Description

Hi team,
we are encountering an issue with the /userInfo API with the latest v5.0.1.
When the token is expired the status code 401 is correct but the response is broken and this causes a general NetworkError. This error blocks the process to refresh the token because the 'invalid grant' is not returned from the API body.

Could you please give a check?

Below some examples of the error taken from Reactotron:
Broken /userinfo API response

And the console.log error:

This is the point in your library where the exception is thrown:

Reproduction

1. invoke auth0.auth.userInfo({token}) when the token is expired
2. the API returns a status code 401
3. when the response is parsed it throws a NetworkError and not an 'invalid_token' message

Hi @subhankarmaiti ,
I've tried the fix with v5.2.0 but unfortunately it doesn't work. The /userInfo doesn't propagate correctly the 401 'invalid_token' or 'invalid_grant' error so that we can't refresh the token. We receive an 'invalid_json' error.
On v3 it works.

Could you please check?

Hi @alessioemireni
Related to /userinfo, I found another issue, due to which it was throwing invalid_json. I am reopening it and looking into it on priority.
