Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

better auth is very difficult to debug now, it would be easier if there was a debug mode, like this one for next auth: https://authjs.dev/guides/debugging

Describe the solution you'd like

The current better auth is already great, a debug mode would be great!

Describe alternatives you've considered

I tried wrapping toNextJsHandler to get the request url, but it's still hard to solve when there's unintended behavior, and at this point better auth is more of a black box

import { auth } from "@/lib/auth/server";
import { toNextJsHandler } from "better-auth/next-js";

const originalHandler = toNextJsHandler(auth.handler);

export const GET = async (req: Request) => {
  console.log(`Auth Request URL: ${req.url}`);
  return originalHandler.GET(req);
};

export const POST = async (req: Request) => {
  console.log(`Auth Request URL: ${req.url}`);
  return originalHandler.POST(req);
};

Thank you very much for your answer, I referred to this document and turned on the debug logger, but nothing happens, is this normal?

I am using apple to log in, configured correctly and can authenticate successfully, here is my current situation:

better-auth:1.2.10
Next.js : 15.3.4

server side auth code：

export const auth = betterAuth({
  //basePath: "/api/auth",
  secret: process.env.AUTH_SECRET,
  trustedOrigins: [process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL!],
  plugins: [openAPI()],
  database: authAdapter(db, {
    provider: "pg",
    schema: authSchema,
   // debugLogs: true,
  }),
  socialProviders: {
    apple: {
      clientId: process.env.AUTH_APPLE_ID!,
      clientSecret: process.env.AUTH_APPLE_SECRET!,
    },
  },
  logger: {
    disabled: false,
    level: "debug", //error,warn,info,debug
    log: (level, message, ...args) => {
      // Custom logging implementation
      console.log(`[BetterAuth][${level}] ${message}`, ...args);
    },
  },
});

log in terminal, no debugging information output：

yarn run v1.22.22

Having the same as @angus-cx, apparently enabled but no log showing:

Hey guys, this is normal. Unfortunately there isn't much debug logs built into some of these endpoints, so even after enabling those debug log options nothing would appear.
