auth.api.getSession() returns unknown for user and session

Package: [email protected] I'm using better-auth with Drizzle ORM, and although the system works correctly at runtime, the types I get from auth.api.getSession() are not as expected. The inferred type is: const session: { session: unknown; user: unknown; } | null 🙏 Could you confirm if this is expected? Or if there's a way to have the types automatically inferred from the adapter?

Can I see your auth config?

export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: drizzleAdapter(db, {
    provider: 'pg',
    schema: user,
    usePlural: true,
  }),
  socialProviders: {
    github: {
      clientId: env.GITHUB_CLIENT,
      clientSecret: env.GITHUB_SECRET,
    },
  },
});

export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: drizzleAdapter(db, {
    provider: 'pg',
    schema: user,
    usePlural: true,
  }),
  socialProviders: {
    github: {
      clientId: env.GITHUB_CLIENT,
      clientSecret: env.GITHUB_SECRET,
    },
  },
});

Unrelated to your issue, but are you sure you setup the schema correctly? Normally we don't pass the user schema direct like that

Just copied your auth config, and looks fine to me 🤔

the server works fine. sorry it was my fault in the config I had plugins: []

export const auth = betterAuth({
  ...
  plugins: [], //the error
});

export const auth = betterAuth({
  ...
  plugins: [], //the error
});

can't be without plugins
