Custom JWT: remains unauthenticated despite providing the auth provider

[antoineol]

Hi team,

I am trying to make the custom JWT auth work, but the auth state remains desperately unauthenticated, despite following strictly the doc steps. There is no error, nothing else, so I suspect a step is missing, but I can't find which one.

Minimal repro: https://github.com/antoineol/convex-jwt

git clone https://github.com/antoineol/convex-jwt.git
cd convex-jwt
bun install
bun dev

FYI, steps followed to build it:

• nextjs quickstart: https://docs.convex.dev/quickstart/nextjs
• Add a minimal JWT generation + JWKS URL & data URL with jose library
• custom JWT doc steps: https://docs.convex.dev/auth/advanced/custom-jwt
• Custom OIDC > Client-side integration steps to add the hooks
• A small piece of UI to show the JWT hook + the convex hook

PS: .env.local is versioned on purpose with RSA public/private key for the demo, so that all pieces are there to reproduce.

Thanks a lot for your help! 🙏

More context: I'm trying to add a nextjs + convex app next to our product existing app (Rails + devise + postgres) with live sync, to progressively migrate some pages while preserving a nice user navigation experience. It works great, except the auth.

Edit: I have the feeling the issue is related to the useProviderXAuth (or useAuthFromProviderX) that is required to have a specific behavior (not documented here), like prefetching the token without waiting for an explicit call to fetchAccessToken / getToken. But maybe not with an initial value either? I'm still trying to clarify it.
