How do I authenticate a query?

I'm trying to use convex-auth in svelte, I'm retreiving the accessToken as follows, this gives me a token and a refreshToken

const tokens = await client.action(api.auth.signIn, {
            provider: 'password',
            params: {
                flow: 'signIn',
                email,
                password
            }
        });

const tokens = await client.action(api.auth.signIn, {
            provider: 'password',
            params: {
                flow: 'signIn',
                email,
                password
            }
        });

however when trying to retrieve the current user, through const me = await client.query(api.users.currentUser, {}); for the API

export const currentUser = query({
    args: {},
    handler: async (ctx) => {
        const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);
        if (userId === null) {
            return null;
        }
        return await ctx.db.get(userId);
    }
});

export const currentUser = query({
    args: {},
    handler: async (ctx) => {
        const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);
        if (userId === null) {
            return null;
        }
        return await ctx.db.get(userId);
    }
});

it always returns null

The token needs to be hooked up to the Convex client via the client.setAuth method. I'm not super familiar with Svelte, but here's how the React set up works: https://github.com/get-convex/convex-js/blob/58dc97eebb608de28e0c39ae00c5beadc63773b7/src/react/ConvexAuthState.tsx#L151

thank you for anyone reading, if client.setAuth is throwing errors, odds are you've misconfigured your JWKS env var
