Hi @real titan. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- The error message indicates that the userEntity field in your auth dictionary is expected to be an entity declaration type, but a string was provided instead. In Wasp, you need to declare a userEntity for all auth methods (social or otherwise). This field tells Wasp which Entity represents the user. Here's what the correct setup looks like:

app myApp {  
 wasp: {  
 version: "^0.13.0"  
 },  
 title: "My App",  
 auth: {  
 userEntity: User,  
 methods: {  
 google: {}  
 },  
 onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"  
 },  
}  
  
entity User {=psl  
 id Int @id @default(autoincrement())  
 //...  
psl=}

app myApp {  
 wasp: {  
 version: "^0.13.0"  
 },  
 title: "My App",  
 auth: {  
 userEntity: User,  
 methods: {  
 google: {}  
 },  
 onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"  
 },  
}  
  
entity User {=psl  
 id Int @id @default(autoincrement())  
 //...  
psl=}

In the above code, User is an entity, not a string. You should replace "User" with User in your auth dictionary. For more information, you can refer to the Wasp documentation on User Entity (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/social-auth/overview#user-entity). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @real titan, 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?

I'd advise going through Wasp's tutorial to get the hang of Wasp basics: https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/tutorial/create The issue you are facing here is that you are using strings instead of entity name e.g. "Note" vs. Note, the difference is in the quotes.
