V6: Auth Login not working

[simonjcarr]

Hi, I have the following code in my controller for registering a user

 public async store({ request, response, inertia, auth }: HttpContext) { 
        const data = request.all()
        const payload = await createUserValidator.validate(data)
        try {
            const newUser = new User()
            newUser.first_name = payload.firstName
            newUser.last_name = payload.lastName
            newUser.email = payload.email
            newUser.password = payload.password
            await newUser.save()
            await auth.use('web').login(newUser)
            console.log(result, auth.isAuthenticated)
            return inertia.render('home')
        } catch (error) {
            console.log(error)
            return inertia.render('auth/Register', {
                errors: error.messages
            })
        }
        return inertia.render('home')
    }

}

After creating the user, the user should be logged in with

await auth.use('web').login(newUser)

The user is created in the database but auth.isAuthenticated returns false

Am I doing something wrong?

Make sure your endpoint that expects user to be logged-in is using the Auth middleware
