Random Login with Token Error - App not redirecting to login page

help
1

So sometimes, seemingly randomly, I am running into login Errors. Sometimes after a server restart, sometimes if something changes in the use collection of mongo.
Anyways … in that case my react app shows an endless loading spinner, since the user is not logged in.

What is very weird is the error in the console:

Also, in some other cases, I can see the following error once in the console:
Something like:

Error Login with token (403). Please login again.

So why is my app not redirecting to my login page in that case?

  const loggingIn = Meteor.loggingIn()
  const user = Meteor.user();
  if(user) user.email = user.emails && user.emails[0] && user.emails[0].address || null;
  return {
    currentUser: user,
    loggingIn,
    authenticated: !loggingIn && !!Meteor.userId()
  }

In my routes I always redirect to my login page if(!loggingIn && !authenticated) { return <Redirect to="/login"/> } - or am I missing something?

Can anyone help?

I assume you’re using ReactRouter?

In that case you better use this.props.history.push('/login');

You also can simplify the whole thing down to if(!user) this.props.history.push('/login');

Thanks, I am already using both versions for redirects. I don’t think that’s the problem, I think somehow the 403 Meteor Error is not triggering any redirects as the client/React still “thinks” it is logged in?!

in general, i think its bad to redirect because of authentification.

instead, simply render the login form instead of the actual page if that route needs authentification.

then you will probably get rid of this problem
