Proposed Changes
This PR addresses the issue of invalid authentication states in Studio. Currently, the CLI uses the access token without first checking if it's still valid or has been revoked. To fix this, the PR adds a step to validate the access token by calling the
/meendpoint before starting any CLI process.Testing Instructions
Check out this branch.
Start the app:
Log in to your WordPress.com account.
Build the CLI:
Run the following command to create or list preview sites:
node dist/cli/main.js preview list --path ~/Studio/[SITE_NAME]Confirm that it lists existing preview sites. If none exist, create one.
Open your
appdata-v1.jsonfile, located at: "/Users/[YOUR_USER]/Library/Application Support/Studio/appdata-v1.json"Manually modify the
authToken.accessTokenvalue to an invalid token.Run the same CLI command again:
node dist/cli/main.js preview list --path ~/Studio/[SITE_NAME]The CLI should now return an authentication required message.
