Command `force:user:create` throws an error but creates the User.

[javierCTL]

Summary

Our CI job needs to create a user that we will later use to run our test suite, but we're getting an error even though the user is successfully created:

ERROR running force:user:create:  Error authenticating with the refresh token due to: expired access/refresh token

Steps To Reproduce:

Repository to reproduce: dreamhouse-lwc

1. Authenticate to a devhub using sfdx force:auth:sfdxurl:store
2. Authenticate to a scratch org using sfdx auth:accesstoken:store
3. Create a user in the scratch org using sfdx force:user:create with a definition file.

Expected result

Successfully create the user without throwing an error.

Actual result

Receiving an error although the user is successfully created in the scratch org.

ERROR running force:user:create:  Error authenticating with the refresh token due to: expired access/refresh token

Thanks for the issue @javierCTL, I am going to attempt to reproduce this. Was this working as expected in previous versions of the CLI?

[javierCTL]

Hey @iowillhoit thank you for answering. I'm afraid I can't tell, this is the first time we've tried this combination of commands.

[iowillhoit]

Ok, I was able to replicate this using auth:accesstoken:store. A few things I noticed:

• It does not seem to matter how you authenticated to the devhub. I am using JWT
• Tested the scratch org auth with different methods
  • No error with JWT
  • No error with auth:device:login (web)
  • No error with auth:sfdxurl:store (web)
  • No error with auth:web:login (web)

I will get a ticket created to look into this. In the meantime (if you are able) you could use an alternative auth method to your scratch org.

Hi @iowillhoit, do you have any news about this issue? I'm afraid I can't see the details for the work item you linked and it's still preventing us from finishing our CI/CD. Thanks!
