, and more.

Wasp has a built-in hot reloading feature. When you run
wasp start
, it launches the Wasp app in development mode and watches for any changes to .wasp
or files in src/
to automatically reflect in the browser. This means you don't have to restart the server every time you make changes to your codebase.
However, there have been some reports in the community about issues with hot reloading, particularly with UI file changes causing full app reloads. The Wasp team is aware of this and is actively working on a fix.
If you're experiencing issues with hot reloading, you might want to follow the progress on this issue on the Wasp GitHub page: https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1844

I believe the hot reloading issues are related strictly to WSL2 and having the project on Windows filesystem vs. the Linux filesystem.
@kapa.ai am I right?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, you are correct. There is a known issue with WSL2 where file changes are not detected when your project is located on the Windows filesystem. This affects the hot reloading feature of Wasp (and other frameworks as well).
The recommended workaround for this issue is to move your project into the Linux filesystem root directory when using WSL2. This will enable Wasp to detect changes in your project and trigger hot reloads. You will also likely notice an increase in performance compared to the Windows filesystem root directory.
Here is a useful link for more information on this issue: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4739

oh i see
@kapa.ai can i move my project into linux file system with just copy/paste?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, you can move your project into the Linux filesystem by copying and pasting it. However, you need to ensure that you're doing this from within the WSL2 environment. Here's a general guide on how you can do it:
1. Open your WSL2 terminal.
2. Navigate to the directory where your project is currently located. For example, if your project is on your Windows desktop, you can access it in WSL2 with the command
cd /mnt/c/Users/YourUserName/Desktop
.
3. Copy your project directory to your desired location in the Linux filesystem. For example, to copy it to your home directory, you can use the command cp -r YourProjectName ~/
.
Please replace YourUserName
and YourProjectName
with your actual Windows username and your project's name.
Remember, after moving the project, you should use a code editor running in the WSL environment to make changes to your project files. If you're using VSCode, you can do this by installing the Remote - WSL (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl) extension.

Perhaps try again in 15mins?@kapa.ai how do to api calls?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
In Wasp, you can make API calls using the
api
declaration. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Declare the API in Wasp: You can do this in your main.wasp
file using the api
declaration. For example:
2. Define the API's NodeJS implementation: This should be a NodeJS function that takes three arguments: req
(Express Request object), res
(Express Response object), and context
(an additional context object injected into the API by Wasp). For example:
3. Use the API from the client: You can use the API from your client by importing the Axios wrapper from wasp/client/api
and invoking a call. For example:
Remember to ensure that CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is enabled to use these APIs on the client side. You can do this by defining custom middleware for your APIs in the Wasp file.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The error message "Network Error" typically indicates that the client is unable to establish a network connection to the server. In this case, it seems like your client-side code is trying to make a request to
<http://localhost:3001/api/search-t
> but is unable to reach the server.
Here are a few things you can check:
1. Server is running: Make sure your server is running and listening on the correct port (3001 in this case).
2. Correct URL: Ensure that the URL you're trying to reach is correct. In this case, it's <http://localhost:3001/api/search-t
.> If your server is running on a different port or if the API endpoint is different, you'll need to update the URL accordingly.
3. Network issues: If your server is running and the URL is correct, there might be network issues preventing the client from reaching the server. This could be due to firewall settings, network configuration issues, etc.
4. CORS: If your client and server are running on different domains (which is the case here since they're on different ports), you'll need to ensure that CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is properly configured on the server. This allows the server to accept requests from different domains.
If you're using Wasp, you can define custom middleware for your APIs in the Wasp file to enable CORS. Here's an example:
This will apply the cors
middleware to all your APIs, allowing them to accept requests from different domains.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The error message "AxiosError: Request failed with status code 400" typically indicates a "Bad Request." This means that the server was unable to understand the request due to invalid syntax.
Here are a few things you can check:
1. Request Method: Ensure that you're using the correct HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) for your request.
2. Request URL: Make sure the URL you're trying to reach is correct and that the server has a route matching this URL.
3. Request Headers: Check if the server expects any specific headers and if they are included in your request.
4. Request Body: If your request includes a body (like in a POST or PUT request), ensure that it's correctly formatted and matches what the server expects. This could be a JSON object, form data, etc.
5. Query Parameters: If your request includes query parameters, make sure they are correctly formatted and expected by the server.
If you're using Wasp and have defined your API endpoints using the
api
declaration, ensure that your client-side code is correctly calling these APIs. You can use the api
object from wasp/client/api
to make requests to your server-side APIs.
If none of the above solutions work, you might want to look at the server logs or use a tool like Postman to manually send requests to your server and see the response.

