afterUserCreatedOrUpdated() not being triggered after user creation or update

I have implemented two providers for phone sign-in using these examples: https://github.com/get-convex/convex-auth-example/blob/f699ad3c4c6d3cdcad6b182b9009004c443e53a5/convex/otp/TwilioOTP.ts https://github.com/get-convex/convex-auth-example/blob/5163bd646c208dfce64b3cd4f05109d3c7dbe6f2/convex/otp/TwilioVerify.ts I want to populate the tokenIdentifier field of the user document for later use. I have extended the authTables's users table to have the tokenIdentifier field available. My auth.ts file looks like this:

import { convexAuth } from "@convex-dev/auth/server";
import { TwilioOTP } from "./otp/TwilioOTP";
import { TwilioVerify } from "./otp/TwilioVerify";

export const { auth, signIn, signOut, store } = convexAuth({
  providers: [TwilioOTP, TwilioVerify],

  callbacks: {
    async afterUserCreatedOrUpdated(ctx, args) {
      console.log("profile:", args.profile);
      console.log("type:", args.type);
      console.log("existing user Id:", args.existingUserId);
      const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();
      await ctx.db.patch(args.userId, { tokenIdentifier: identity?.tokenIdentifier });
    },
  },
});

import { convexAuth } from "@convex-dev/auth/server";
import { TwilioOTP } from "./otp/TwilioOTP";
import { TwilioVerify } from "./otp/TwilioVerify";

export const { auth, signIn, signOut, store } = convexAuth({
  providers: [TwilioOTP, TwilioVerify],

  callbacks: {
    async afterUserCreatedOrUpdated(ctx, args) {
      console.log("profile:", args.profile);
      console.log("type:", args.type);
      console.log("existing user Id:", args.existingUserId);
      const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();
      await ctx.db.patch(args.userId, { tokenIdentifier: identity?.tokenIdentifier });
    },
  },
});

The problem is, that is never being called. So I wonder what am I missing?

Hmm that's surprising -- to confirm, you're seeing users get created / updated, just none of the log lines from your afterUserCreatedOrUpdated?

It is exactly like that as you described. The users get created as expected, but none of the lines in the method above get executed. I don't get any console logs and also tokenIdentifier doesn't get populated

If you upgrade to the latest Convex Auth version, and then set AUTH_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG in your Convex environment variables, you should hopefully get a few more logs about what's happening here. In particular, I get a 'Calling custom afterUserCreatedOrUpdated callback' log line instead of a 'No custom afterUserCreatedOrUpdated callback, skipping' line with the extra logging

Some good news, the afterUserCreatedOrUpdated() did get called for me now (see screenshot). I don't know the reason why, though, I haven't changed anything, except upgrading Convex Auth to the latest version, which was from v0.0.61 to v0.0.64. However I am just wondering, shouldn't the user identity already be known at this stage? The account is already created, as it says in the screenshot, but I'm getting a null at this point.

I believe the user has been created but hasn't been propagated to auth.getUserIdentity() yet (this is in the middle of the sign in flow). afterUserCreatedOrUpdated should have in its args userId (which you can db.get / db.update) + profile.

Ok, I understand. Perhaps just one last question, as this topic is closed for me - is there then any particular use or reason to use the identity, when there is already userId available?
