Hi! I am trying to put some data into the user's session. From what I read in the documentation, it says that I should override the default

createNewSession

implementation. I am trying to do so, but the new function doesn't seem to get called. Here is a code snippet

ts
SessionNode.init({
    override: {
        functions: (originalImplementation) => {
            return {
                ...originalImplementation,
                createNewSession: async function (input) {
                    console.log("function is working!"); // <-- this doesn't get logged

                    return originalImplementation.createNewSession(
                        input
                    );
                },
            };
        },
    },
}),

Can you tell me if I am doing something wrong? Thanks in advance

Hey!

I am following the Email Password + Social Login recipe

Are you calling the sign in or sign up API? Via the frontend of via postman?

I have tested both from the frontend

which API have you called from the frontend?

I am using the default UI provided from SuperTokens

hmm thats odd. Are you sure you have rebuilt your code? Can you add a console log somewhere near when you call supertokens.init to see if that gets printend?

Yes I am sure. I have another override in the same config which gets called

I see. When you make the login request from the frontend, do you get back session tokens?

I have to check. I am currently not on a computer, but once I get back I will check.

alright

Hi. I checked and I receive session tokens. In fact if I use

mergeIntoAccessTokenPayload

method it extends the session properly. This still doesn't solve my problem though since I need the

createNewSession

override to work.

This is very strange. Almost everyone requires to override createNewSession and it always gets called. Maybe there is some silly config issue. Can you show me your entire init code? Including supertokens.init. Are you sure you are not doing supertokens.init on the backend twice? (One without the override which executes first)

oh btw, you have your API key in the above file, and this channel is public

Oh thanks for telling me about the API key. I will change it right away. That's interesting, I will do some more debugging I guess. Thanks for the help

cool
