Problem with user sign up "Empty reply from Server"

[gate3]

Issue Description

I have been using parse server for a while now and my sign up used to work. But recently, i tried creating a new user using the signUp method and it doesn't work. On my local development pc i am getting thi error

Empty reply from server

Steps to reproduce

My code is like this:

$user = new ParseUser();
            $user->setUsername($request->email);
            $user->setPassword($request->password);
            $user->set("name", $request->name);
            $user->set("organization_name", $request->org_name);
            $user->set("phone", $request->phone);
            $user->set("email", $request->email);
            //$user->set("emailVerified", false);
            $user->set("domain",$request->domain);
            $user->set("verification_code",str_random(40));
            $user->set("domain",$request->domain);
            $user->set('account_type',$sub_type);
            //use salt to get hash id, hash id was encrypted using the salt
            $user->set('user_role','admin');
            $user->set("searchable", strtolower($request->name));
            $user->set('first_time',true);

            $user->signUp(); 

The code seems to get stuck at signUp. I tried echoing and breaking after calling sign up but the code never gets there. No data is also saved in parse server.

Environment Details

• php 7.0
• php sdk version "parse/php-sdk" : "1.2.*"
• Windows 10
• laravel 5.x

while on development i am getting empty reply from server.

@gate3 getting an empty reply from the server can signify a # of issues. It's possible that the quantity of data/args you're putting together during signup may be too much. Have you tried just signing up the user, and then setting unique parameters to save once they have been signed up?

[gate3]

OK. let me try this and get back thanks. Actually, i was about to edit my post, the error has changed. When I try to signup now, i am getting Bad Request as the response.

[gate3]

Didn't work unfortunately. reduced to the bare minimum of just password and username still didnt work. The error is coming from ParseClient, on this line

 if (strpos($contentType, 'text/html') !== false) {
            throw new ParseException('Bad Request', -1);
       }

I investigated further and found out that, the problem comes from here

// send our request
        $response = $httpClient->send($url, $method, $data);

$response is empty

I have been able to solve this issue. turns out, the error was from a beforeSave function in cloud code for _User table. I am closing this issue now.

Glad to hear you resolved it! Just curious were you able to identify the issue from the information produced sdk-side or did you have to go digging to come across the issue on the server? Always want to make sure that the sdk is being relatively verbose when it comes to errors which would otherwise be difficult to find.
