set_session not working

[sangonzal]

Describe the bug

My understanding is that set_session should take in a jwt, and set the session on the supabase client, but when I call set_session with a valid access token, and then right after call get_session, I get back None.

To Reproduce

url = "http://localhost:54321"
key = ""
jwt = ""

supabase: Client = create_client(url, key)

def custom_decode_jwt_payload(token: str):
    _, payload, _ = token.split(".")
    payload += "=" * (-len(payload) % 4)
    payload = base64.urlsafe_b64decode(payload)
    return json.loads(payload)

supabase.auth._decode_jwt = custom_decode_jwt_payload

session = supabase.auth.set_session(jwt, "")
supabase.auth.set_session

print("session: ", supabase.auth.get_session())

Sidenote: I'm currently using thecustom_decode_jwt_payload as a workaround for supabase/supabase-py#395.

Expected behavior
Return the new session, and the supabase client can access protected resources.

same, also it makes it unable to authenticate on lot of functions
Is this lib abadonware in the opensource community?

Just realizing I can't do this. dying

I'm not fully understanding the reproduction steps, can you please provide an example repo with this issue for me to take a look at?

You need to provide the refresh token of the session to set the session. (I don't know why the refresh token is needed but it works)

session = supabase.auth.set_session(jwt, refresh_token)

Closing this out as there has been no activity on this issue from OP over a month now.

Tracing through the code because I hit this as well. I was able to work around this by setting persist_session = False in the client options.
This is because set_session calls _save_session, which looks like this:

    def _save_session(self, session: Session) -> None:
        if not self._persist_session:
            self._in_memory_session = session
        ...

I think this should be a one-line fix to remove the conditional, will give it a shot
