Error when using clerk getAuth from UploadThing routes

Dear All, I'm having problem using clerk and uploadthing. NextJs: version 13.4.4 React:18.2.0 Uploadthing:5.2.1 Typescript:5.1.6 And using the pages router of nextjs. I tried to isolate the issue as such: I have the uploadthing endpoint and a dummy enpoint using both clerck getAuth(req). dummy.ts 
import { getAuth } from '@clerk/nextjs/server'

export default async function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse,
) {
  const { userId } = getAuth(req)
  // Load any data your application needs for the API route
  return res.status(200).json(userId)
}
import { getAuth } from '@clerk/nextjs/server'

export default async function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse,
) {
  const { userId } = getAuth(req)
  // Load any data your application needs for the API route
  return res.status(200).json(userId)
}
` uploadthing.ts 
import { createNextPageApiHandler } from 'uploadthing/next-legacy'
import {uploadRouter} from "../../server/upload-routes";

const handler = createNextPageApiHandler({
  router: uploadRouter,
})

export default handler
import { createNextPageApiHandler } from 'uploadthing/next-legacy'
import {uploadRouter} from "../../server/upload-routes";

const handler = createNextPageApiHandler({
  router: uploadRouter,
})

export default handler

upload-routes.ts: 
import { getAuth } from '@clerk/nextjs/server'
import { createUploadthing, type FileRouter } from 'uploadthing/next-legacy'
import { prisma } from '@app/db'
import { utapi } from 'uploadthing/server'

const f = createUploadthing()

// FileRouter for your app, can contain multiple FileRoutes
export const uploadRouter = {
  // Define as many FileRoutes as you like, each with a unique routeSlug
  photos: f({ image: { maxFileSize: '4MB' } })
    // Set permissions and file types for this FileRoute
    .middleware(async ({ req, res }) => {
      //todo:Implement the security check here

      // This code runs on your server before upload
      const {userId} = getAuth(req)

      // If you throw, the user will not be able to upload
      if (!userId) throw new Error('Unauthorized')

      // Whatever is returned here is accessible in onUploadComplete as `metadata`
      return {userId}
    })
    .onUploadComplete(async ({ metadata, file }) => {
      // This code RUNS ON YOUR SERVER after upload
      console.log("Upload complete for userId:", metadata.userId);

      console.log('file url', file.url)
    }),
} satisfies FileRouter

export type UploadRouter = typeof uploadRouter
import { getAuth } from '@clerk/nextjs/server'

When trying to upload a file I'm getting this error:

when calling dummy.ts I'm getting the userid. I'm also using getAuth from several other APIs and from my TRPC endpoints...Everything works as expected. middleware.ts: 
  import { authMiddleware } from '@clerk/nextjs'

export default authMiddleware({
  publicRoutes: ['/(.*)'],
})

export const config = {
  matcher: ['/((?!.*\\..*|_next).*)', '/(api|trpc)(.*)', '/api(.*)'],
}
  import { authMiddleware } from '@clerk/nextjs'

export default authMiddleware({
  publicRoutes: ['/(.*)'],
})

export const config = {
  matcher: ['/((?!.*\\..*|_next).*)', '/(api|trpc)(.*)', '/api(.*)'],
}
Any idea?

Is this pages or app dir If pages https://discord.com/channels/966627436387266600/1102510616326967306/1131994817245741107 If app dir, use auth not getAuth

Hi @Josh Thanks for pointing to the solution. I'm happy to see It is not coming from something I did wrong. I did try to apply the solution but I'm getting another error now client side.

Yes pages dir I can see it is related to the same error. I'll follow the topic on the uploadthing channel. Meanwhile I will remove the security for development. Going to production next month. We were planning to use uploadthing but if we do not get a proper solution we will have to drop our subscription and implement something ourselves. I would realy want to avoid to do that 😦

What's your front end code look like This looks more like a miss configuration than something wrong with ut

I'll check tomorrow. But the upload works with the previous routes handler and no getAuth...
