Better Auth with Convex working in dev but broken in prod

I am trying to get authentication to work with my convex + better auth set up. I've got the following envs in my dev and production deployments in Convex:

BETTER_AUTH_SECRET, SITE_URL

BETTER_AUTH_SECRET, SITE_URL

. In development, everything works fine however in production I am unable to login or sign up. I am able to create an account but in production it gives me this error:

Error

Uncaught Error: Unauthenticated
    at getAuthUser [as getAuthUser] (../../node_modules/@convex-dev/better-auth/src/client/index.ts:538:13)
    at async handler (../../convex/auth.ts:44:9)

Error

Uncaught Error: Unauthenticated
    at getAuthUser [as getAuthUser] (../../node_modules/@convex-dev/better-auth/src/client/index.ts:538:13)
    at async handler (../../convex/auth.ts:44:9)

My getCurrentUser method looks like this:

export const getCurrentUser = query({
    args: {},
    handler: async (ctx) => {
        const user = await authComponent.getAuthUser(ctx);
        return {
            ...user,
            userProfiles: await ctx.db
                .query('userProfiles')
                .withIndex('by_userId', (q) => q.eq('userId', user?._id))
                .collect()
        };
    }
});

export const getCurrentUser = query({
    args: {},
    handler: async (ctx) => {
        const user = await authComponent.getAuthUser(ctx);
        return {
            ...user,
            userProfiles: await ctx.db
                .query('userProfiles')
                .withIndex('by_userId', (q) => q.eq('userId', user?._id))
                .collect()
        };
    }
});

I would really appreciate some help here I've been trying for hours to resolve this and find out what is causing this because in production it is just not working. It's deployed on vercel

@aith i’m almost 100% sure you are just missing the correct env variable with the production url somewhere. either you have a cors issue with the cross domain plugin, or google auth isn’t being given the correct url in the google cloud console settings. lmk

All the envs were set up (and I'm only using email password no Oauth). The problem is somehow with the middleware. In production the redirect doesn't work and I haven't been able to figure out why yet

are you on next?

aithOP•2w ago

Yes

that’s always the other problem lol so hard to troubleshoot most of the time the only difference in prod is the env variables or the url somehow
