Cannot add new field to User entity

Just trying add a simple field called Settings which will be a Json? type, and when I run wasp db migrate-dev I gett an Error 'ext-src/server/scripts/usersSeed.ts(10,9): error TS2741: Property 'settings' is missing in type '{}' And I dont think I should be messing with the usersSeed.ts ...

Hi @Gwain. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- It seems like you're trying to add a new field to the User entity in your Wasp application. The error message you're seeing suggests that the new field settings you've added to the User entity is not being recognized in the usersSeed.ts script. When you add a new field to the User entity, you also need to make sure that this field is accounted for in any scripts or functions that create or manipulate User entities. In your case, it seems like the usersSeed.ts script is trying to create a User entity without providing a value for the settings field. Here's an example of how you might define the User entity with a settings field:

entity User {=psl  
 id Int @id @default(autoincrement())  
 settings Json?
 // Add your own fields below  
 // ...  
psl=}

entity User {=psl  
 id Int @id @default(autoincrement())  
 settings Json?
 // Add your own fields below  
 // ...  
psl=}

And here's how you might adjust the usersSeed.ts script to account for the new settings field:

// In usersSeed.ts
const user = {
  // ... other fields ...
  settings: {}, // Or whatever default value you want for settings
};

// In usersSeed.ts
const user = {
  // ... other fields ...
  settings: {}, // Or whatever default value you want for settings
};

Please note that the code snippets provided are just examples and might not work directly in your application. You'll need to adjust them according to your specific needs and the exact structure of your User entity and usersSeed.ts script. For more information on how to define entities in Wasp, you can refer to the Wasp documentation (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/email#2-add-the-user-entity). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Gwain, 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?

Great thank you! @kapa.ai where do I update the userSeed.ts file? I'm using openSaas.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- In the OpenSaaS project, the usersSeed.ts file is located in the src/server/scripts directory. You can find the file at this path: src/server/scripts/usersSeed.ts. You can open this file in your code editor and make the necessary changes to account for the new settings field in the User entity. Here's an example of how you might adjust the usersSeed.ts script to account for the new settings field:

// In usersSeed.ts
const user = {{
  // ... other fields ...
  settings: {{}}, // Or whatever default value you want for settings
}};

// In usersSeed.ts
const user = {{
  // ... other fields ...
  settings: {{}}, // Or whatever default value you want for settings
}};

That solved it! Thanks a million @kapa.ai . One last question. What's your favorite color?
