Auth0 login fails with "TypeError: "secret" is required"

See original GitHub issue

Description

I have followed the Auth0 for Next.js instructions. This is not working locally either.

TypeError: "secret" is required
    at Object.get (/app/node_modules/@auth0/nextjs-auth0/dist/auth0-session/get-config.js:147:15)
    at Object.getConfig (/app/node_modules/@auth0/nextjs-auth0/dist/config.js:66:38)

    at getSession (/app/node_modules/@auth0/nextjs-auth0/dist/index.js:60:18)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/app/node_modules/@auth0/nextjs-auth0/dist/helpers/with-page-auth-required.js:23:35)

    at new Promise (<anonymous>)

Reproduction

export default initAuth0({
  clientID: authCid,
  clientSecret: 'val',
  secret: 'val',
  baseURL: 'val',
  issuerBaseURL: 'val',
  httpTimeout: 'val',
  authorizationParams: {
    response_type: 'code',
    scope: 'val'
  },
  session: {
    name: 'val',
    rollingDuration: 'val'
  }
});


import auth0 from '../../../lib/auth0';
export default auth0.handleAuth();

I am creating my own instance by passing values manually. I am not setting any environment variable are AUTH0_SECRET, and AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET are required even if I use to create an instance

"@auth0/nextjs-auth0": "1.6.1",
 "next": "11.1.2",

Hi @sajid-dev

If you initialize your own instance of the SDK with initAuth0 - you need to use the server methods from that instance. eg

const auth0 = initAuth0();

const { withPageAuthRequired } = auth0;

You can’t mix instance methods and named exports (when you use named exports, we create an instance for you using your environment variables) - see https://auth0.github.io/nextjs-auth0/modules/config.html#2-create-your-own-instance-using-initauth0 for more info
