the account in this stacktrace is already confirmed - note is_confirmed: true and confirmation_token: nil - not sure if errors on the edge case of trying to confirm a confirmed account are an issue?

FloatingGhost, hi thanks for the reply. No. I'm not trying to confirm a confirmed account.

Steps to reproduce:

You register for a new account.
It sends a verification email.
You click the link in the verificaton email to activate account and the browser says internal server error.

I tried on the version I created the issue about, I tried it on the latest tag, and the development versions. Each of them gives the same error when you try to confirm a freshly signed up account.

It gives an internal server error in browser, and the stack trace in the backend. Even though it says internal server error, it still does seem to confirm the account.

FloatingGhost, hi thanks for the reply. No. I'm not trying to confirm a confirmed account. Steps to reproduce: 1. You register for a new account. 2. It sends a verification email. 3. You click the link in the verificaton email to activate account and the browser says internal server error. I tried on the version I created the issue about, I tried it on the latest tag, and the development versions. Each of them gives the same error when you try to confirm a freshly signed up account. It gives an internal server error in browser, and the stack trace in the backend. Even though it says internal server error, it still does seem to confirm the account.

but your stack trace shows a confirmed account - again, note the is_confirmed field
I can't replicate the issue either

Yes, that's the bug. Account is just freshly created. You receive an activation link. You click the link to activate/confirm account, and it crashes.

I'm definitely not trying to confirm a confirmed account.

There literally is nothing in the code handling this endpoint even attempting to coerce a user into a string:

   def confirm_email(conn, %{"user_id" => uid, "token" => token}) do
     case User.get_cached_by_id(uid) do
       %User{local: true, is_confirmed: false, confirmation_token: ^token} = user ->
         case User.confirm(user) do
           {:ok, _} ->
             redirect(conn, to: "/")
           {:error, _} ->
             json_reply(conn, 400, "Unable to confirm")
         end
       %User{is_confirmed: true} ->
         json_reply(conn, 400, "Already verified email")
       _ ->
         json_reply(conn, 400, "Couldn't verify email")
     end
   end

Either

The ID resolves to a valid user, who is local and not yet confirmed and matches the token. Then confirming is attempted:
- if confirmation successful, we redirect *(without rendering any user info)
- if confirmation fails, we return a static error message
The ID resolves to a valid user, who is already confirmed. Then we return a static error message
The ID resolves to any other valid user or no user at all. Then we return a static error.

If anything goes wrong it would need to be during confirmation itself *(but this too is rather simple code), or during the post_registration_actions which send out emails etc. I cannot reproduce the issue though, neither can FloatingGhost and if the sissue was in post_registration_actions many more instances should be affected. Plus your stacktrace misses the most important bit displaying a puzzling nofile instead. As is I’m afraid it’s impossible to help you (and unlikely for it to be a wider issue).

To try and restore your setup to a sane state and maybe at least get a proper stacktrace you could try the following to wipe any custom modifications or stale compilation caches; then try again:

# stop the instance, then in the repo root
# run everything below making sure every _individual_ command succeeds!
$ rm -fr _build deps
# assuming origin is the remote pointing at https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma.git
$ git fetch origin
$ git reset --hard origin/develop
$ git clean -fdx -- lib/ test/ priv/ static/
$ export MIX_ENV=prod
$ mix deps.get
$ mix deps.compile
$ mix compile
$ mix ecto.migrate
# now you can start the instance again

Side note: posting password hashes and email addresses for a user as you’ve done in the OP is generally not a good idea; you’ll want to redact those in the future.

After doing your instructions I no longer get an error when trying to verify a new user.

Those are not real hashes or email addresses. I already took care to make sure they were fake when filing the bug.

splendid, seems like either a bugged compile cache and/or some unintentional modification to the source was the culprit then
