Describe the bug

When access or refresh token is expired, no any event is sent to channel 'auth'. Page need to refresh manually to get new access token.

Expected behavior

When ever refresh token or access token expired, Hub should receive an event for 'auth' channel.

Reproduction steps

install the latest versions as mentioned above. Listen to events as following:

Hub.listen('auth', (msg:any) => { console.log('Event : ', msg) });

Used config:

Amplify.configure({
  Auth:{
    Cognito:{
       userPoolId:'<id>',
       userPoolClientId: '<id>',
       loginWith: {
           oauth: {
            domain:'<domain>'
            redirectSignIn: ['<url>'],
            redirectSignOut: ['<url>'],
            scopes: ['openid'],
            responseType: 'token'
           }
        }
      } 
   }
})

Seems there is no counter or task running that checks the expiry time of token and then dispatch the event.

hello @mrSingh007 . Thank you for bringing this up. We currently have a fix for this issue which needs to be released.

Hello @mrSingh007 . The latest release included the fix, you should be able to get the hub event when the refresh_token is expired

[mrSingh007]

I have tested now in 5.3.15 and in version 6.0.12 of 'aws-amplify' and the issue is still there. No any event was dispatched, when token is expired.

@mrSingh007 you want an specific event when access or id token are expired? What is the use case?

Thanks!

[elorzafe]

@mrSingh007 you should be able to see signOut event when the refresh_token is expired. The library emits this event when there is an API call that tries to pull tokens (e.g. fetchAuthSession API). The library cannot detect if the refresh_token is expired without doing an operation with Cognito service.

@mrSingh007, did you get a chance to see @elorzafe's comment above? We'd like to know if there's additional context/use cases around this feature that we could work on. Would having just the expiration of the access token emit an event be enough here?
