createSession method doesn't return the `providerUID` in node-appwrite

Hi, I am trying to get the user uid from github on the server side in Nuxt. After login the session response it has the providerUid as empty string . I also tried with get the current session or current user is the same result.

I am using appwrite 1.5.3 selfhosted with nuxt and node-appwrites@latest

my code: login

TypeScript

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  const config = useRuntimeConfig(event);
  const { account } = useAppwriteAdminClient(event);

  try {
    const redirectUrl = await account.createOAuth2Token(
      'github',
      `${config.public.api.url}/oauth`,
      `${config.public.api.url}/login`,
      ['read:user', 'user:email']
    );

    return redirectUrl;
  } catch (error) {
    console.log('OAUTH ERROR', error);
  }
});

TypeScript

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  const { userId, secret } = getQuery<{ userId: string; secret: string }>(
    event
  );

  if (!userId || !secret) {
    return await sendRedirect(event, '/login');
  }

  const config = useRuntimeConfig(event);
  const { account } = useAppwriteAdminClient(event);

  try {
    const session = await account.createSession(userId, secret);
    console.log('SESSION', session);
    const cookieName = APPWRITE_COOKIE_NAME;

    setCookie(event, cookieName, session.secret, {
      domain: config.public.app.url,
      expires: new Date(session.expire),
      path: '/',
      httpOnly: true,
      secure: true,
      sameSite: 'strict'
    });

    return await sendRedirect(event, '/dashboard');
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
});

thank you

TL;DR

Issue: `providerUid` in the session response is an empty string when trying to get the user `uid` from GitHub in a Nuxt app using node-appwrite. Solution: - Check the appwrite version compatibility with the current setup. - Ensure proper configuration for OAuth2 token creation with GitHub. - Verify the correct usage of `createSession` method to fetch the user session details. - Review the session data and handling to ensure providerUid is populated correctly. Remember to validate the setup, configurations, and usage for proper retrieval of `providerUid` in the session response.
