User::authenticated() returning true despite "Provided token does not exist."

[seifip]

There seem to be issues with User::authenticated(), possibly related to userapp-io/userapp-angular#6

Every once in a while, quite randomly, User::authenticated() starts returning true yet when I try to access any of the user properties throws exception 'UserApp\Exceptions\ServiceException' with message 'Unable to authenticate as user. Provided token does not exist.'

The only fix is to clear cache & cookies, refresh and relogin.

ex.:

if(User::authenticated()){
    try{
        $user = User::current();
        if($user->hasPermission("admin")){
            echo("User is admin!\n");
        }
        echo $user->email;
    }
    catch(Exception $e){
        echo $e;
    }
}

sometimes starts throwing:

exception 'UserApp\Exceptions\ServiceException' with message 'Unable to authenticate as user. Provided token does not exist.' in

This issue occurs when the local session thinks that it's logged in, but the remote session has expired. That is why it might occur random. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Will start working on a fix.

The latest version that I have pushed should resolve this issue. This version also adds support for listening to client events. So my recommendation is that you listen to the event 'unauthorized', and if the user is not authorized, you can just redirect them to your login page.

The following should work:

User::onUnauthorized(function($sender, $call_context, $error){
    header("Location: /login.php");
    die();
});

Let me know how this works for you :-)

Cheers!

Closing this issue since there has been no response in a week and a bug fix has been issued that should resolve the issue.
