Using the CLI in SvelteKit project

I am a bit confused since I followed the SvelteKit integration guide that recommends 
import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { sveltekitCookies } from "better-auth/svelte-kit";
import { getRequestEvent } from "$app/server";
 
export const auth = betterAuth({
  // ... your config
  plugins: [sveltekitCookies(getRequestEvent)],
});
import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { sveltekitCookies } from "better-auth/svelte-kit";
import { getRequestEvent } from "$app/server";
 
export const auth = betterAuth({
  // ... your config
  plugins: [sveltekitCookies(getRequestEvent)],
});
but when I then try any CLI command, like pnpm dlx @better-auth/cli migrate I get an error corresponding to not being able to access the $app (since it's a SvelteKit thing?). 
ERROR [Better Auth]: [#better-auth]: Couldn't read your auth config. Error: Cannot find module '$app/server'
ERROR [Better Auth]: [#better-auth]: Couldn't read your auth config. Error: Cannot find module '$app/server'
Any recommendations?

I think right now the only way is just to comment out code that causes the CLI to run into issues,

ok! i was thinking this too since it does not affect the CLI commands. do you want me to raise an issue in github? guess this may not be prioritized atm

It's a known issue, no need for gh issue. Thanks though
