Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

  1. Setup an application using better-auth 1.4.6
  2. Install latest drizzle-orm (0.45.1)
  3. (try to) Upgrade to better-auth 1.4.7 (I use ncu -u && npm i)
  4. See the following error: 
    npm error node_modules/drizzle-orm
npm error   drizzle-orm@"^0.45.1" from the root project
npm error
npm error Could not resolve dependency:
npm error peerOptional drizzle-orm@"^0.41.0" from better-auth@1.4.7
npm error node_modules/better-auth
npm error   better-auth@"^1.4.7" from the root project
npm error   better-auth@"^1.4.7" from @better-auth/cli@1.4.7
npm error   node_modules/@better-auth/cli
npm error     @better-auth/cli@"^1.4.7" from the root project
npm error
npm error Conflicting peer dependency: drizzle-orm@0.41.0

Current vs. Expected behavior

CURRENT: Does not work with latest drizzle-orm
EXPECTED: I expect better-auth to work with the latest drizzle-orm

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.4.7

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

Package

Auth config (if applicable)

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth"
export const auth = betterAuth({
  emailAndPassword: {  
    enabled: true
  },
});

Additional context

Looking at the diff between 1.4.7 and 1.4.6 (what I was using previously) it looks like someone added the following in packages/better-auth/package.json:

{
    // ...
    "drizzle-kit": "^0.31.4",
    "drizzle-orm": "^0.41.0",
    // ...
}

Is there a reason the version was set to an old release? I installed with --force and everything seems to be working locally...but I wanted to check

Hi @jonbnewman! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the better-auth team.

The drizzle-orm peer dependency in better-auth 1.4.7 is pinned to ^0.41.0, which causes npm to throw a conflict if you use a newer version like 0.45.1. This constraint is enforced only in package.json and not at runtime—there are no explicit version checks or code paths in the drizzle adapter or CLI that target specific drizzle-orm versions. The version pin appears to be conservative, likely due to lack of automated compatibility testing with newer releases, not because of a known incompatibility. Maintainers are aware of this issue but haven't yet released a version supporting 0.45.x or newer (source).

Using --force or --legacy-peer-deps (or pnpm, which is more lenient) will bypass the peer dependency check. Many users report that better-auth works fine with newer drizzle-orm versions when forced, but this setup isn't officially supported or guaranteed. If drizzle-orm introduces breaking changes, you might encounter subtle runtime issues, so it's best to thoroughly test your auth flows and monitor for errors. If you run into problems, consider downgrading drizzle-orm or keeping an eye out for future better-auth releases with expanded support (source).
