Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

hooks and plugins only get called when the context path is /get-session.

Image

Current vs. Expected behavior

Expected to see other endpoints triggering both hooks and plugins such as /sign-in and /sign-up.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.2.7

Provide environment information

- OS: MacOS Sequoia 15.0 (24A335)

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

Backend, Client

Auth config (if applicable)

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth"

export const auth = betterAuth({
  emailAndPassword: {
    enabled: true,
    autoSignIn: true,
  },
  database: drizzleAdapter(db, {
    provider: 'pg'
  }),
  hooks: {
    after: createAuthMiddleware(async (ctx) => {
      console.log('hooks > after > ctx path: %s', ctx.path);
    }),
  },
  plugins: [
    nextCookies(),
    {
      hooks: {
        after: [
          {
            matcher(ctx) {
              console.log('matcher context path: %s', ctx.path);
              return true;
            },

            handler: createAuthMiddleware(async (ctx) => {
              console.log('handler context path: %s', ctx.path);
            }),
          },
        ],
      },
    },
    anonymous({
      emailDomainName: 'guest.user',
      onLinkAccount: async ({ anonymousUser, newUser }) => {
        console.log(
          'Linking %s and %s',
          anonymousUser.user.id,
          newUser.user.id,
        );
      },
    }),
  ],
});

Additional context

After I've added the anonymous plugin, I've noticed that linking accounts was not being correctly done as other users have pointed out here.

When I inspected the plugin itself, I've noticed that the function should have been called but it didn't.

So, I've tried to reproduce with two approaches one with hooks and other with plugins. When I've logged the value of context.path the value was always /get-session and never anything else.

I couldn’t reproduce the issue on my end. Can you try updating to the latest version and share a repro if it still happens?

Hello @jrgtt it's been a while now, are you still facing this issue on latest?
I'll close this for now - if you're still experiencing this LMK and I can happily re-open this!
