openBalena: "Cannot GET /whoami" or "Cannot GET /user/v1/refresh-token" errors #2211

As originally reported in a forum thread: Balena cli login expired very soon

Within an hour or so of logging in with balena login, running any other CLI command may result in an authentication error:

> balena apps --debug
[debug] new argv=[/home/xxx/balena-cli-v12.38.8/balena,/snapshot/versioned-source/bin/balena,apps] length=3
BalenaRequestError: Request error: <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Error</title>
</head>
<body>
<pre>Cannot GET /whoami</pre>
</body>
</html>

Logging in again with balena login works around this issue for another hour or so.

On investigation, we found that the problem is in the balena-request module, which is a dependency of balena's Node SDK. The SDK and that module have already been fixed in the following pull requests, that produced Node SDK v15.30.0:

However, before Node SDK v15.30.0 can be used by the balena CLI, a new backend endpoint (/user/v1/refresh-token) needs to be added to openBalena, as further detailed in issue https://github.com/balena-io/open-balena-api/issues/575.

After that openBalena issue is resolved, the balena CLI can then be updated to use Node SDK v15.30.0, which should then resolve this issue.

This issue is not yet resolved, just an update: With recent versions of the CLI (I think starting with v11.42.0), the error message on openBalena is: "Cannot GET /user/v1/refresh-token" instead of: "Cannot GET /whoami"

This issue will be resolved when balena-io/open-balena-api#575 is resolved and a new version of openBalena including the new endpoint is released.

@pdcastro heads-up that the /user/v1/refresh-token endpoints are now available in open-balena-api v0.181.0.
