Yeah I was previously on 0.6.2 (but wanna move up the version pretty much) Yeah it's the Drizzle issue, and will begin debugging the problem as I run a custom adapter. @bekacru I see that since 0.6.2 the adapters have changed in layout quite a lot is there any reason for this? Debugging now, seems to be a issue with the /src/db/utils.ts and specifically: 
const { kysely, databaseType } = await createKyselyAdapter(options);
if (!kysely) {
    throw new BetterAuthError("Failed to initialize database adapter");
}
const { kysely, databaseType } = await createKyselyAdapter(options);
if (!kysely) {
    throw new BetterAuthError("Failed to initialize database adapter");
}
I can't really debug further but is it possible for you to pass the adapter through the options optionally? in case someone didn't wanna use the built-in kysely adapter

Did you find this page helpful?
