Convex & Lucia might be depricated on v3
Unfortunate news, just I was about to celebrate that Convex & Lucia work well together and I ran into a roadblock.
Lucia's API got changed in version 3, the issue is getting a session
- convex-lucia-auth-demo
convex/withAuth.ts:117
- new lucia API github discussion
the new Lucia class has no getSession function, which allowed you to only read the session
notice the comment above in the v2 demo repo:
with seemingly only Lucia#validateSession left, I think it's no longer possible to use in queries at all. can someone else have a look and confirm? if you wish, I can quickly share my v3 repo where I found this out (but there isn't really much more to it)
Thanks :FallenQiqi:4 Replies
now I see that a few people mentioned this already
not sure how to overcome this
you guys must be annoyed with this auth stuff lol, sorry for stirring this pot again, feel free to close the issue
Thanks for continuing to bring this to our attention. Auth is a very broad and deep subject. Hence entire companies that just do this 😅
@Michal Srb has more context for when he's back online.
But my understanding is that Lucia has made some very significant changes to the APIs. Our old demo probably should be marked as deprecated. There are active internal explorations on getting some library version of auth working (may or may not be lucia based), that is a bit more self contained.
I will try to just extend the Lucia class and add a method that will work with convex. will involve some http mutations, which should hopefully not cause any issues. gonna update this thread or #general
all
validateSession does is either remove invalid sessions or update the expiration which can be done asynchronouslyHey @shadow_aya indeed Lucia itself now doesn’t provide much that would be needed for Convex, see this repo which uses the underlying libraries for basic auth:

And stay tuned for more.
