Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/4796

Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

In Drizzle x SQLite, defaultNow is marked as deprecated. However, even when SQLite is selected, running the generate command from Better Auth still produces a schema that includes defaultNow.

https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/guides/timestamp-default-value?utm_source=chatgpt.com#sqlite

export const users = sqliteTable("users", {
  id: text("id").primaryKey(),
  name: text("name").notNull(),
  email: text("email").notNull().unique(),
  emailVerified: integer("email_verified", { mode: "boolean" })
    .default(false)
    .notNull(),
  image: text("image"),
  createdAt: integer("created_at", { mode: "timestamp" })
    .defaultNow() <- editor warning
    .notNull(),
  updatedAt: integer("updated_at", { mode: "timestamp" })
    .defaultNow() <- editor warning
    .$onUpdate(() => /* @__PURE__ */ new Date())
    .notNull(),
});

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Sep 21, 2025):

This is a known issue: Better Auth's schema generator currently uses .defaultNow() for timestamp fields in Drizzle schemas for all databases, including SQLite, even though Drizzle marks .defaultNow() as deprecated for SQLite. There is no conditional logic in the generator to avoid this, so you get deprecation warnings in editors and code (source, source).

The maintainers are aware and have discussed improvements, but as of v1.3.13, there is no built-in workaround or config option to change this behavior (source, source).

The recommended workaround is to manually edit the generated schema and replace .defaultNow() with .$defaultFn(() => new Date()) for SQLite timestamp fields, as suggested in the Drizzle docs and confirmed by community threads (source).

Keep an eye on release notes and GitHub issues for updates on a fix. If you need help with manual schema edits or migration strategies, let me know!
