Reproduction

When using this code and performing SSR request (when this code is executed on server side)

useCookie('myCookie').value = '123';
await navigateTo('/test');

cookie “myCookie” is not set

Describe the bug

Setting cookie together with redirecting doesn’t work when executing SSR request

Additional context

A bit context why is this needed. When using external auth server it redirect to callback url together with the token (for example http://localhost:3000/loggedIn?accessToken=abcd). I want to write down this token to the cookie and redirect user further (for example http://localhost:3000/dashboard), so I need both set cookie and redirect functionality

Logs

On simple pages it just silently fails, in more complex case I see the following warning:

[nitro] [dev] [unhandledRejection] Error [ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT]: Cannot set headers after they are sent to the client

You are right. useCookie has a differed behavior that is not handling redirect. @danielroe will work on a fix shortly 😃

@pi0 in my case the navigation is the last operation, that’s why I perceived it as a bug (I expected cookie header to be set at the point navigation starts)
