Description

Steps to reproduce:

Create a clerk client with the latest beta version (1.0.0-beta-v5.18) and get an organization.

import { createClerkClient } from '@clerk/backend' 

const clerk = createClerkClient({
  secretKey: env.CLERK_SECRET_KEY,
})

const org = await ctx.clerk.organizations.getOrganization({ 
  organizationId: 'org_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',  
})

Expected behavior:

Get back org correctly

Actual behavior:

It throws an error with Invalid URL string.

I tried to hunt it down and maybe found the problem:

javascript/packages/backend/src/api/request.ts

Lines 64 to 67 in 9289aaf

	const url = joinPaths(apiUrl, apiVersion, path);
	// Build final URL with search parameters
	const finalUrl = new URL(url);

joinPaths is responsible to remove double path joiners (when is it ever not a slash?):

javascript/packages/backend/src/util/path.ts

Lines 7 to 10 in 9289aaf

	return args
	.filter(p => p)
	.join(SEPARATOR)
	.replace(MULTIPLE_SEPARATOR_REGEX, SEPARATOR);

Now the args of joinPaths look something like this: ["https://api.clerk.com", "v1", "/organizations/org_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]

Unfortunately, the protocol contains a double slash as well and the result of url is:

https:/api.clerk.com/v1/organizations/org_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Notice the https:/. new URL will throw with this input

Also noticed this and reported in the Discord. However i am using "@clerk/backend": "^0.37.3", for what it is worth. Lets me believe i should maybe downgrade my version and see if that works.

@dan-lee Any chance the code is running in an edge-runtime ?

[dan-lee]

@panteliselef Yeah that's right, the code is running a Cloudflare Worker
