getRoles() wont work with mongoDB

[Sithira]

basically topic says it all.
what have i done so far is that

let user = await auth.getUser();
console.log(user.getRoles()) // user.getRoles is not a function....

but when i do

let user = await User.first();
console.log(user.getRoles())

above works. since it does not work with the auth method, it won't work on protected routes.

im using lucid-mongo

after digging into the core of the package, I' have found the issue. it's really confusing.
When i use

auth.getUser() // this wont get the roles associated to the user 

but when i use

User.find() // this returns the roles of the user. ( same user as the auth.getUser() )
