SKIP_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_IN_DEV=true not working

I just upgraded my project to 0.15 and I'm trying to use SKIP_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_IN_DEV=true in my .env.server file, but it still asks me to verify on dev

---------------------- Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can offer some insights about the SKIP_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_IN_DEV environment variable in Wasp. However, it's important to note that there isn't specific information about issues with this feature in version 0.15 or any known bugs related to it not working as expected. According to the Email Verification Flow documentation (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/email#email-verification-flow), the SKIP_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_IN_DEV environment variable should allow you to skip the email verification step in development mode. Here's how it should be set in your .env.server file:

SKIP_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_IN_DEV=true

SKIP_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_IN_DEV=true

This setting is meant to be useful during development to avoid going through the email verification flow every time you sign up. Since you're experiencing an issue where it's still asking for verification despite setting this variable, here are a few things you could check: 1. Make sure the .env.server file is in the correct location (root of your Wasp project). 2. Verify that you've restarted your development server after making changes to the .env.server file. 3. Double-check that you're using the email authentication method in your main.wasp file, as this feature is specific to email authentication. If you've confirmed all of these and the issue persists, it's possible that there might be a bug or a change in behavior in version 0.15 that isn't documented in the provided knowledge sources. In this case, you might want to: 1. Check the Wasp GitHub repository for any recent issues related to this feature. 2. Reach out to the Wasp community on their Discord channel for more immediate support. If the problem continues, consider reporting it as a potential bug to the Wasp development team. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @fs, 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 yea i've confirmed that step 1 - 3 have been done

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Thank you for confirming that you've checked steps 1-3. Given that the issue persists despite following these steps, it seems that there might be an undocumented problem or a potential bug in Wasp version 0.15 regarding the SKIP_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_IN_DEV feature. Since the knowledge sources don't provide any information about known issues with this feature in version 0.15, I would recommend the following steps: 1. Check the Wasp GitHub repository (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp) for any recently reported issues related to email verification in development mode or the SKIP_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_IN_DEV setting. 2. If you don't find any relevant issues, consider opening a new issue on the GitHub repository to report this potential bug. Provide details about your setup, Wasp version, and the steps you've taken to troubleshoot. 3. Reach out to the Wasp community on their Discord channel (https://discord.com/invite/rzdnErX) for more immediate support. The developers or other community members might have encountered similar issues or have additional troubleshooting steps that aren't documented yet. In the meantime, as a workaround, you might need to manually verify email addresses in your development database or temporarily modify the auth logic to bypass verification for testing purposes. However, be cautious with any workarounds and make sure not to push such changes to production. I apologize that I can't provide a direct solution based on the available information. This seems to be a case where the behavior doesn't match the documented functionality, which suggests it might be a new issue introduced in the latest version. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @fs, 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?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I understand your frustration, but don't worry! Software development often comes with challenges, and it's normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes. While I'm specifically tuned to answer questions about Wasp, I can't directly address your emotional state. However, I can suggest a constructive approach to your technical issue: 1. Take a short break to clear your mind. 2. When you're ready, consider reaching out to the Wasp community on their Discord channel (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/686873244791210017). The developers and other community members are often very helpful and might have encountered similar issues. 3. If you haven't already, you could also open an issue on the Wasp GitHub repository (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp) to report the problem you're experiencing with the SKIP_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_IN_DEV setting. Remember, every problem has a solution, and the Wasp community is there to support you. Don't hesitate to ask for help! ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @fs, 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? Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can suggest a few ways to manually verify email addresses or bypass verification for testing purposes in your Wasp development environment. Here are some options: 1. Use the Dummy email provider:
The Dummy email provider (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/advanced/email#using-the-dummy-provider) is designed for development use and doesn't actually send emails. Instead, it logs them to the console. This can help you bypass the email verification step during development. To set it up, add the following to your main.wasp file:

   app myApp {
     ...
     emailSender: {
       provider: Dummy,
     }
   }

   app myApp {
     ...
     emailSender: {
       provider: Dummy,
     }
   }

Note that this provider is not for production use and will cause the build to fail if used in a production environment. 2. Modify your custom sign-up action: If you're using a custom sign-up action (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/email#creating-a-custom-sign-up-action), you can modify it to automatically set the user's email as verified during development. Here's a snippet you could add to your sign-up function:

   const newUserProviderData = await sanitizeAndSerializeProviderData<'email'>({
     hashedPassword: args.password,
     isEmailVerified: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development', // Set to true in development
     emailVerificationSentAt: null,
     passwordResetSentAt: null,
   })

   const newUserProviderData = await sanitizeAndSerializeProviderData<'email'>({
     hashedPassword: args.password,
     isEmailVerified: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development', // Set to true in development
     emailVerificationSentAt: null,
     passwordResetSentAt: null,
   })

3. Manually update the database: You can use wasp db studio to open a GUI for your database and manually set the isEmailVerified field to true for your test users. Remember to be cautious with these workarounds and ensure they're only used in your development environment. Don't push these changes to production. If you're still having issues or need more specific guidance, I recommend following the advice from the previous answer and reaching out to the Wasp community on their Discord channel (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/686873244791210017) or reporting the issue on the Wasp GitHub repository (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @fs, 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?

how can i do this @kapa.ai

In the meantime, as a workaround, you might need to manually verify email addresses in your development database or temporarily modify the auth logic to bypass verification for testing purposes. However, be cautious with any workarounds and make sure not to push such changes to production.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the knowledge sources and our previous conversation, I can provide you with a few methods to manually verify email addresses or bypass verification for testing purposes in your Wasp development environment: 1. Use the Dummy email provider:
The Dummy email provider (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/advanced/email#using-the-dummy-provider) is a great option for development. It doesn't actually send emails but logs them to the console, effectively bypassing the email verification step. To set it up, add this to your main.wasp file:

   app myApp {
     ...
     emailSender: {
       provider: Dummy,
     }
   }

   app myApp {
     ...
     emailSender: {
       provider: Dummy,
     }
   }

This method is safe for development but will cause build failures if used in production. 2. Manually update the database:
You can use Wasp's database studio to manually set email addresses as verified: 1. Run wasp db studio in your terminal to open the database GUI. 2. Find the user(s) you want to verify. 3. Set their isEmailVerified field to true. This method allows you to verify specific users without changing your code. 3. Modify auth logic (for custom sign-up actions):
If you're using a custom sign-up action, you can modify it to automatically verify emails in development:

   const newUserProviderData = await sanitizeAndSerializeProviderData<'email'>({
     hashedPassword: args.password,
     isEmailVerified: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development', // Automatically verify in development
     emailVerificationSentAt: null,
     passwordResetSentAt: null,
   })

   const newUserProviderData = await sanitizeAndSerializeProviderData<'email'>({
     hashedPassword: args.password,
     isEmailVerified: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development', // Automatically verify in development
     emailVerificationSentAt: null,
     passwordResetSentAt: null,
   })

This approach automatically verifies emails in development but maintains normal behavior in production. Remember to be cautious with these workarounds. They should only be used in your development environment and never pushed to production. If you're still experiencing issues or need more specific guidance, I recommend reaching out to the Wasp community on their Discord channel (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/686873244791210017) or reporting the issue on the Wasp GitHub repository (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @fs, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.