this is how im importing import { api } from 'wasp/client/api'; and then use it through api.post(mycommand)
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, you're on the right track. In Wasp, you can use the
api
object from wasp/client/api
to make requests to your server-side APIs. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Import the api
object: At the top of your file, you should import the api
object from wasp/client/api
like you've done:
2. Use the api
object to make requests: You can use the api
object to make GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc. requests to your server-side APIs. For example, to make a POST request, you can do:
In the above code, replace '/my-endpoint'
with the path to your API endpoint and { key: 'value' }
with the data you want to send in the request body.
Remember to handle the promise returned by api.post()
using either .then()
and .catch()
, or async/await
.
3. Define your API on the server-side: On the server-side, you should define your API using the api
declaration in your main.wasp
file and provide a Node.js implementation for it. For example:
And in your src/apis.js
file:

@kapa.ai
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The error message you're seeing is related to CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing). This is a security feature that restricts how resources on a web page can be requested from another domain. In your case, your client-side code (running on
<http://localhost:3000
>) is trying to access a resource on your server (running on <http://localhost:3001
>), which is considered a different domain because it's on a different port.
To fix this issue, you need to configure your server to allow CORS from your client's domain. If you're using Wasp, you can do this by defining custom middleware for your APIs in the Wasp file. Here's an example:
This will apply the cors
middleware to all your APIs, allowing them to accept requests from different domains.
After adding this middleware, your server should include the Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header in its responses, which will allow your client-side code to access the server's resources.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Whether you should update the
main.wasp
file depends on the changes you're making to your project. Here are a few scenarios where you might need to update it:
1. Adding or updating entities: If you're adding new entities to your project or updating existing ones, you'll need to update the main.wasp
file to reflect these changes.
2. Adding or updating routes: If you're adding new routes to your project or updating existing ones, you'll need to update the main.wasp
file.
3. Adding or updating actions or queries: If you're adding new actions or queries to your project or updating existing ones, you'll need to update the main.wasp
file.
4. Updating Wasp version: If you're updating the version of Wasp you're using, you'll need to update the main.wasp
file to reflect the new version. For example, when migrating from Wasp 0.11.X to 0.12.X, you'll need to update the Wasp version field in your main.wasp
file to "^0.12.0"
.
5. Splitting main.wasp
file: Currently, Wasp does not support splitting the main.wasp
file into separate files. However, this feature is planned for a future update.
Remember to always test your changes thoroughly to ensure that everything is working as expected.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, when implementing middleware in a Wasp project, you will need to update the
main.wasp
file. This is where you specify the middleware configuration for your application.
Here's how you can do it:
1. Global Middleware: If you want to modify the middleware for all operations and APIs, you can do so in the main.wasp
file. Here's an example:
2. API-specific Middleware: If you want to modify the middleware for a specific API, you can do so in the main.wasp
file. Here's an example:
3. Per-Path Middleware: If you want to modify the middleware for all API routes under some common path, you can do so in the main.wasp
file. Here's an example:
Remember to also define the middleware functions in your server-side code (serverSetup.js
or apis.js
in the examples above).

----------------------
The error message you're seeing,
TypeError: middlewareConfig.use is not a function
, suggests that you're trying to call .use()
on middlewareConfig
, but middlewareConfig
is not an Express application instance.
In Wasp, you don't directly use .use()
to add middleware. Instead, you define a middleware configuration function that returns an array of middleware. Each middleware is an object with a name
and fn
(function) property.
Here's an example of how you can define a middleware configuration function:
Then, in your main.wasp
file, you can specify this function as the middlewareConfigFn
for your server:
This will apply the cors
middleware to all your server-side APIs.

----------------------
The error message
Route.post() requires a callback function but got a [object Object]
typically indicates that Express.js is expecting a callback function for handling a POST route, but it received an object instead.
In Wasp, when you define an API endpoint, you need to provide a function that handles the request. This function takes three arguments: req
, res
, and context
. Here's an example:
Then, in your main.wasp
file, you can define the API endpoint like this:
Make sure that the function you're importing from @src/apis
is indeed a function and not an object. If it's an object, you'll need to adjust your code to ensure that a function is being provided.

