headers are not getting updated upon retry

[santosh81066]

when I am trying to retry a request headers are not getting updated following is my interceptor

class AuthorizationInterceptor extends InterceptorContract {
  @override
  Future<BaseRequest> interceptRequest({required BaseRequest request}) async {
    final prefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();

    final extractData =
        json.decode(prefs.getString('userData')!) as Map<String, dynamic>;
    request.headers.clear();
    request.headers['Authorization'] = await extractData['accessToken'];
    print(
        'this is from AuthorizationInterceptor: ${extractData['accessToken']}');
    // TODO: implement interceptRequest

    return request;
  }



}

If you are using prereleases of v2.0.0+beta.1 or above, then the API has changed a bit. Check out the guides for 2.0.0 if you want to know how much has changed.

In any case, here's an example of how to set headers with the new API:

class WeatherApiInterceptor extends InterceptorContract {
  @override
  Future<BaseRequest> interceptRequest({required BaseRequest request}) async {
    final cache = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();

    final Map<String, String>? headers = Map.from(request.headers);
    headers?[HttpHeaders.contentTypeHeader] = "application/json";

    return request.copyWith(
      url: request.url.addParameters({
        'appid': cache.getString(kOWApiToken) ?? '',
        'units': 'metric',
      }),
      headers: headers,
    );
  }

  @override
  Future<BaseResponse> interceptResponse(
          {required BaseResponse response}) async =>
      response;
}

Also, thank you for opening an issue, I appreciate you reaching out! 😄

hello sir thx for quick reply as you sujested I had changed my interceptor but the result is same you can see in the image that the access token which I am printing and accesstoken which I am refreshing using refresh token is same but headers not updating

class AuthorizationInterceptor extends InterceptorContract {
  @override
  Future<BaseRequest> interceptRequest({required BaseRequest request}) async {
    final prefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();

    final extractData =
        json.decode(prefs.getString('userData')!) as Map<String, dynamic>;

    final Map<String, String> headers = Map.from(request.headers);
    headers['Authorization'] = await extractData['accessToken'];
    print(
        'this is from AuthorizationInterceptor: ${extractData['accessToken']}');
    // TODO: implement interceptRequest

    return request.copyWith(
      headers: headers,
    );
  }

Taking a closer look to your retry policy (the one sent via email) I've noticed one thing: you are not returning true when you are refreshing your token.

class ExpiredTokenRetryPolicy extends RetryPolicy {
  BuildContext context;
  ExpiredTokenRetryPolicy(this.context);
  @override

  int get maxRetryAttempts => 2;

  @override
  Future<bool> shouldAttemptRetryOnResponse(BaseResponse response) async {
    if (response.statusCode == 401) {
      print('retry token started');
  

      await Provider.of<Auth>(context, listen: false).restoreAccessToken();
    }
    return false;
  }
}

This is needed because otherwise the RetryPolicy will not know when to perform retries on response, and thus the requests will still use the 'old' token. Here's the example ExpiredTokenRetryPolicy from the WeatherApp provided with the library:

class ExpiredTokenRetryPolicy extends RetryPolicy {
  @override
  int get maxRetryAttempts => 2;

  @override
  Future<bool> shouldAttemptRetryOnException(
    Exception reason,
    BaseRequest request,
  ) async {
    log(reason.toString());

    return false;
  }

  @override
  Future<bool> shouldAttemptRetryOnResponse(BaseResponse response) async {
    if (response.statusCode == 401) {
      log('Retrying request...');
      final cache = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();

      cache.setString(kOWApiToken, kOpenWeatherApiKey);

      // Notice how in here the policy returns true so that the library can now
      // when to perform a retry. In this case it is when the response's status
      // code is 401 Unauthorized.
      return true;
    }

    return false;
  }
}

hello sir as you said I had kept return true but I am facing exception if I get 401 response

This seems like a bug in the beta version. I think it was mentioned in an issue before. Will take a look and get back to you 👀

[CodingAleCR]

By any chance are you using a MultipartRequest to upload a file (e.g. upload profile picture to a server)?

[santosh81066]

yeah

thank you waiting for update

[santosh81066]

hello sir may I know approximate next release date

[CodingAleCR]

Hey, yes, hum in terms of ETA I can't give you one, but I can confirm at the moment that it is a bug. I'm working to fix this but it might need a big refactor.

[santosh81066]

ok thank you
