3 months ago I'm seeing a similar issue. In my case, I'm trying to listen for the tokenRefresh event, and I've set up my Hub listener inside a useEffect with an empty dependency list. Despite my tokens having a very short expiration (5 minutes), the tokenRefresh event never fires. I think we might have a similar underlying cause.

3 months ago @amoffat could be the case. I would imagine this issue is effecting all events rather than just the signInWithRedirect that we are wanting.

3 months ago hello @cekpowell . Did you try placing Hub inside a useEffect in the layout file of your next.js App ?
cekpowell
commented
3 months ago Hey @israx - does it specifically have to be the root layout for the app? Mine is a server component and I was under the impression making it a client component would be bad practice. Is this the setup you use?
Anyway, I tested it with a layout file for the signIn page and still no difference - the Hub is still not catching any events.

3 months ago Hub was design to be used in SPA applications, meaning that Hub events will be dispatched in the same window object where it was initiated. So if Hub is initialized at the top of the element tree, then Amplify APIs called in any children components will be able to trigger the dispatch of events.
If you are calling an API on the server, and initializing Hub on the client, that would not work because there are 2 different instances of Hub.

3 months ago I'm using Hub client side in an SPA. Here's what I noticed: the auth event with the tokenRefreshed payload is only received by Hub when I call fetchAuthSession. Apparently this triggers Amplify to realize that the token is expired, which in turn fires the Hub event. But I was under the impression that the token refreshes would happen out-of-band, and that I could respond to those asynchronously through Hub, without triggering Amplify via fetchAuthSession

3 months ago Thanks @israx. I have tried placing the Hub in my AuthProvider which sits at the top of my app, and im my root layout.tsx file and im still finding that if the Hub is placed inside a useEffect, no events are being fired.
Should the Hub work in this case? I need to listen to auth events so I can update state, and I can only update state inside a useEffect.

3 months ago @amoffat the library will check and emit the tokenRefresh event only when the access token is expired and the fetchAuthSession API is called. In order to support your use case the library needs to setup a listener and call fetchAuthSession when tokens are expired. Do you mind opening a feature request with us to keep track of this feature ?

3 months ago @cekpowell could you share code snippets and show how you are setting up Hub and what APIs you are using to trigger the dispatch of events ?

3 months ago Sure thing:
I have an AuthProvider component which provides auth state/update methods. it also has a Hub defined in a useEffect which should be able to listen to auth events. Here is a slimmed down version of it:
'use client'
import { decodeCognitoIdToken } from '@/utils/jwt'
import { AppSessionStorage, AppSessionStorageKeys } from '@/utils/sessionStorage'

const useAuthProvider = () => {

const [userDetails, setUserDetails] = useState<AppUserDetails | undefined>(undefined)
useEffect(() => {

console.log(payload)

return unsubscribe
}, [])

*/
const signInViaSocial = async ({ provider }: SignInSocialParams) => {
try {

AppSessionStorage.setItem(AppSessionStorageKeys.ACTIVE_SOCIAL_PROVIDER, provider)
// signing in via social

throw new Error(SignInViaSocialErrors.unknown)

export const useAuth = () => {
return useContext(AuthContext)
}This AuthProvider is then wrapped around my RootLayout component like so:
const RootLayout = async ({
children,
}: Readonly<{
children: React.ReactNode
}>) => {
// fetching app locale using next-intl
const locale = await getLocale()
return (
<html lang={locale} suppressHydrationWarning>
{/* remove default margin */}
<body style={{ margin: 0 }}>
<AuthProvider>{children}</AuthProvider>
</body>
</html>
)
}
export default RootLayout
Finally, in my Sign In screen, I am calling the signInViaSocial method from the auth provider for one of Google, Facebook and Apple based on what button the user presses. This functionality works fine - I can log in, be redirected back to the app, its just that no event is fired from the Hub.

Gotcha, so my Hub issue is unrelated to this issue then. I'll open the feature request.

3 months ago @cwomack @israx - just a thought here. It seems the underlying issue is that the app is unmounted following signInWithRedirect, and thus the Hub is removed. Is it possible to perform the signInWithRedirect in a new tab to prevent this?
israx
commented
3 months ago Yes you can signIn in a different tab as long as Hub.listen was called before signInWithRedirect API and the listener is still active. Probably you can stop the listener after a successful event and not on a component unmount

3 months ago @cekpowell, did the comments from @israx help unblock or clear the issue up here? Let us know if there is anything else that we can help with.

2 months ago Hi @cwomack - unfortunately not - this issue is still blocking me, and I have resulted to using a combination of a useEffect and local storage data.
Are you able to confirm if this is in-fact a bug with the SDK? It seems like a very crucial part of functionality that isn't working properly.

1 month ago Hi, I hope my comments are useful as this is new to me. However, following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcSMnICY-_8 I encounter the same problem! Using the code from the github library specified in the video i.e. https://github.com/ErikCH/CodeFirstTypeSafety I can get it working, but effectively I'm regressing to the previous version specified in the video. And believing its a version problem, here's the diff of my two package.json's

Hope this helps! C.
P.S. This turned out to be a caching problem; clearing the "token" cache in the browser, resolved the problem and to be fair the video explains this ...

1 month ago The same issue is happening to me with the same setup. Has this been verified as a real bug, or are we doing something wrong with the setup? I was blocked for a few days with this and had to opt for manually handling it. It would be nice to have an official guide, though.

Describe the bug
TLDR
If i place a
Hub.listeninto auseEffectinside a component, theHubnever fires any events, and so I cannot handle the events and update my state accordingly. If i take theHubout of theuseEffect, it correctly fires, but I cannot update component state from outside of theuseEffectas the component has not yet mounted.Full Description & Context
I have a NextJS app that uses the Amplify SDK to handle Authentication. I am not using the Amplify CLI, but connecting to an existing AWS backend I have defined.
I have implemented sign in via social providers (Google, Apple and Facebook), and I am successfully re-directed to the provider, able to sign in, and be re-directed back to the app. Now, I would like to listen for the redirect auth event in my app so that I can update my system auth state (managed in a context) with the user's details, or handle errors if there are any, and then re-direct the user to the next screen.
As per the docs, I am trying to do this with a
Hub.listeninside auseEffectin the page component. However, no event is ever fired when I am re-directed back to the app. If I take theHub.listenout of auseEffect, or out of the component all together, then the event is fired, but I am no longer able to update my system context (as this must be done inside a component after mounting).I am guessing the event is not firing inside
useEffectbecause the app is unmounted when the redirect takes place, but then this raises the question of how I am meant to listen to re-direct auth events using the hub?I have found this existing issue which has been closed, but recent comments suggest others are still facing this problem.
Expected behavior
The
Hublistener should fire an event forsignInWithRedirect.Reproduction steps
Hublistener which just logs the incoming payload, as done in the docs here. Also, place aHublistener outside of theuseEffect.signInWithRedirect, and when redirected back to the app after sign in, the hub in theuseEffectwill not fire any events, but the one inside theuseEffectwill.Code Snippet
