Documentation refers to wrong environment variable for AUTH_NO_ORIGIN error

Environment

not applicable

Reproduction

Start Nuxt using the NUXT_AUTH_ORIGIN value set in production.
The Error: AUTH_NO_ORIGIN: No origin - this is an error in production error will be thrown.

Describe the bug

The documentation at https://auth.sidebase.io/resources/error-reference#auth-no-origin refers to the NUXT_AUTH_ORIGIN environment variable, but according to https://github.com/sidebase/nuxt-auth/blob/main/docs/guide/application-side/configuration.md?plain=1#L11 the environment variable needs to be AUTH_ORIGIN.

Changing the environment variable to AUTH_ORIGIN works with version 0.9.2.

Both these env variables are interchangeable. Prior to 0.9 we asked you to set AUTH_ORIGIN, but after #837 and #848 it is now possible to also set NUXT_AUTH_ORIGIN which would also be attached to runtimeConfig by Nuxt.

See code responsible for it:

Extracting from runtimeConfig

nuxt-auth/src/runtime/server/services/utils.ts

Lines 38 to 48 in ea5dfd6

	function extractFromRuntimeConfig(config: RuntimeConfig, envVariableName: string): string | undefined {
	let normalized = envVariableName.startsWith('NUXT_')
	? envVariableName.slice(5)
	: envVariableName
	normalized = camelCase(normalized, { normalize: true })
	const extracted = config[normalized]
	return typeof extracted === 'string'
	? extracted
	: undefined
	}

From process.env:

nuxt-auth/src/runtime/server/services/utils.ts

Line 17 in ea5dfd6

const envOrigin = envFromRuntimeConfig ?? process.env[envOriginKey]

[phoenix-ru]

Reopening after some consideration as it's apparently a legitimate bug. Nuxt filters out environment variables which are not defined on runtimeConfig. See "key requirements" here: https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/runtime-config#environment-variables

---

edit: you can fix it by including

runtimeConfig: {
  authOrigin: ''
}

to your nuxt.config.ts - this should tell Nuxt it can use NUXT_AUTH_ORIGIN safely in prod

I thought originEnvKey was an optional config, but it looks like it's required even when using the runtimeconfig.authOrigin environment variable, I must use originEnvKey: "NUXT_AUTH_ORIGIN" to avoid errors ! ! !

Now it seems that my code is not wrong, but it took me a long time, so I record it here.

Am I missing something? Can anyone tell me what's going on?

• .env

NUXT_AUTH_ORIGIN="http://localhost:9090/api/auth"

Based on the above configuration, running npm run dev will still prompt:

ℹ AUTH_NO_ORIGIN: No origin - this is an error in production, see https://sidebase.io/nuxt-auth/resources/errors. You can ignore this during development

This error is so annoying.
