This has now happened for the Session.getAllSessionHandlesForUser and the ThirdPartyPasswordless.getUserById functions
dunno, maybe Sails is weird

uhmm.. Well, you have to make sure that you call the init function before you use any of our functions.
Are you using Any other recipe other than Sessions and ThirdPartyPasswordless?

and I do call the init immediately when the app starts

What does this mean?

06/08/2022, 5:59 PMfor example the ThirdPartyPasswordless.getUserById function. It works through many calls, then when I call it from this one place it doesn't
the place it doesn't work is a Sails controller, so the only explanation I can think of is that Sails loads controllers somehow weirdly. But I init supertokens before Sails so.... 🤷♂️
from experience I can tell that when something behaves "weirdly" the fault is somewhere in MY code haha 😄
but I can't figure this one out

06/08/2022, 6:03 PMhmm. The only explanantion is that the sails controller is happning before supertokens.init
so maybe find a place to run supertokens.init that runs before the controller
(i know i am stating the obvious, but im not familiar with sails)
