Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/2319

Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

Stack: Ionic v8 / React 18.3 / Better-auth 1.2.7

Better-auth is working nicely in combination with Ionic. Except for useSession and signOut.

In the client:

await authClient.signOut({
      fetchOptions: {
        onSuccess: () => {
          router.push("/sign-in"); // redirect to login page
        },
      },
    });

On the server:

app.all('/api/auth/*', async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const auth = await getAuth();
    const handler = toNodeHandler(auth);
    return await handler(req, res);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
    res.status(500).send('Internal Server Error');
  }
});

Current vs. Expected behavior

Expected: removed session and user redirection

Actual:
Server response:
{"code":"FAILED_TO_GET_SESSION","message":"Failed to get session"}

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.2.7

Provide environment information

MacOS for PWA and Ionic
(Android mobile device OnePlus on OxygenOS 15)

Behaviour is the same on all platforms

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

Client, Backend

Auth config (if applicable)

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth"
import { bearer } from "better-auth/plugins";
import { mongodbAdapter } from "better-auth/adapters/mongodb";

export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: mongodbAdapter(nativeDb),
  emailAndPassword: {  
    enabled: true
  },
  plugins: [bearer()]
});

export const authClient = createAuthClient({
  baseURL: import.meta.env.VITE_API_BASE_URL
});

"failed to get session" is returned when no session cookie is sent to the server

Thanks @Bekacru for your quick response.

I've used the better fetch options like this now. The token is available at this point, so I can use it like this.

export const authClient = createAuthClient({
  baseURL: import.meta.env.VITE_API_BASE_URL,
  fetchOptions: {
    credentials: "include",
    auth: {
      type: "Bearer",
      token: token,
    },
  }
});
