Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/1840

Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

  1. Create a Sveltekit project with Drizzle and Tailwind
  2. Set up better auth according to the documents: https://www.better-auth.com/docs/integrations/svelte-kit
  3. Sign Up (this works) then Sign In (This does create a session entry in the Database)
  4. Try to get Session on client side or server side

Current vs. Expected behavior

Trying to get session on client side with authClient.useSession(); returns: { data: null error: null isPending: true isRefetching: false refetch: function() }

Trying to get session on server side await auth.api.getSession({ headers: request.headers }); returns: null

Not even error is returned.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.2.4

Provide environment information

- OS: Mac OS v15.3.2
- Browser: Chrome
- Svelte: 5
- Svelte Kit: 2.16.0
- Drizzle-kit: 0.30.2
- Drizzle-orm: 0.30.2

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

Backend, Client

Auth config (if applicable)

import { betterAuth } from 'better-auth'
import { drizzleAdapter } from 'better-auth/adapters/drizzle'
import { username } from 'better-auth/plugins'

import { db } from '../db'

export const auth = betterAuth({
	database: drizzleAdapter(db, {
		provider: 'pg' // or "pg" or "mysql"
	}),
	emailAndPassword: {
		enabled: true,
		sendResetPassword: async ({ url }) => {
			console.log('Reset Password Link: ', url)
		}
	},
	plugins: [username()]
})

Additional context

Auth Client:

import { createAuthClient } from 'better-auth/svelte' // make sure to import from better-auth/svelte
import { usernameClient } from 'better-auth/client/plugins'
import { env } from '$env/dynamic/public'

export const authClient = createAuthClient({
	// you can pass client configuration here
	baseURL: env.PUBLIC_BETTER_AUTH_URL, // the base url of your auth server
	plugins: [usernameClient()]
})

export const { signIn, signUp, useSession } = authClient

hooks.server.ts:

import type { Handle } from '@sveltejs/kit'
import { svelteKitHandler } from 'better-auth/svelte-kit'

import { auth } from '$lib/server/auth'

export const handle: Handle = async ({ event, resolve }) => {
	return svelteKitHandler({ event, resolve, auth })
}

@mvdve commented on GitHub (Apr 7, 2025):

I'm using sessions in sveltekit without issues, running better-auth 1.2.5 and SqLite, but the database should not be an issue in this case.

I did provide the Drizzle schema within the betterAuth config, as it would not load it automatically.
