Middleware for NextJS

Hi guys, can i check if i'm planning to use middleware.ts i'm supposed to use node-appwrite right? I'm using just the appwrite one and it doesn't seem to work.

Keeps saying i'm not authenticated while i already am

TL;DR

Developers are experiencing authentication issues when using middleware in NextJS with the 'appwrite' library instead of 'node-appwrite'. It is recommended to use 'node-appwrite' for authentication in middleware.ts.

In addition i've tried

TypeScript

import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'
import { appwriteServerAccount } from './lib/server/appwriteServer'


export async function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
    if (request.nextUrl.pathname.startsWith('/dashboard')) {
        const user = await appwriteServerAccount.get();
        console.log(user)

        if (!user) {
            return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/login', request.url))
        }
    }

    return NextResponse.next()
}

export const config = {
    matcher: ['/dashboard/:path*'],
}

and

TypeScript

import { Account } from 'node-appwrite';
import { Client } from 'node-appwrite';

const appwriteServerClient = new Client();

appwriteServerClient
    .setEndpoint(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_ENDPOINT as string)
    .setProject(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID as string)
    .setKey(process.env.APPWRITE_SECRET_API_KEY as string);


export const appwriteServerAccount = new Account(appwriteServerClient);
export default appwriteServerClient;

But it still says i'm not authenticated