@kapa.ai Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! 📚
----------------------
The error message Route.post() requires a callback function but got a [object Object] typically indicates that Express.js is expecting a callback function for handling a POST route, but it received an object instead.
In Wasp, when you define an API endpoint, you need to provide a function that handles the request. This function takes three arguments: req, res, and context. Here's an example:
export const myEndpoint = (req, res, context) => {
// Your implementation here
};
Then, in your main.wasp file, you can define the API endpoint like this:
api myEndpoint {
fn: import { myEndpoint } from "@src/apis",
httpRoute: (POST, "/my-endpoint")
}
Make sure that the function you're importing from @src/apis is indeed a function and not an object. If it's an object, you'll need to adjust your code to ensure that a function is being provided.

Custom HTTP API Endpoints | Wasp
In Wasp, the default client-server interaction mechanism is through Operations. However, if you need a specific URL method/path, or a specific response, Operations may not be suitable for you. For these cases, you can use an api. Best of all, they should look and feel very familiar.
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, that could be the issue. When you define an API endpoint in Wasp, you should only export a single function that handles the request. If you're exporting multiple functions from the same file, you need to make sure that you're importing the correct one in your
main.wasp
file.
For example, if you have two functions in your apis.js
file:
You should import each one separately in your main.wasp
file:
If you're still having issues, please double-check your function exports and imports to make sure they match correctly.

If you have one function for the endpoint and another for the middleware, you should define them separately and then import them appropriately in your

file.
Here's an example:
In your apis.js
file:
In your main.wasp
file:
In this example, myMiddleware
is a middleware function that will be applied to the myEndpoint
API endpoint. The middlewareConfigFn
field in the api
declaration is used to specify middleware for that specific API endpoint.
Remember that the middleware function should call next()
to pass control to the next middleware function in the stack. If the current middleware function does not end the request-response cycle, it must call next()
to pass control to the next middleware function, otherwise the request will be left hanging.

----------------------
The error message
TypeError: modifiedMiddlewareConfig.values is not a function
suggests that you're trying to call .values()
on modifiedMiddlewareConfig
, but modifiedMiddlewareConfig
does not have a .values()
method.
In Wasp, modifiedMiddlewareConfig
is a Map
object that contains your middleware configuration. The Map
object in JavaScript does have a .values()
method, which returns a new iterator object that contains the values for each element in the Map
object in insertion order.
If you're seeing this error, it could mean that modifiedMiddlewareConfig
is not a Map
object. You might be dealing with a plain JavaScript object or some other data type that does not have a .values()
method.
Here's an example of how you can iterate over the values in a Map
object:
If modifiedMiddlewareConfig
is not a Map
object, you'll need to adjust your code accordingly. For example, if modifiedMiddlewareConfig
is a plain JavaScript object, you can use Object.values()
to get an array of its values:
Please double-check your code to make sure you're using the correct methods for the data types you're working with.

@kapa.ai what is the point in middleware
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Middleware in web development is software that acts as a bridge between an operating system or database and applications, especially on a network. It's essentially a hidden translation layer that sits in the middle of the request-response cycle, processing HTTP requests and responses.
In the context of Wasp and other web frameworks, middleware serves several key purposes:
1. Request Processing: Middleware can modify the request object, the response object, or the application's control flow. For example, it can add properties or methods to the request or response objects, or it can end the request-response cycle and send a response to the client.
2. Modularity: Middleware functions are typically small and focused, each doing one specific task. This makes them easy to test, maintain, and reuse.
3. Flexibility: Middleware functions can be plugged into the application's control flow wherever they are needed. They can also be stacked, meaning that you can use multiple middleware functions at the same time, each doing a different task.
4. Control Over Flow: Middleware functions have full control over the request and response objects, and they can decide whether to pass control to the next middleware function in the stack or to end the request-response cycle.
In Wasp, middleware can be used for various tasks such as logging, parsing request bodies, handling cookies, and implementing CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing). Wasp also allows you to customize middleware at a global level, per API, or per path.

Yes, using
api.post
is absolutely fine. In fact, it's the recommended way to make HTTP requests in a Wasp application.
The api
object you're importing from 'wasp/client/api'
is a pre-configured instance of axios
. It's set up to make requests to your server, and it includes support for sending and receiving authentication tokens.
Here's an example of how you can use api.post
:
This will send a POST request to the /api/search

