Implement function to throw error when channel name is not specified.

[sakshi-dhamija]

Currently, if we try to create a channel without giving any name to it, it will generate a string like # !members-Z8TBhk-SmUjX4WQbQVfLWPXySbfsHsIEFLpiL2aRNMY as Channel Name. Hence, implement the function to throw an error when name is not specified.

Can I work on this issue ? And also I am not able to sign in.

Hi @gurpreet-legend, yes you can take up this issue.
Regarding the sign-in problem, did you run both client and server before trying to sign in? Also, to get more clarity, open the developers' console to check the error message. If you still face the problem, let me know!

Yes, mam, I have run both client and server separately.
I am getting this error on the server-side, when I try to Sign in :
[SiteError: This method can only be used server-side using your API Secret, use client = stream.connect(key, secret);]

Okay, I understood the issue. You need to create an account on stream and add another file containing credentials (hidden on Github). I'll add the detailed steps in the Contributing guide for this.

Mam, please do update the Contributing.md file, as I have created my stream account as per your instructions

[sakshi-dhamija]

I have updated the readme for installation steps, which will clear your issue.

@secrashi mam, I have set up the environment variables as per your instructions but I am still getting these two errors on the server-side :
Error 1: StreamChat error code 2: QueryUsers failed with error: "Chat either expired or not activated. Check https://getstream.io/pricin at StreamChat.errorFromResponse (C:\Users\lostl\OneDrive\Desktoodules\stream-chat\dist\index.js:6147:15)

Error 2 :

And moreover, there was a redundant ads variable in the catch block in server/controllers/auth.js which was giving an error before, I removed that, it was not necessary right ?

Hi Gurpreet, Go to stream chat, open your app> chat>overview and add this link https://connect-intellect.herokuapp.com to webhooks, if the problem still occurs let me know:

Ya, that must have been added by mistake.
