Unhandled Runtime Error Error: Clerk: auth() was called but it looks like you aren't using authMiddleware in your middleware file. Please use authMiddleware and make sure your middleware matcher is configured correctly and it matches this route or page. See https://clerk.com/docs/quickstarts/get-started-with-nextjs

The middleware.ts is on same level as app

Same problem here. Changed to node 20.1.0 and worked.

Yes, This worked, noticed you have to use the right npm package when working with clerk, some are not compatible with the latest version using version node 18.0.0 will initialize your nextjs but won't work with the api routing and authmiddleware, but when tested on new version (20.1.0) it worked.

• nvm install 20.1.0

  if you don't want to add it permanently to your bash after closing your terminal.

  you can use it again with (nvm use 20.1.0) when working on a new terminal to prevent the authmiddleware error.

make sure your middleware.ts is at the root directory, then if you are using clerk@latest install nvm i 20.1.0. confirm by checking the node -v , it must be node v - 20.1.0 . check middleware configuration and re run

which project exactly? what's your node version, nextjs version and clerk version

[Adedayo-Onabamiro]

the threads project. my node is 20.3.1, my next is 13.5.4 and my clerk is 4.25.2 i used npm and npx to check all these versions, although currently, i copied JSM's package.json, to try to fix my error and did all sorts and it didnt work.

I am running this project as well and here is the versions I am using "@clerk/nextjs": "^4.25.3", "next": "13.5.4", Node: v20.8.0

I was getting the error trying several version combos on this one, my problem was I am using a source folder and had the middleware file in the root dir, once I moved it to the src folder everything worked as expected.

I'm following Antonio's AI companion tutorial and this got me completely stuck.. Tried all the node versions, no idea what will solve this. Anyone had any luck on this particular project? middleware ts is on the same level as the app folder, node v is 20.1.0.. everything seems right.

bro have u got the solution?

Im stuck on:

node: 20.11.0 clerk: 4.29.9 next: 14.1.3

This is really frustrating. As for now I just disabled authentication by removing the middleware part from /api/uploadthing/core.ts as onUploadComplete doesn't do much with user data anyway. Obviously this is not production ready since it doesn't authenticate the user when uploading stuff... but whatever, its just educational course 👍

This is what you get when you create tutorials with xxx@latests 😮‍💨 if it works at time when @adrianhajdin creates it, it might not work on latest packages 🤷