----------------------
I'm sorry to hear that you're still encountering the CORS issue. This can be a tricky problem to debug because it involves both the server and the client.
Here are a few more things you can try:
1. Check Your Middleware Configuration: Make sure that your middleware configuration function is correctly set up and is being used by your server. You should see the console log message 'webhookCallbackMiddlewareFn: Swap express.json for express.raw' when your server starts. If you don't see this message, it means that your middleware configuration function is not being used.
2. Check Your CORS Configuration: If you're restricting which origins are allowed in your
cors
configuration, make sure that the origin of your client is included in the list. The origin should match the domain, scheme, and port of your client. For example, if your client is running on <http://localhost:3000
,> your CORS configuration should allow this origin.
3. Check Your Client Code: Make sure that your client code is correctly set up to make requests to your server. If you're using the api
object from 'wasp/client/api'
, you should be able to make requests to your server without having to worry about CORS, because the api
object is pre-configured to handle CORS.
4. Check Your Server Code: Make sure that your server code is correctly set up to handle requests from your client. If your server is not correctly set up to handle CORS, it might not send the necessary Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header in its responses.
5. Check Your Network: Sometimes, network issues or firewalls can interfere with CORS. Try running your client and server on the same machine to see if the problem persists.
If you're still encountering the issue after trying these steps, it might be helpful to provide more information about your setup. For example, what versions of Wasp, Node.js, and other relevant software are you using? What does your client code look like? What does your server code look like? This information can help others to better understand your problem and provide more specific advice.

----------------------
I'm sorry to hear that you're still encountering CORS issues. The
api.post
method from 'wasp/client/api'
should indeed handle CORS correctly, as it's pre-configured to do so.
However, CORS is a browser mechanism that prevents requests to different origins, and it's handled at the server level. Even though the api
object is set up to handle CORS, the server also needs to be correctly configured to accept cross-origin requests.
Here are a few more things you can check:
1. Server-side CORS Configuration: Ensure that your server is correctly set up to handle CORS. This typically involves setting the Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header to the origin of your client. In Wasp, you can do this by adding a CORS middleware to your server configuration. Here's an example:
This will add the cors
middleware to your server configuration, which will add the necessary Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header to your server's responses.
2. Check the Network Tab in Developer Tools: Open the developer tools in your browser and go to the Network tab. Find the request that's causing the CORS error, click on it, and check the Headers tab. Look for the Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header in the response headers. If it's not there, or if it doesn't match the origin of your client, that's likely the cause of the CORS error.
3. Check for Server Errors: Sometimes, a server error can cause a CORS error. If there's an error in your server code, the server might not send the correct response headers, which can cause a CORS error. Check your server logs for any errors.
If you're still encountering the issue after trying these steps, it might be a good idea to ask for help on the Wasp Github Discussions (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/discussions) or Wasp Discord server (https://discord.gg/rzdnErX). The Wasp community and maintainers are usually very helpful and might be able to provide more specific advice.

Your code seems to be correctly set up for handling CORS. You have the

definition.
However, if you're still encountering CORS issues, it could be due to some other factors. Here are a few things you can check:
1. CORS Configuration: The cors()
function can take an options object to customize its behavior. If you're not passing any options, it will allow requests from any origin. If you need to restrict which origins are allowed, you can do so by passing an options object. For example:
This will only allow requests from <http://localhost:3000
.>
2. Server Setup: Make sure that your server is correctly set up to use the middleware configuration function. In your main.wasp
file, you should have something like this:
3. Client Code: Make sure that your client code is correctly set up to make requests to your server. If you're using the api

Yes, your
api
configuration in the main.wasp
file looks correct. You have correctly imported the function search
from @src/server/main/actions.js
and set it as the function for the searchApi
. You have also correctly set the HTTP route to (POST, "/api/search")
and imported the searchMiddlewareConfig
function for the middleware configuration.
However, if you want to apply the searchMiddlewareConfig
globally to all your APIs and operations, you should include it in the server
field in your main.wasp
file like this:
If you don't include the server
field, the searchMiddlewareConfig

