Possible bug (remix): backend getAuth returning null but frontend useAuth returning logged in user

[setvik]

Pinging before i dive in further to see if anyone else is seeing this.

I have a Remix 2.0.1 Express installation with Clerk 3.0.6. Clerk works fine locally with the "development" Clerk environment, but when i deploy and use the "production" Clerk environment, I can sign in as a user in the frontend without issue, but the Remix backend does not see the user: getAuth() says the user is signed out.

Anyone have thoughts on what might be causing this?

I'm observing the exact same thing - as soon as I've moved into production, getAuth no longer seems to work.
So far I'm completely stumped as to why, and the docs don't say anything about it.

Did you have any luck?

Ahh right okay so it just simply doesn't work, as I think you noticed over in sO haha.

For anyone else - this link has the solution.

Having the same issue. const { user } = await getAuth(args); in my loaders has user as undefined, but the hook const { user } = useUser(); works fine.

Edit: Ah you're supposed to do const user = await createClerkClient({ secretKey: process.env.CLERK_SECRET_KEY }).users.getUser(userId);

I was using @clerk/nextjs (4.25.7) and had a similar issue. Upgrading to version 4.29.3 resolved the bug.
