AuthProvider does not trigger check method after changing route (resource)

If I am inactive on a page for a while and after that change resource (page), AuthProvider does not trigger check method after changing route (resource), so I get unauthenticated error. Why?

Hi @chachi. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- It seems like you're experiencing an issue where the check method of the authProvider is not being triggered when you change routes after a period of inactivity. This could be related to how the check method is implemented or how the authentication state is managed in your application. Here are a few things to consider based on the knowledge sources: 1. Ensure Proper Implementation of the check Method: The check method should be implemented to return a CheckResponse object. This method is responsible for verifying if the user is authenticated whenever a route that requires authentication is accessed. Make sure your check method is correctly implemented as shown in the documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/authentication/auth-provider/#check).

   const authProvider = {  
       check: async () => {  
           const user = localStorage.getItem("auth");  
   
           if (user) {  
               return {  
                   authenticated: true,  
               };  
           }  
   
           return {  
               authenticated: false,  
               redirectTo: "/login",  
               logout: true,  
               error: {  
                   message: "Check failed",  
                   name: "User not found",  
               }  
           };  
       },  
   };

   const authProvider = {  
       check: async () => {  
           const user = localStorage.getItem("auth");  
   
           if (user) {  
               return {  
                   authenticated: true,  
               };  
           }  
   
           return {  
               authenticated: false,  
               redirectTo: "/login",  
               logout: true,  
               error: {  
                   message: "Check failed",  
                   name: "User not found",  
               }  
           };  
       },  
   };

2. Handling Inactivity: If the issue arises after a period of inactivity, it might be related to session expiration or token invalidation. Ensure that your check method is capable of handling such scenarios by checking the validity of the session or token. 3. Use of Authenticated Component: If you are using the <Authenticated> component, ensure that it is correctly set up to handle redirections and authentication checks. The component should be configured to call the check method appropriately when routes change. 4. Debugging: You might want to add some logging inside your check method to verify if it is being called as expected when you change routes. This can help identify if the method is not being triggered or if there is an issue within the method itself. If these suggestions do not resolve the issue, you might want to review the migration guide (https://refine.dev/docs/migration-guide/auth-provider/#check) to ensure that your implementation aligns with the latest version of refine. If you need further assistance, consider providing more details about your authProvider implementation and how routes are configured in your application. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
