Account creation loop

[matthewfeickert]

At the moment (6dee9f6 or 2024-11-07 — not sure what is actually deployed) if I click the "Add Me" button on the https://maps.datascience.wisc.edu/open-source/ page

, go through the "Add Me To The Map!" page, and then fill out the "User Registration Form" with my NetID

I am then told that my account was created and I can sign in to add myself to the map. If I then click the "Sign In" button and try to log in with my NetID

I get a

No Account
You do not have a Open Source Community Map account yet. Please click the 'Add Me' button to create a new account.

error box

If I try to follow these instructions and do the "Add Me" section again I get a

User Validation Error
This user profile is not valid for the following reasons:

• The username "XXXXXXXX" is already in use.
  Please correct the form and resubmit.

and so am stuck and unable to add myself.

@amegahed Can you look at this in the next week?

It looks like the reason that you were unable to create a new account is because it appears that I may have manually created an account using your UW username back in the fall of 2023. I deleted your old account. Could you try going through the account creation process again?

@amegahed Things are still broken, but differently broken. I can create an account but then when I try to fill out a profile and save the account information

the "Save" button doesn't work

I can click it but nothing happens.
