user create "Save failed: there was a database error" after reset
I reset my dev database using "wasp db reset" but now I am unable to create new accounts! I get a server-side error:
"Argument id for data.id is missing" from "prisma.user.create"

Hi @cmilazzo. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the information provided, it seems like there might be an issue with your database schema or the way you're trying to create a new user. The error message "Argument id for data.id is missing" from "prisma.user.create" suggests that the
id field is not being provided when you're trying to create a new user.
In Wasp, when defining an entity, the id field is usually auto-generated. For example, in the dummy entity provided in one of the knowledge sources, the id field is defined as follows:
Here, @id denotes that this field is the primary key, and @default(autoincrement()) means that Prisma will automatically provide a unique value for this field when a new record is created.
If you're trying to manually provide an id when creating a new user, you might be encountering this error because the id field in your User entity is not set to accept client-provided values.
If you're not providing an id and expecting it to be auto-generated, but still encountering this error, there might be an issue with your database schema or the wasp db reset command might not have completed successfully.
You can try to run wasp db migrate-dev to ensure your dev database corresponds to the current state of your schema. If the problem persists, you might want to check your schema definition and the way you're calling prisma.user.create.
Unfortunately, without more specific information about your User entity definition and the way you're trying to create a new user, it's hard to provide a more precise answer.

Sorry @cmilazzo, 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?@kapa.ai I'm expectin the id to be auto-generated. I tried running wasp db migrate-dev but it found no differences. My User entity is defined as follows: model User {
id String @id

}
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
@kapa.ai The error is coming from this file: "wasp/out/sdk/wasp/auth/utils.ts"

The issue seems to be with the
id field in your User entity. In your current schema, the id field is of type String and is marked as @id, which means it's the primary key. However, you haven't provided a way for Prisma to generate a unique value for this field when a new record is created.
In Wasp and Prisma, if you want the id to be auto-generated, you should use the @default directive with either uuid() or autoincrement(). The uuid() function can be used with fields of type String and autoincrement() can be used with fields of type Int.
Here's how you can modify your User entity to auto-generate a UUID for the id field:
After making this change, you should run wasp db migrate-dev again to apply the changes to your dev database.

Based on the information provided, it seems like the error is originating from the Wasp SDK's auth utilities. However, without more specific information about the error message or the context in which it's occurring, it's hard to provide a precise solution.
The wasp/out/sdk/wasp/auth/utils.ts file is part of the Wasp SDK, which is generated during the build process. If there's an error in this file, it might be due to a problem with the build process or the way the SDK is being used in your code.
Here are a few things you could try:
1. Rebuild your project: Run wasp build to regenerate the SDK and other build artifacts. This might fix the issue if it was caused by a problem with the previous build.
2. Check your usage of the SDK: Make sure you're using the SDK's auth utilities correctly in your code. For example, if you're trying to use a function that doesn't exist or passing incorrect arguments to a function, that could cause an error.
3. Update Wasp: If you're using an older version of Wasp, updating to the latest version might fix the issue. You can update Wasp by running npm install -g wasp.
If none of these suggestions help, please provide more information about the error message and the context in which it's occurring. That will help in diagnosing the problem and suggesting a solution.

Perhaps try again in 15mins?I think you need to have an autogenerated field on the
User entity:
I think it should be a feature of Wasp to tell you that it requires that on the @id field.
