Using clerk + convex auth along with Tauri app (Login via Browser)
I am using Clerk Convex Integration
https://clerk.com/docs/integrations/databases/convex
Now, I am looking for workflows where I can login via Browser into Tauri webapp (Unbundled).
I tried using Clerk as oAuth provider, where I can render a button my webpp "Login via browser"
This navigates to browser for Authentication (which opens my clerk sign in / sign up page)
In return I get
code and state, which I can use for exchanging with Token via Backend
I am comminicating code and state via Deep linking.
But here is the problem I am facing.
Even after exchanging Code for Token, I am unable to set the session in the Tauri app.
Clerk's setActive method is not seems to be working. Probably because Convex is working along with Clerk.
So how to manage session via Convex. I tried clerk.setAuth with a fetcher function, but didn't seemed to work as well.
Any recommendations, or any other alternative workflows?Integrations: Integrate Convex with Clerk

Thank you!
hey @sandeep34 sounds like you have an interesting application there and I suspect a Tauri or Electron + auth use-case is fairly common so we should have an answer for that.
I unfortunately dont know enough about auth to know for sure. Maybe @erquhart might know?
I haven't done anything with Tauri, but it's also not clear that Convex is a part of the issue - might be worth checking in the Clerk discord
