Error when creating admin account

Hello. I've setup new manifest project, and when going to the admin panel, it is asking to make a new admin account. However, when I try to create an account /signup is ruturning the following:

[{
    "target": {
        "email": "me@test.com",
        "password": "<hashed password>"
    },
    "children": [],
    "constraints": {
        "unknownValue": "an unknown value was passed to the validate function"
    }
}]

[{
    "target": {
        "email": "me@test.com",
        "password": "<hashed password>"
    },
    "children": [],
    "constraints": {
        "unknownValue": "an unknown value was passed to the validate function"
    }
}]

Running the latest version of manifest, and I created the project just using: npx add-manifest Nothing is showing in the console:

❯ npm run manifest

> my-manifest-project@0.1.0 manifest
> node node_modules/manifest/scripts/watch/watch.js

I'm using NodeJS 22.13.1 Could anyone offer some guidance on what I have done wrong, or some troubleshooting steps?

Hello @Chris Kacerguis, KJ5DJC ! I could not replicate your issue. Can you tell me your OS ? Is it Windows ? What you can do is run npm run manifest:seed to seed the database and a default admin user, and return to the admin panel. If it does not work it may be related to file permissions as Manifest uses by default SQLite which is a DB that is file-based, maybe giving more permissions to the project folder can make it work. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm using MacOS - 15.5 (24F74), let me try and see what I can find (I did not see the DB) Hello! So I was able to get in...but, dumb question. I don't want to seed any data. How do I go about setting up an empty DB? thank you for your help. I also tried to set "seedCount: 0" for my properties, however it is still "seeding" 50 Setting a seedCount: 1 seems to work, and I can go in and delete those seeds but, in a production environment, this seems problematic. Perhaps a bug? That said, without a seed, the screen that is asking me to create an admin account doesn't work
