Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

I set up the basic better-auth sveltekit app.

Current vs. Expected behavior

After logging in, I can see the correct user etc in the database.

But there session is null, whether I use getSession, useSession or else.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

lastest

Provide environment information

- Macos M1
- Node
- Sveltekit latest
-

Which area(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

Backend

Auth config (if applicable)

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import Database from "better-sqlite3";
 
import { GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET } from "$env/static/private";
import { BETTER_AUTH_URL, BETTER_AUTH_SECRET, SQLITE_DB_PATH } from "$env/static/private";

const SqliteDb = new Database(SQLITE_DB_PATH);

export const auth = betterAuth({
    baseURL: BETTER_AUTH_URL,
    secret: BETTER_AUTH_SECRET,
    database: SqliteDb,

    socialProviders: { 
        github: { 
           clientId: GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, 
           clientSecret: GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET, 
        }, 

    } 
})

Additional context

Hooks

import { auth } from "$lib/auth"; // path to your auth file
import { svelteKitHandler } from "better-auth/svelte-kit";

export async function handle({ event, resolve }) {

return svelteKitHandler({ event, resolve, auth });

}

Page

<script lang="ts"> import { authClient } from "$lib/auth-client"; const session = authClient.useSession(); </script> 
  <div>
    {#if $session.data}
      <div>
        <p>
          {$session?.data?.user.name}
        </p>
        <button
          on:click={async () => {
            await authClient.signOut();
          }}
        >
          Sign Out
        </button>
      </div>
    {:else}
      <button
        on:click={async () => {
          await authClient.signIn.social({
            provider: "github",
          });
        }}
      >
        Continue with GitHub
      </button>
    {/if}
  </div>

auth-client

import { createAuthClient } from "better-auth/svelte"
export const authClient = createAuthClient({
/** The base URL of the server (optional if you're using the same domain) */
baseURL: "http://localhost:4000"
})

It's quite hard to test or debug what is happening. I am wondering if there's an issue with better-sqlite3 but cannot test.

I tried reproducing the issue, but I couldn't reproduce it on my end.
I've created a sample repository here: https://github.com/rururux/better-auth-sveltekit-issue-test
Could you please provide a minimal reproduction repository where the issue occurs?
