Session token received but it doesn't work

Hello friends, I tried to authenticate by following a video with next.js. At first I couldn't even log in, but I made a mistake and I fixed it. My problem now is that when I log in to the site, the session token is created and I can see it from devtools. However, logically, the logged in user should not be able to come back, but I can come back to the login page. https://github.com/HikmetMelikk/authnmore You can review the codes here and we can discuss them. Thanks in advance.

Solution:
Use the file middleware.ts (or .js) in the root of your project to define Middleware. For example, at the same level as pages or app, or inside src if applicable.

I took a very very cursory glance, so I may have missed it, but I didn't see you checking if the user is already checked in anywhere

they have this middleware defined, which checks for the session and if the route is protected or not, and routes the user accordingly

Korven•2w ago
maybe it's not being run correctly in your case?

HikmetOP•2w ago

not store session token
Korven
Korven•2w ago
right?
Hikmet
HikmetOP•2w ago
yeah
Korven
Korven•2w ago
the middleware is supposed to prevent that so there's probably a bug in there somewhere
Hikmet
HikmetOP•2w ago
actually i can store the token but why isn't working idk ahahahj

I'd recommend using a debugger and stepping through it line by line to see where it's not behaving as expected
Hikmet
HikmetOP•2w ago
could you teach that how can i debug it bcs i tried a lot or can you try my code on your local?
Korven
Korven•2w ago
I'm on my phone so that ain't an option 😬
Hikmet
HikmetOP•2w ago
oh okey np i checked my code for million time and dont understand what is wrong
Korven
Korven•2w ago
you have a different folder structure I'm seeing than the original video code maybe that's causing the issue?
Hikmet
HikmetOP•2w ago
i think that also but in next.js using src folder is optional so i dont think so but i want to try it
Korven
Korven•2w ago
try it out anyways, you can revert if not
Hikmet
HikmetOP•2w ago

so if you're using the app dir, it needs to be besides app, not inside it if I'm reading this right so yeah there you go 😄

holy shoot wait it worked oh dude you saved my mind because I was going crazy thank you so much how and where did you get that information
Korven
Korven•2w ago
i just Google Nexjs middleware reading the docs is a good habit
Hikmet
HikmetOP•2w ago
i didn't think that middleware function directory would be a problem
Korven
Korven•2w ago
