auth.api.getSession not refreshing session_data cookie
Hi,
I am using better-auth with sveltekit.
My auth.ts has session.cookieCache to true and maxAge of 1 second for testing purposes.
After the better-auth.session_data expires, it clears from my browser, as expected.
In my sveltekit hooks.server.ts, I'm using auth.api.getSession.
this doesn't refresh the session_data cookie. I only see the session_token instead.
If I use authClient.useSession() from client side, it refreshes the cookie. I see both session_token and session_data cookies.
Is this expected behaviour? Does api.getSession not refresh the cookie on purpose?

the issue is when you use
api.getSession it can't set the cookie in your browser unless you do it manually2 Replies
