I am gettng internal server error and not understanding why, how to get logs

anyway to debug this?

GET http://localhost:3000/api/auth/get-session 500 (Internal Server Error)

GET http://localhost:3000/api/auth/get-session 500 (Internal Server Error)

...

Solution:

That line is outputting the result of a GET request I would imagine the 500 is emitting some error to the log server-side? Are you sure there's nothing else in your console? You could try adding logging to your Next.js API route handler like this and interrogating the request to see if anything looks odd: ...

Failing to extend context via createAuthMiddleware

I am passing organisationName to the auth.api.signInSocial method on the server. The middleware catches this argument however I cannot succeed at passing it so it's available in the database hook. How can I solve this? Thank you....

Stripe plugin with organizations, did anyone get it to work?

The docs mention being able to use the stripe plugin with organizations, but when trying to set it up the "stripeCustomerId" field is still added to the users table instead of the organizations table. How can I get around this? It feels like organizations support with stripe is a half baked afterthought atm....

Auth Client vs. Server-Side Authentication

Is it recommended to use the authClient or rather do authentication server-side? In general, I'd prefer server-side authentication. But the rate limiting (which is only available on the authClient) sounds very convenient honestly. Is there a best-practice / recommendation?...

Solution:

Session cleanup

Is there any session cleanup mechanism? Or do I need to manually clean them up? I noticed sessions have expiresAt, but they don't get deleted from the DB once they expire....

Session is linked to wrong user when using OAuth

Hey everyone, I was trying to integrate a NextCloud OAuth to my Next.JS v15 application using Better-Auth. Everything is working fine, except for one little thing. When I use the OAuth login function from Better-Auth, I get authenticated and the user data is fetched from my NextCloud. I created a "profile" page to display all the user and session data, just for testing purposes. When I check the page, I always get the user, that I first signed in with. I logged in with a normal browser window and a private browser window to check the functionality. But I always get the user data that I first signed in with. When using the credentials provider that I set up, everything is working fine, only the OAuth with NextCloud is causing issues. Does anyone have an idea, what could be the problem or how I could fix it?...

Solution:

Found out what the issue was... Nextcloud was not giving me a valid email address through their API. Therefore the two users were created using the same email address, which let better-auth think, that they are the same user... Very stupid of me...

Prevent Verification Email being re-sent on every SignIn

I use email verification in my app. Every time I try to sign in (before confirming my email), another verification email is sent out since the function "sendVerificationEmail" is called again. Is there any way to prevent this? I'd like to send only one confirmation email and then maybe allow the user to trigger another one manually....

Call success url on the authclient checkout

Just wondering if there is an option to simply call the sucecssUrl in the autClient api rather than passing it in the config file. For our use case I'd like to redirect to the first video of a course, so something like this is handy 👍...

Can better-auth client be used from backend?

Hi. Can the better-auth client be used from a backend so that better-auth can replace existing auth functionality with minimal frontend changes, or does the client have to be called from the frontend?
