🐛 Bug Report: Unable to get current user session on functions using jwt

[Irutom]

👟 Reproduction steps

            import { Client} from 'node-appwrite';
            const userClient = new Client();
            const userAccount = new Account(userClient);

            userClient.setEndpoint(FUNCTIONS_END_POINT)
                .setProject(PROJECT_ID)
                .setJWT(x-appwrite-user-jwt);

            const currentSession = await userAccount.getSession('current');

👍 Expected behavior

getSession('current') should return the current user session that is being used.

👎 Actual Behavior

Fails with user_session_not_found error.

{"code":404,"type":"user_session_not_found","response":{"message":"The current user session could not be found."...}},

@Irutom, thanks for creating this issue! 🙏 I talked with team and we want to make sure the get current session API returns the session matching the session id embedded in the JWT token.

Hi @stnguyen90, Good morning and good evening! I hope you're doing great. This is my first time contributing to Appwrite. I'm having trouble replicating the issue on my end. I've followed the setup instructions and tried the reproduction steps, but I'm still facing difficulties.

Could you please provide more details on how to access and use the Appwrite Cloud function to replicate the issue?

[stnguyen90]

@nickaldwin, have you looked through these docs?

That said, you don't even need to use an Appwrite function for this. You should be able to use a client SDK to

1. Create an email password session
2. Create a JWT token

Then, use a server SDK to set the JWT token and call Get session using "current" as the ID

Hi @stnguyen90,

I hope you're well. I wanted to ask if there is a deadline for this issue. I apologize for not submitting a PR yet; this is my first time working with Appwrite, and I am still familiarizing myself with the codebase. I am very eager to work on this issue and would appreciate it if I could have some extra time to complete it. Thank you for understanding.

Hi Guys,

Were you able to solve this?

I am using this for a game that I am creating in unity. In my scenario I am saving the session in my game and hence need to verify it when user opens my game again. Thanks
