Cant Get Is Authenticated and isAuthenticated functions to work when using Wallet Connect

Technical Issue Reporting
#1

serverURL: https://yvwgzdhsrqkj.moralisweb3.com:2053/server

Code:

function WalletConnectAuthentication() {

  var user = Moralis.Web3.authenticate({ provider: "walletconnect" });
  Moralis.Web3.getSigningData = () => 'Welcome to SpacePath Marketplace! Please sign in to create an account.';

};

Function above is targeteted by an onClick event listener

useEffect(() => {

    if(isAuthenticating){
      setVisibleModal(true);
      setAuthenticaionChecker(false);
      setLoadingMessage("Authenticating through WalletConnect")
    };
    if(isAuthenticated){
      setVisibleModal(false);
      setAuthenticaionChecker(false);
    };
}, [visibleModal, visibleErrorModal, isAuthenticating, isAuthenticated]);

The useEffect works when I use the default authenticate function, but not when I make the provider WalletConnect

Wallet Connect also displays an error when I close out the QR code. If anyone knows how to fix these issues that would be great.

Hey @thutch

Thank you for the report. I’ve tested and have the same problem: isAuthenticating doesn’t work with walletConnect. You can create your own state of authenticating event. Something like setLoading() but the Moralis dev team will fix it as soon is it possible :man_mechanic:

We will add better walletconnect supporting. You need to use try and await for catching error.

  async function WalletConnectAuthentication() {
    try {
      var user = await Moralis.Web3.authenticate({ provider: "walletconnect" });
    } catch (error) {
      if (error == "Error: User closed modal") {
        alert("You have closed modal");
      } else {
        alert(error);
      }
    }
  }

Is there any way to specify the getSigningData function with walletconnect?
