Error 400 "ClientResponseError 400: Failed to authenticate." but still works - Next.JS

Issue:

When hardcoding the e-mail and password for authentication it works without error. But when using enviroment variables it throws an error but is still able to fetch the data.

Provided information:

Marked in red is the wanted results: Thus it works, but it still throws an error. O.o

code:

...
const client = new PocketBase('https://example.com');
const adminAuthData = await client.admins.authViaEmail(process.env.USERNAME, process.env.PASSWORD);
console.log(adminAuthData);
const resultList = await client.records.getList('forums', 1, 50, {
  filter: 'created >= "2022-01-01 00:00:00"',
});
...
<div>
        {resultList.items.map((item, i) => (
                <div key={i}>
                  // Show all things which you want
                  <br/>
                  {i}
                  <br/>
                  {item.title}
                  <br/>
                  {i}
                  <br/>
                  {item.description}
                </div>
            ))
        }
      </div>

Temporary solution idea i tried:

catching the error and ignoring it, but this could lead to a later issue where authentication actually does not work and I would not get the necessary error.

Result of temporary fix idea:

Yet this just shoves the const variable out of scope and nothing works As it is a promise i made it ignore the error with:

const adminAuthData = await client.admins.authViaEmail(process.env.USERNAME, process.env.PASSWORD).catch((error) =>{});

I do not like this temprorary solution because of the mentioned probable issue later on.

@PeterAlfonsLoch The above code will execute twice - once in your node-server and second time in the browser (to verify add a console.log('hello') and open the browser console).

You have to wrap it in a server-only handler.

I’ll close the issue because this is not related to the SDK, but let me know if you are still having difficulties making it work and I’ll review it in more details later this evening.

You are right.

In my eagerness to get to use pocketbase I did not correctly use my brain. I am sorry to have wasted your time.
