Implement command for fresh Authorization process when refresh token expires #448

Closed rorycoconnor closed 1 year ago

rorycoconnor commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

While many Box customers are using the CLI daily or weekly, some only use it when there are pressing needs every few months or so. Due to this gap in usage, the refresh token stored with the CLI OAuth2.0 solution may expire. The process for generating new tokens is not straightforward, requiring the user to overwrite their working CLI Environment or creating a new one.

Describe the solution you'd like

A command that will use an existing environment with the stored ClientID/Client Secret to automatically bring up the "Grant Access to Box" page in the user's browser. Something like box configure:environments:refresh environment=[environment_name].

Describe alternatives you've considered

Another option is a prompt when the user receives the "Refresh Token Expired" error to begin the re-auth process.
