[Solved] Sending auth info breaks ws connection to Convex

I have next.js app and trying to connect it to NextAuth and Convex. Pretty much successful so far, current step: sending authorized user info to Convex to be used in queries/mutations. When I configure ConvexProviderWithAuth, and it sends JWT to the ws channel (wss://my-tenant.convex.cloud/api/1.10.0/sync), it gets a response: *

{"type":"Authenticate","baseVersion":0,"tokenType":"User","value":{"name":"REDACTED","email":"REDACTED@gmail.com","picture":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/REDACTED?v=4","sub":"kh74hmtwhk1q4py9mwygh0r3fd6nbney","iat":1710630073,"exp":1713222073,"jti":"a7e096a9-0a84-4cd9-9dd6-e42db6cc011e"}}

* {"type":"FatalError","error":"Received Invalid JSON on websocket: invalid type: map, expected a string"} As I understand, Convex did not accept the user info. I don't really know what should I change here, maybe send raw JWT directly? Here are the files:

export default function ConvexClientProvider({
  children,
}: {
  children: ReactNode;
}) {
  return (
    <ConvexProviderWithAuth client={convex} useAuth={useAuthFromNextAuth}>
      {children}
    </ConvexProviderWithAuth>
  )
}

export default function ConvexClientProvider({
  children,
}: {
  children: ReactNode;
}) {
  return (
    <ConvexProviderWithAuth client={convex} useAuth={useAuthFromNextAuth}>
      {children}
    </ConvexProviderWithAuth>
  )
}

export function useAuthFromNextAuth() {
  const { data, status } = useSession();

  const fetchAccessToken = useCallback(
    async ({ forceRefreshToken }: { forceRefreshToken: boolean }) => {
      if (forceRefreshToken) {
        const response = await fetch("/api/openid/refresh");
        return (await response.json()) as string;
      } else {
        const response = await fetch("/api/openid/token");
        return (await response.json()) as string;
      }
    },
    []
  );

  return useMemo(
    () => ({
      isLoading: status === "loading",
      isAuthenticated: !!data,
      fetchAccessToken,
    }),
    [fetchAccessToken, data, status]
  );
}

export function useAuthFromNextAuth() {
  const { data, status } = useSession();

  const fetchAccessToken = useCallback(
    async ({ forceRefreshToken }: { forceRefreshToken: boolean }) => {
      if (forceRefreshToken) {
        const response = await fetch("/api/openid/refresh");
        return (await response.json()) as string;
      } else {
        const response = await fetch("/api/openid/token");
        return (await response.json()) as string;
      }
    },
    []
  );

  return useMemo(
    () => ({
      isLoading: status === "loading",
      isAuthenticated: !!data,
      fetchAccessToken,
    }),
    [fetchAccessToken, data, status]
  );
}

when I wrap in JSON.stringify to make it really a string instead of map return JSON.stringify(await response.json()) as string; then I get another error: {"type":"AuthError","error":"Could not parse as id token","baseVersion":0} Maybe I really need to reencode my own JWT from NextAuth's one (which is encrypted), but what are the options for signing/encrypting? I've added this to the convex dir (however not sure it took it)

export default {
  providers: [
    {
      domain: "https://REDACTED.vercel.app/",
      applicationID: "REDACTED",
    },
  ]
};

export default {
  providers: [
    {
      domain: "https://REDACTED.vercel.app/",
      applicationID: "REDACTED",
    },
  ]
};

okay, it seems I was buried in code and focused on getting next-auth working. Re-read the docs on the Convex side this morning, and it's pretty clear that I need to pass raw JWT here. The image on the https://docs.convex.dev/auth/debug pages shows that.

@v.karbovnichy we now have a guide for setting up Convex with NextAuth: https://stack.convex.dev/nextauth

Convex with Auth.js (NextAuth)

Learn how to use Auth.js with your Next.js server and Convex backend to build a full-featured authentication system.
