How to persist the signin callbackurl when user is redirected to the error page

[madeinspace]

Question 💬

I have an issue when ppl are entering the wrong credential, in the process of redirecting to the error page I lose the original callbackurl that the user is supposed to be redirected to after a successful signing.

It is actually the same if I set the error page to be the signing page, that callbackUrl is lost if users login is failing.

How can I persist that callback so the user can try again and be redirected to the original page on successful signing?

Any workaround you guys can think of? much appreciated thanks!

How to reproduce ☕️

    async authorize(credentials, req) {
    console.log('credentials: ', credentials);

    // Add logic here to look up the user from the credentials supplied
    const user = await isAuthorised(credentials, req)

    // If no error and we have user data, return it
    if (user) {
      return user
    }
    // Return null if user data could not be retrieved
    // throw new Error('error signin in') // Redirect to error page
    // return null
    // throw '/path/to/redirect'        // Redirect to a URL

   // Is there a way here or elsewhere to keep the original callbackurl so the user can be redirected on success?

  }

No, I am afraid I cannot help regarding this

I would rather not redirect to another page on error, and improve the ux by showing a message to the user. Check https://next-auth.js.org/getting-started/client#using-the-redirect-false-option

unfortunately, I'm using SSR with a custom signiin page and that SignIn() function is client-side only apparently.

I'm thinking of storing the original callbackUrl in a cookie for retrieval if signing fail but that doesn't feel great haha

And yes ideally I'd prefer to stay on the signing page and display an error message there but I don't see how this is possible in my situation (SSR and custom signin)

EDIT: Actually that works, thanks for the heads up. I'll use the query to display an appropriate error message. Thanks heaps!
