Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

I'm using better-auth with Hono.js and Cloudflare Worker. After ugrading v.1.4.5 to v1.4.6 i cannot start the server.

I get this error:

✘ [ERROR] service core:user:worker-api-mobile-dev: Uncaught TypeError: The argument 'path' The argument must be a file URL object, a file URL string, or an absolute path string.. Received 'undefined'

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Dec 9, 2025):

This is a regression in better-auth v1.4.6: Node.js-specific code (like createRequire from node:module) is now imported in code paths that run even in environments like Hono.js, where Node primitives such as import.meta.url are undefined. This causes the "argument 'path' undefined" error and prevents your server from starting. The issue is not caused by your configuration or usage, but by changes in how modules are bundled and imported in v1.4.6 [source].

The most reliable workaround is to downgrade to v1.4.5, which does not have this regression [source]. Alternatively, you can try the latest beta (e.g., 1.4.6-beta.4) if available, as it may include a fix. Disabling telemetry or changing import paths will not resolve this server-side error.

Keep an eye out for future releases that address this regression and restore compatibility with Hono.js and other serverless or non-Node environments. If you need help auditing your imports or have a more complex setup, let me know!

This should have been fixed in the latest version. The reason is because of the bundler
