Cube.js: invalid token

Question

In the server of cubejs, I generated a token by cubejs token -e "180 day".

Then I assign it to CUBEJS_API_SECRET in .env; and assign it to const cubejsApi = cubejs(.... Then I launched the backend and the frontend, I got the following error:

Invalid Token: {
  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE1ODg5MzQyOTYsImV4cCI6MTYwNDQ4NjI5Nn0.RVdHlpfubXDgwG1FRYbUm-UDLVBjnb-HSVTK5bEy-ZU"
}

Regardless of this error, it seems that the data query worked. Does anyone know what happened?

CUBEJS_API_SECRET is generated by default when Cube.js project is created. Unless you want to redefine it you don't need to assign it in .env file. You should only pass it to cubejs() on client side. Please see https://cube.dev/docs/security#generating-token.
