Basically I want to update expiration date so I need to get session token from cookies. Works on server actions but I can't get value in middleware or API routes even if I call server action inside.

I think its better to do that in middleware

14.1.3

also tried setting as httpOnly cookie

  cookies().set("session", session.token, {
    expires: expirationDate,
    httpOnly: true,
  });

@Mugimaki Flycatcher 14.1.3

upgraded still same happened but found out that i get cookies in middleware but not in api route ðŸ˜•

not sure if upgrading had effect on middleware getting cookies

  await fetch("http://localhost:3000/api/update-session");
  console.log(request.cookies.getAll());

api route

export const dynamic = "force-dynamic";
export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const sessionToken = cookies().get("session")?.value;
  const sessionToken2 = request.cookies.get("session")?.value;
  console.log({ sessionToken });
  console.log({ sessionToken2 });

  const sessionTokenFromServerAction = await getToken();
  console.log({ sessionTokenFromServerAction });
