Auth State Lost During Navigation or Redirect
User logs in successfully but gets redirected to login page again. Auth state is lost after clicking a link or navigating. Session appears to end prematurely during redirect flow.
Auth state must persist during navigation. If state isn't properly restored from storage before redirect, users see login page again.
Error Messages You Might See
Unauthorized
Session expired
Auth required
Common Causes
- Auth state listener not initialized before redirect
- Navigation happening before session restored from storage
- Auth context not providing state to whole app
- sessionStorage or localStorage cleared on redirect
- Multiple auth context providers conflicting
How to Fix It
Initialize auth state before rendering routes:
function App() {
const [session, setSession] = useState(null);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
useEffect(() => {
const { data } = supabase.auth.onAuthStateChange((event, session) => {
setSession(session);
setLoading(false);
});
return () => data?.unsubscribe();
}, []);
if (loading) return Loading...;
return session ? : ;
