[BUG] case of automatic token refresh failure

[itcarroll]

Is this issue already tracked somewhere, or is this a new report?

• I've reviewed existing issues and couldn't find a duplicate for this problem.

Current Behavior

My EDL token is not getting refreshed.

import earthaccess
auth = earthaccess.login()
earthaccess.search_datasets(instrument="oci")

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

RuntimeError: {"errors":["Token [Bearer eyJXXXX_0FQ] has expired. Note the token value has been partially redacted."]}

Expected Behavior

My EDL token is expired, and I was expecting earthaccess to generate a new token for me (because #764 was purportedly fixed).

Steps To Reproduce

Wait until your EDL token expires ... then try the above.

Environment

- OS: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
- Python: 3.10.14
- earthaccess installed from git commit 9784e4cee01a9d8d7514faea11cd3b80a12ae40f

Additional Context

No response

This does seem strange, particularly since I believe that about a month and a half ago, I had confirmed that this automatically created a new token for me, as my EDL token had also expired at that point.

Have you created a new token yet? If not, I have something I'd like you to do to help us debug this.

[itcarroll]

Alas, I had to carry on, and created a new token. I can try what you'd like me to do on ... 12/25/2024. Or maybe someone else will experience this sooner and can try, so do tell.

No worries. Mine expires on 11/11, so I'll set a reminder for myself to come back to this on 11/12, just to be sure it is expired.

I just experienced this same error and behavior. My one EDL token in EarthData Login was expired, I generated a new one and removed the old one, but I continued to receive the error for a few more hours at least. I didn't try the below code that was recommended to me from #484 to automatically generate the token from python because everything started working by the end of the day before I could try it, but will next time if needed:

auth = earthaccess.login()
auth.refresh_tokens()
