Error: Getting this error message when the user tries to log in using OAuth2.

[debug] Processing with MyAppWeb.UserController.update/2
  Parameters: %{"id" => "undefined", "user" => %{"bio" => "bio", "email" => "email@gmail.com", "github_token" => "XXX", "github_uid" => "XXX", "image_url" => "https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com", "name" => "Name", "password" => "[FILTERED]", "username" => "username"}}
  Pipelines: [:api]

[debug] ** (Ecto.Query.CastError) deps/ecto/lib/ecto/repo/queryable.ex:348: value `"undefined"` in `where` cannot be cast to type :id in query:

from u in MyApp.Accounts.User,
  where: u.id == ^"undefined",
  select: u

This is the UserController.ex

def update(conn, %{"id" => id, "user" => user_params}) do
  user = Accounts.get_user!(id)

  with {:ok, %User{} = user} <- Accounts.update_user(user, user_params) do
    render(conn, "show.json", user: user)
  end
end

The issue, so far I can think of, is when the user logs in using third party app, the account is not created in the database first, instead it is directed to the update profile page in the front-end which is in React. Then when the user submits the update profile form, id is undefined and is not able to get_user!(id).

  • Do I modify update() ? Adding case statement?

    undefined -> create()
    id -> update()
    

    But in this case, "undefined" seems different from nil, but I don’t know how.

  • Do I modify get_user()? Without !.

  • Do I create check_user_id()?

  • Do I change the flow of the OAuth2 Authentication; create the user before redirecting to update profile page?

  • Do I make changes from front-end before passing the parameters?

  • What are some decent standard options?

Since the id param is coming in as ‘undefined’, I would have to guess that your issue is in your JavaScript somewhere

update should only be called once the user record exists. The front-end should call a create route when id is undefined.
