Clicking the Sign In link via local adapter causes Beam.smp to max out my CPU

[That-David-Guy]

Hi

Locally, the following happens:

1. Click sign in
2. fill out sign in form, e.g. [email protected]
3. go to dev/mailbox
4. click 'Open preview in separate tab`
5. Click 'Sign In'
6. I've sign in to my app, BUT I also notice that my CPU process 'beam.smp' jumps to 100+% and stays there.

I was expecting my CPU not to jump at all.

No other action on my site seems to cause a CPU spike.

I'm not even sure how to go about debugging this? Do you have any ideas?

I'm following this blog post https://elixircasts.io/passwordless-authentication-with-veil .

My config.exs file:

If I comment out this line in session_controller.ex the CPU will not spike

# session_controller.ex file

  def create(conn, %{"request_id" => request_unique_id}) do
     # --
              # Commenting out the below line STOPS the CPU spiking
              Task.start(fn -> Veil.verify_user(user_id) end)
    # --

And checking the database, it looks like my user never actually verifies (the value in the verified column is FALSE)

@That-David-Guy If you check on verify_user function, the return value from Cachex wasn't correct.

def verify_user(user_id) do
    case get_user(user_id) do
      {:ok, user} ->  # <-- change user to {:ok, user} it will fix the issue with verifying user and resolve the process trap error.
        verify_user(user)

      error ->
        error
    end
  end
