Generating schema from some plugins introduce bugs.

Using the organization plugin, its invitation and member tables schemas are introduced with a bug. You cannot use member & pending since they are blocked scoped variables and not able to be used until after they are fully declared. Removing it will allow the schema to build, but I am not sure if that is the intended use.

Adding admin plugin causes "The inferred type of this node exceeds the maximum length the compiler"

When I add the admin plugin to my list of plugins it results in the error:

The inferred type of this node exceeds the maximum length the compiler will serialize. An explicit type annotation is needed

Quick summary: - When TOTP is entered, user chooses to trust device. - trust_device cookie is set. Expiration date looks like it's 30 days out (docs say it should be 60) - log out - Log back in; TOTP is not requested (good!)...

`parseCookies` function can't handle some header format properly

I think the logic of parseCookies is quite minimal and is not robust enough to handle various cases. such as the headers format from lambda request context. I checked it's got working after patching the logic with pnpm patch. And also i found another case here in discord https://discord.com/channels/1288403910284935179/1357017250774909119...

useSession's refetch function is undefined after signing out in Expo

Basically what the title says. I've noticed that when I sign out, the refetch function is undefined. The problem is that if a user signs out and then signs in, the refetch function will remain undefined.

CRITICAL BUG IN PRODUCTION: authClient.useSession returns the session of a random user

I used authClient.useSession in the development environment, everything is working perfectly fine. When I tried to use it in production, it gets the session of a random user all of the time even if I log out & sign in again, it gets that random user. I "solved" this issue by getting the session on the server for now.......

segment.replace is not a function - Is this a bug?

I am getting this error. Although everything seems to work fine, I am a bit concerned (being an auth library, I don't want any surprises 🙂 ) I couldn't find any reference to this error anywhere....

findOneAndUpdate in mongodbAdapter returns inconsistent result shape

Hello, first of all I want to say that I love the framework. As the result I've have been migrating to it, but I encountered the following issue. I have also created github issue (https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/2508). There are more info in the page. Hi, I'm encountering an inconsistency with db.collection.findOneAndUpdate() in the mongodbAdapter. For some collections, it returns the updated document as expected. However, for others—like the users collection—it returns a result object in the following shape: { lastErrorObject: {n:1, updatedExisting: true}...

authClient.admin.removeUser doesn't trigger beforeDelete

I'm using the admin plugin. It has authClient.admin.removeUser functionality. the problem is that I set up user beforeDelete to delete all of the images from my s3 bucket before removing the user and it doesn't work. It works if and only if the user deletes himself manually. user deletion from the admin side: ```ts async function handleDelete() {...

Data Types MSSQL

Hi all. Not sure if this is a bug or just a lack of knowledge on my part. I have a next.js project using a mssql db and have generated/ migrated schema as per docs for all of the plugins. I've been setting up forgot password and update password but hitting an error with data types. For forgot password, the error occurs when the user has clicked on the link in the email (verifying the token??), and with update password, the error looks to be a call for accountId when it's writing the new password to the db. Error: The data types text and nvarchar are incompatible in the equal to operator. The schema has a number of fields as 'text' such as the tokens, accountId's etc but mssql no longer supports text as a data type so the db errors out on api calls that use these fields. I've manually updated the columns in my db to be varchar or nvarchar which has resolved the issue. I updated better-auth from 1.2.3 to 1.2.6 which also meant the twofactor verification failed as the verification table is also set up with text....

db is not exposed in context

According to the docs at: https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/plugins#what-can-a-plugin-do, the context object contains the db instance, like kysely. For me, it does not, please see the attachment to this post. Not only in my editor but also console logging the context object does not reveal the db instance. What do I need to do to expose the DB instance? I need to make joins due to performance reasons and I dont think the adapter is capable of it....
