Omg it’s finally fixed

I finally fixed the bug that I addressed in my last devlog. This was so frustrating. I never expected that this would take me 2hrs and I would write a whole devlog on it 💔.

The bug was that when I was logging in I was being redirected to /signup after signup, login or login as guest. I had made so that after signing up or logging in the user would be redirected to course page. I had also made it so that if the user value is null then the user would be redirected to the sign of page. So now you can see that where this is going. I just couldn’t simply figure out why the user value was null. After doing so much thinking and reading the code and trying to fix the bug, I have finally succeeded.Another issue that I was facing during the working was I was constantly forgetting what I was doing and to see everything visually I used excalidraw as you can see in the picture.

So there were three things that was leading to this bug. Firstly, I wasn’t using the await keyword while calling the api functions. Secondly, I didn’t have a loading state while fetching the user’s data. Lastly, the function getUser function responsible for fetching the user data wasn’t even being called when redirected to course page. The function  was only being called when the user first loaded the website.

Right now, my head is aching now I think I should take some rest. I didn’t remember to add loading state which was so silly of me. I only realized that after visiting my old project. Seeing that I felt dumb because ofc you would need a loading state while fetching the user data from backend. I feel a little relieved now 😮‍💨. I cannot even remember properly all the things that I tried to solve this. It was just a mess 😩.

After solving the bug, now looking back, it wasn’t that difficult to solve. It was just a me problem. I could write more on this but I’m too tired for this now. Okay biee..👋
