signUp on server-side not sending sendVerificationEmail()

Since the changes in v0.4.12 (though I’m not 100% sure), sendVerificationEmail() is no longer triggered automatically when I call auth.api.signUpEmail(). Next.js Server-Action: 
    await auth.api.signUpEmail({
      body: {
        email,
        password,
        name,
        callbackURL: "/auth/login",
      },
      asResponse: true,
    });
...
    await auth.api.signUpEmail({
      body: {
        email,
        password,
        name,
        callbackURL: "/auth/login",
      },
      asResponse: true,
    });
...
auth.ts: 
export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: prismaAdapter(prisma, {
    provider: "postgresql",
  }),
...
  emailAndPassword: {
    enabled: true,
    requireEmailVerification: true,
  },
  emailVerification: {
    sendOnSignup: true,
    sendVerificationEmail: async (user, url) => {
      console.log("Sending verification email to", user.email);
      await sendVerificationEmailNodemailer(user.email, url);
    },
  },
...
export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: prismaAdapter(prisma, {
    provider: "postgresql",
  }),
...
  emailAndPassword: {
    enabled: true,
    requireEmailVerification: true,
  },
  emailVerification: {
    sendOnSignup: true,
    sendVerificationEmail: async (user, url) => {
      console.log("Sending verification email to", user.email);
      await sendVerificationEmailNodemailer(user.email, url);
    },
  },
...
Yes, I can manually call sendVerificationEmail() in my server action but I don’t think that’s the intended way to handle this: 
    await auth.api.sendVerificationEmail({
      body: { email, callbackURL: "/auth/login" },
      asResponse: true,
    });
    await auth.api.sendVerificationEmail({
      body: { email, callbackURL: "/auth/login" },
      asResponse: true,
    });

It's also not working on the demo site both send on sign up and resending do not send also invites to an organization aren't sending invites either

Ok, I think this is important information because the demo site uses the client library.

The demo works, but it's not sending on signup because the auth config hasn't been updated since the last changes. But @future42 try it with the latest version and let me know if it's still an issue. this could be cause of resend, I'll check.

Nope. With “better-auth”: “^0.5.2-beta.7”, it doesn't work.

Ok we can close this issue. I have written the “Up” in lower case for sendOnSignUp: true. 
// Package: sign-up.ts
if (ctx.context.options.emailVerification?.sendOnSignUp) {

The Docs are wrong: https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/email#1-during-sign-up i create an PR on Github: Fix typo: corrected capitalization issue. #263
