ctx.auth.getUserIdentity() is returning undefined

Hey! Just started using Convex so far it's been amazing. I added the Clerk integration and I am also using the latest NextJS version(with app router). I created a query function that is getting some a list from the database. When I call it from the frontend it seems the backend doesn't have the user identity right away.

export const getCurrentUsersLists = query({
  args: {},
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    const identity = await ctx?.auth?.getUserIdentity()

    const info = identity?.name
    console.log("๐Ÿš€ ~ handler: ~ info:", info)

    

    return "hello"
  }
})
export const getCurrentUsersLists = query({
  args: {},
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    const identity = await ctx?.auth?.getUserIdentity()

    const info = identity?.name
    console.log("๐Ÿš€ ~ handler: ~ info:", info)

    

    return "hello"
  }
})


In this function I need to be able to get lists by the user id but the user is never defined. I have made sure I am logged in too. I have also made sure that I setup my auth.config.js correctly. It seems the mutation function works just fine but the queries do not. Any help would be awesome! Thanks.

Here is what the logs look like. Seems like on load it's undefined and then eventually the data comes.

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
