Description

We have three Remix apps that use the same Clerk app for authentication. All three apps are hosted on the same domain:

• app1.domain
• app2.domain
• app3.domain

We've been developing and deploying just fine until we upgraded to the latest Remix 1.8.1, which has routing changes and changes to how throw responses are handled by CatchBoundary, which is why I suspect the issue is either in ClerkApp or ClerkCatchBoundary.

Right now we just get a 401 and then nothing. The interstitial never loads (which is what's responsible for loading clerk_browser.js if I'm understanding things correctly).

Instead of data.clerkState.__internal_clerk_state, I get a message 🔒 Clerk: This state shouldn't be possible. Please reach out to support@clerk.dev so we can help...

@gsong Thanks for reporting this. We are aware of this issue and we are already working on a fix.

I'd like to give a quick update on this. It looks like Remix 1.8 introduced a breaking change or an unintended bug that affects how the root Remix CatchBoundary behaves under certain conditions.

We'll be releasing a temporary hotfix with our release tomorrow, while waiting for a response by the Remix team.

@nikosdouvlis Thank you for the thorough investigation on this, really impressed.

@gsong Thank you! :)

This is going to be fixed by remix-run/react-router#9702 in an upcoming Remix release - possibly the next one.

However, I'd also like to let you know that we've released @clerk/remix@1.4.2 which includes a hotfix that should unblock you until the official Remix fix is out. Feel free to try it out and please let me know if you hit any issues.

@nikosdouvlis I can confirm that the hot fix worked for our use case.
