getSessionCookie() always null | Next.js 15.2

In my middleware I am using

getSessionCookie()

getSessionCookie()

to check if a user has a session cookie.

My middleware looks like this (shortend):

...
const sessionCookie = getSessionCookie(request);
        if (!sessionCookie) {
            return NextResponse.redirect(new URL(`/${locale}/auth/sign-in${callbackUrl}`, request.url));
        }
...

...
const sessionCookie = getSessionCookie(request);
        if (!sessionCookie) {
            return NextResponse.redirect(new URL(`/${locale}/auth/sign-in${callbackUrl}`, request.url));
        }
...

When using

npm run dev

npm run dev

I can access the protected routes only if I am logged in and everything works just as expected.

If using

npm run start

npm run start

after a build, `getSessionCookie()`` is always returning null and I cannot access the protected routes even when I am logged in and the session cookie is set.

Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!

Solution

The issue happens cause the

getSessionCookie

getSessionCookie

helper is expecting

__secure

__secure

prefixed cookie but the server is still setting non secure cookie cause it's running on

http

http

. You can pass

useSecureCookie:false

useSecureCookie:false

in get session cookie config. Or update to

1.2.5-beta.3

1.2.5-beta.3

which sohuld fix the issue.