----------------------
CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) issues typically occur when a web application tries to make a request to a server that's on a different origin (domain, scheme, or port) than the web application itself. The error message you're seeing indicates that the server at
<http://localhost:3001
> is not sending the necessary Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header in its response to the preflight request from the origin <http://localhost:3000
.>
Here are some possible reasons for CORS issues:
1. Server Configuration: The server needs to include the Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header in its responses. This header tells the browser which origins are allowed to access the server's resources. If this header is missing, or if it doesn't include the origin of the web application, the browser will block the request.
2. Preflight Requests: Some types of requests (like POST
requests with a JSON body) trigger a preflight request. This is an automatic OPTIONS
request sent by the browser to check if the server will allow the actual request. If the server doesn't respond correctly to the preflight request, the browser will block the actual request.
3. Middleware Configuration: If you're using Express.js or a similar framework, you might need to use middleware to handle CORS. For example, the cors
middleware in Express.js can be used to automatically add the Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header to responses.
4. Network Issues: Sometimes, network issues or firewalls can interfere with CORS. If the server's response is modified or blocked by a network issue or firewall, the browser might not receive the Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header.
5. Browser Extensions: Some browser extensions can interfere with CORS. If you have any extensions that modify requests or responses, try disabling them to see if that resolves the issue.
To resolve your issue, you need to ensure that your server is correctly set up to handle CORS. This typically involves adding the cors
middleware to your server configuration and ensuring that it's correctly set up to handle preflight requests.
Here's an example of how you can add the cors
middleware in Wasp:
This will add the cors
middleware to your server configuration, which will add the necessary Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header to your server's responses.

In most cases, you don't need to manually handle preflight requests. If you're using Express.js or a similar framework with the
cors
middleware, it will automatically handle preflight requests for you.
Here's an example of how you can add the cors
middleware in Wasp:
This will add the cors
middleware to your server configuration, which will automatically handle preflight OPTIONS
requests. It will send a response with the necessary Access-Control-Allow-Origin
, Access-Control-Allow-Methods
, and Access-Control-Allow-Headers
headers, which tell the browser that it's allowed to make the actual request.
If you need to handle preflight requests manually for some reason, you can do so by adding a handler for OPTIONS
requests. Here's an example:
This will respond to any OPTIONS
request with the necessary CORS headers. However, this is usually not necessary if you're using the cors
middleware.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
It seems like you want to replace the
express.json
middleware with express.raw
for a specific route in your Wasp application. This is typically done when you want to handle raw, binary data in your request bodies, instead of JSON data.
Here's how you can do this in Wasp:
In this code, webhookCallbackMiddlewareConfig
is a function that modifies the middleware configuration for a specific route. It removes the express.json
middleware and adds the express.raw
middleware.
You can then use this function in your api
definition in the main.wasp
file:
This will apply the webhookCallbackMiddlewareConfig
function to the webhookCallbackApi
, so requests to /api/webhookCallback
will be handled with express.raw
instead of express.json

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
In Wasp, the development server uses two ports by default: 3000 for the client (frontend) and 3001 for the server (backend). This is hardcoded and currently cannot be changed to use a single port.
However, there is an open issue on the Wasp GitHub repository to make it easy to use different ports during Wasp development. This includes the ability to manually specify different ports or have Wasp dynamically search for open ports. You can follow the progress of this issue here (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/730).
If you have a process running on port 3000 or 3001 that is causing conflicts, you can terminate that process and then run
wasp start
again. If you're on a Unix-based system, you can use the fuser
command to kill the process running on a specific port:
After running these commands, you should be able to start your Wasp app without any port conflicts.

CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) issues can occur due to several reasons, even if you have set up the
cors
middleware. Here are a few possible reasons:
1. Middleware Order: The order in which middleware is applied in Express matters. The cors
middleware should be applied before any other middleware that needs to handle CORS. If it's not, the necessary CORS headers might not be set correctly.
2. Incorrect Configuration: The cors
middleware might not be configured correctly. For example, the origin
option in the cors
middleware determines which origins are allowed to access the server's resources. If this option is not set correctly, you might still encounter CORS issues.
3. Preflight Requests: Some types of requests (like POST requests with a JSON body) trigger a preflight request. This is an automatic OPTIONS request sent by the browser to check if the server will allow the actual request.

The code you provided seems to be incorrect. In Wasp, the
server
field of the app
declaration is used to configure the behavior of the server. It should be a dictionary with the fields setupFn
and middlewareConfigFn
, not an array of middlewares.
Here's how you can correctly configure the server in your main.wasp
file:
In this code, serverSetup
is a function that will be executed on server start. This function is expected to be async and will be awaited before the server starts accepting any requests.
If you want to configure middleware, you should use the middlewareConfigFn
field:
In this code, myMiddlewareConfigFn
is a function that modifies the middleware configuration for the server.

