Cookie cache does not refresh

When using the cookie cache, the session_data cookie is not refreshed if I read the session data on the server. It refreshes if I client side do const session = authClient.useSession(), but not if I read it on the server with const session = await authClient.api.getSession({ headers }) Is it not supposed to?

are you using authClient or auth.api on the server?

auth.api

It's most likely because it wasn't able to set the cookie on the client when you call getSession on the server. This could be due to calling it on RSC or not using the nextCookies plugin.

Solis-start, just calling it in a query(()=>{}) server function. Is there a way to manually get the same behavior? So what would be the best way around this @bekacru? Just pop a unused client side authClient.useSession() at the top level? Or is there a server side mechanism we can use to refresh the cookie cache?

you can call auth.api.getSession

await auth.api.getSession({
  query: {
    disableCookieCahce: true
  }
})

await auth.api.getSession({
  query: {
    disableCookieCahce: true
  }
})

But I don't want to disable cookie cache, I want it to be enabled and refresh itself. I'm already calling auth.api.getSession(). I just want it to also refresh the cookie cache after expiry.

This is just one time call to refersh the cookie It'll refersh by itself when the maxAge is reached but if you need to refresh it immeditley you can do this.

That's what the problem is. It doesn't refresh when calling it server side

If you're using solid, you'd need to set the cookie manually.

Are there any utility methods for doing that in the same way as better-auth?

const { headers } = await auth.api.getSession({  
  returnHeaders: true
})
//you need to parse the setCookie headers from these header and set it using whatever way solid recommends to set cookies on the server

const { headers } = await auth.api.getSession({  
  returnHeaders: true
})
//you need to parse the setCookie headers from these header and set it using whatever way solid recommends to set cookies on the server

Ah okay, it returns new headers. Didn't know that. Thanks!
