Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use <SignUpButton mode="modal">
2. Select Facebook:

3. Make sure you had already signed-up using Facebook (so this is conceptually a sign-in really) and select Continue:

Expected behavior:

The user is taken back to the site and is now logged-in.

Actual behavior:

The user is taken back to the site but is not logged-in.

The URL is http://localhost:3000/#/sso-callback and these are the requests:

Everything works fine if I use <SignInButton> instead, or if I select Already have an account? [Sign in] in the sign-up modal (before selecting Facebook):

In those cases, these are the requests:

The one I highlighted seems to be the one making auth work. And the final URL is http://localhost:3000/ (no /#/sso-callback).

I'm not using either of: NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_IN_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_UP_URL, forceRedirectUrl, signInForceRedirectUrl, signUpForceRedirectUrl.

My reasoning is that since if I first select Already have an account? [Sign in], everything works, then this is probably a bug in SignUpButton.

Thanks

This is still an issue.

[alexcarpenter]

Hey @gabrielmaldi this should have been resolved in #4961

[gabrielmaldi]

Hi, @alexcarpenter. Just tested this and it didn't work for me. From Facebook I get redirected to http://localhost:3000/sign-up#/sso-callback?sign_up_force_redirect_url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000%2F&sign_in_force_redirect_url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000%2F without having an active session. Thank you.

[alexcarpenter]

@gabrielmaldi can you provide a minimal repo of your setup that includes the issue for us to help debug.

[dstaley]

@gabrielmaldi Also would you mind confirming if this is only with Facebook login? Does the issue happen if you use Google or Microsoft?

[gabrielmaldi]

@dstaley, yes, just tested with Google and got the same result: I get redirected to http://localhost:3000/sign-up#/sso-callback (a route/page I don't have, so 404).

If I use <SignInButton> (instead of <SignUpButton>), and select either Facebook or Google, everything works fine.

@alexcarpenter, I won't have enough time to produce a minimal repo for a while, sorry.

Thanks!