The error message you're seeing is from React Query, a library used for fetching, caching, and updating asynchronous data in React. The error is saying that the data returned from a query with the key
auth/me
is undefined
.
In Wasp, the auth/me
endpoint is used to check the current authentication status of the user. If the user is authenticated, it returns the user's session data. If the user is not authenticated, it returns a 401 Unauthorized
status code.
The error could be due to several reasons:
1. The server is not returning any data: If the server doesn't return any data for the auth/me
endpoint, React Query will throw this error. Make sure your server is correctly set up to handle the auth/me
request and return the appropriate data.
2. The server is returning an error status code: If the server returns a 401 Unauthorized
status code, the client might interpret this as the server not returning any data, causing React Query to throw this error. You might need to adjust your client code to correctly handle this status code.
3. The query function is not returning any data: If the query function you're using with React Query doesn't return any data, React Query will throw this error. Make sure your query function is correctly set up to return the data from the auth/me
request.
Without more information about your setup, it's hard to provide a more specific solution. However, you might find it helpful to review the Wasp authentication docs (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/guides/auth) and the React Query docs (https://react-query.tanstack.com/overview) for more information.

The error message you're seeing is related to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS). This is a mechanism that uses additional HTTP headers to tell browsers to give a web application running at one origin, access to selected resources from a different origin.
Here are some possible solutions:
1. Add CORS Middleware: In Wasp, you can add the
cors

requests and add the necessary Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header to your server's responses. Here's how you can add the cors

If the server doesn't respond correctly to the preflight request, the browser will block the actual request.
5. Check Server Response: Make sure your server is correctly set up to handle the request and return the appropriate response. The server should include the Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header in its response.
6. Check Network Issues: There might be issues with your network that are preventing the request from reaching the server. Try checking your network connection and firewall settings.

The error message you're seeing is from Axios, a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. The error message
AxiosError: Network Error
typically means that the request could not be made due to issues with the network.
Here are some possible reasons for this error:
1. Server is not running: Make sure that your server is running and listening on the correct port.
2. Incorrect URL: The URL you're trying to reach might be incorrect. Check the URL and make sure it's correct.
3. Network Issues: There might be issues with your network that are preventing the request from reaching the server. Try checking your network connection and firewall settings.
4. CORS Issues: If you're making a request to a different origin, you might be running into Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) issues. Make sure your server is set up to handle CORS.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, issues can arise with POST and GET requests related to authentication in certain scenarios. Here are a few possibilities:
1. Incorrect Credentials: If the credentials provided in a POST request to an authentication endpoint are incorrect, the server will respond with an error. This could be a
401 Unauthorized
status code, indicating that the provided credentials are not valid.
2. Session Expiry: If a user's session has expired, a GET request to an endpoint that requires authentication could fail. The server might respond with a 401 Unauthorized
status code in this case.
3. CORS Issues: Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) issues can occur when making POST or GET requests to an authentication endpoint from a different origin. The server needs to be correctly configured to handle CORS.
4. Server Errors: If there's an issue on the server-side (like a database error), POST and GET requests to authentication endpoints could fail.
5. Misuse of Endpoints: As discussed in the Github Issue - Discuss how we use authentication (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/566), using the same endpoint for checking whether the user is authenticated and for retrieving the session can lead to issues. If the endpoint returns an error when the user is not authenticated, this could be interpreted as a client-side error, even though it's part of the client's regular procedure for determining whether the user has a session.
6. Browser Behavior: As mentioned in the Discord support thread: Auth kicking out (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1217167281612656751), certain browser behaviors, like switching between tabs, can cause unexpected logouts if the authentication status is not handled correctly.
Remember, the exact issues and their solutions can vary depending on the specifics of your application and its authentication setup.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, it's possible that authentication-related POST and GET requests could cause CORS issues for other APIs. Here's why:
1. CORS Configuration: If your server is configured to only allow CORS for specific routes (like your authentication routes), then other routes (like your other APIs) might not have the necessary CORS headers, causing browsers to block requests to those routes.
2. Preflight Requests: Some types of requests (like POST requests with a JSON body) trigger a preflight request. This is an automatic OPTIONS request sent by the browser to check if the server will allow the actual request. If the server doesn't respond correctly to the preflight request, the browser will block the actual request. This could be happening with your other APIs.
3. Authorization Headers: If you're setting an
Authorization
header for your authenticated requests, and your server is not configured to allow this header in CORS requests, then browsers will block requests that include this header. This could be affecting your other APIs if they also require authentication.
To resolve these issues, you'll need to ensure that your server is correctly configured to handle CORS for all necessary routes, not just your authentication routes. This includes responding correctly to preflight requests and allowing necessary headers.
In Wasp, you can configure CORS by defining custom middleware for your APIs in the Wasp file. Here's an example:
This will add the cors
middleware to your server configuration, which will automatically handle preflight OPTIONS
requests and add the necessary Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header to your server's responses.

Sorry @ArDev, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?
