r/flask

I've already have a working app; Flask-Login is used for email authentication; Google Auth is added for Gmail authentication; both work perfectly.

Now, I'm trying to add a GitHub authentication and it seems to me I'm stuck forever. Whatever I do i hit the same problem: GitHub requires the redirection what causes losing cookies and as result; when the access token is expired, it never calls this code

u/jwt.expired_token_loader
def expired_token_callback(jwt_header, jwt_payload):
    request.data
    return default_expired_token_callback(jwt_header, jwt_payload)

My JS interceptor can't correctly handle the issue and doesn't call the corresponding code to refresh it.

Tried to use AI but the same result - just hit a wall. Google stupidly can't find any examples because it treats my query wrong (it thinks I'm looking for a code on GitHub completely ignoring that I need GitHub authentication example).

Please help!

UPDATE

Finally, found the issue. It turned out that I returned wrong url. Instead of creating a response with all the cookies, I returned the bare redirect - this is why the expored_token_loader was never hit, now I return this

def login_create_tokens_redirect(user_id, redirect_url):
    access_token = create_access_token(identity = user_id)
    refresh_token = create_refresh_token(identity = user_id)


    login_response = redirect(redirect_url)
    
    set_access_cookies(login_response, access_token)
    set_refresh_cookies(login_response, refresh_token)
    return login_response

Would love feedback & thanks a lot for supporting!!!

I think reddit has smtg against Render. It wont let me post it. Here's a QR:
