Bug: Email verification Link Doesn't work

[leonkoech]

Description

Please note

• copy-pasting the link into the login link works
• Was tested on Chrome, Windows 11

After signing up for an account and receiving the email with the verification code, the link doesn't work. It returns an application error.

Steps to recreate

1. Sign up for an account with the signup secret
2. After receiving the email, click on the link on the email

Expected behavior

When a user clicks the link the page should load and verify the user

Browser and Device Information:

Browser: Chrome Operating System: Windows Device: Laptop

Follow-up

After testing with another account, the link seems to be working 😵‍💫

Let me know if I should close it

Thank you for testing this! It would certainly be problem if failure to verify via link is happening in some cases and not others (and I think this isn't the first time we've seen this in an end to end test) - so let's keep this open for now. If you could figure out anything about what differentiates those cases, that would be immensely helpful. In any case, I will try to reproduce this myself and investigate later on.

We spoke about this in Friday standup, could be related to #65

Current workaround is to only have a single DB running to avoid load balancing to the read-only replica and thus not allowing the write to save

Fix for this is #83 - closing
