Describe the issue

I tried getServerSession in getInitialProps to make session available on all pages in SSR, but I got error Can't resolve 'v8', but it's fine if tried it in getServerSideProps. So is it a bug or is it just not possible to call getServerSession on getServerSideProps?

here's the code:

MyApp.getInitialProps = async (appContext: AppContext): Promise<any> => {
  const appProps = await App.getInitialProps(appContext)

  // Not error.
  const session = await getSession(appContext.ctx)
  // Error: Can't resolve 'v8'.
  const serverSession = await getServerSession(appContext.ctx, nextAuthOptions)

  return {
    ...appProps,
    pageProps: {
      ...appProps.pageProps,
      session,
    },
  }
}

How to reproduce

Just run npm install and npm run dev to get the error.

Expected behavior

I expect getServerSession to work on getInitialProps, but if it's not possible is there work around this so I don't have to use getInitialProps on every pages?

[balazsorban44]

getInitialProps also runs in the browser, so it's not possible, no.

You can rather try our Middleware instead to lock down the entire app in a single line

pages/_middleware.js

export { default } from "next-auth/middleware"

I see, thank you!

@balazsorban44 Since Next JS v12 removed _middleware.ts in favor of the Edge middleware.ts, how can we do this in _app.tsx::getInitialProps() if we're using a database adapter?

Doing it on every page is nice, but that is a lot of copy and paste and it would be cleaner to centralize this logic.
