Solution:

Nor email or github/google or any oauth works

TresilloOP•4mo ago

Trying to visit manually /api/auth/email gets me this error

TresilloOP•4mo ago

I'm getting errors saying that they couldn't found the enviroment variables but they are setup correctly and can be accesed during build times

Tobias•4mo ago

in auth.ts, you have to add the environment variables yourself since they have to be imported in cloudflare from the cloudflare package.

TresilloOP•4mo ago

Do you have an example?

Better Auth configuration options reference.

TresilloOP•4mo ago

I have it like this https://github.com/safecircleia/waitlist/blob/main/lib%2Fauth.ts So you suggest setting the variables on the file instead of a .env file?

Tobias•4mo ago

no you do not have the secret specified in there. you should make it access the .env you have to use the cloudflare specific way to access the env

TresilloOP•4mo ago

Ill try that, I saw it in the doc how it worked. Thanks!

Tobias•4mo ago

https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/compatibility-flags/#enable-auto-populating-processenv

Cloudflare Docs

Compatibility flags

Opt into a specific features of the Workers runtime for your Workers project.

Tobias•4mo ago

or you have to change the compat date your compat date is before the change of process.env so process.env is empty

TresilloOP•4mo ago

I have this at my compat date Mar 25, 2025

Tobias•4mo ago

yes, too old. as you can see in the link it was only added on first of april that you can use process.env.

TresilloOP•4mo ago

Do I have to only change the compatibility date and add this flag nodejs_compat_populate_process_env? I've added those but still doesn't work, I'm getting this error when trying to signin with social oauth

progress, good

TresilloOP•4mo ago

yes, error is different but I'm still with the same behavior as before. I can't signin using oauth (social) and I can signin with email but I can't get pass the 2fa screen with a 500 error. Do I hve to setup something in the cloudflare worker side? It works locally without any problems using pnpm wrangler dev I´m still getting the same error on the build at cloudflre workers
