Description

Steps to reproduce:

Try calling 'getAuth' from the lib, in dev mode

Expected behavior: will only return: { ... [1] sessionId: 'example session id, [1] userId: 'example user id', [1]

seems like everything is null, it was supposed to come with a userId and a sessionId.

Actual behavior: will only return: { [1] sessionClaims: null, [1] sessionId: null, [1] userId: null, [1] actor: null, [1] orgId: null, [1] orgRole: null, [1] orgSlug: null, [1] orgPermissions: null, [1] __experimental_factorVerificationAge: null, [1] getToken: [Function: getToken], [1] has: [Function: has], [1] debug: [Function (anonymous)], [1]

seems like everything is null, it was supposed to come with a userId and a sessionId.

Hello! I'm sorry you're experiencing this issue. I just tested it locally and was able to get the correct results.

How are you using it? Could you provide a basic reproduction?

Also, I notice you're using @clerk/clerk-sdk-node. We advise migrating to @clerk/backend for pure Node projects or @clerk/express for Express projects.
