User Migration set as PHP constant causes token to not be generated

[toddheslin]

Hey @joshcanhelp this is just a note to either consider a fix or an update to the docs. The migration_ws variable, when set as a ENV such as:

define( 'AUTH0_ENV_MIGRATION_WS',  true );

Will mean that when you load the plugin in a new environment, it will not generate a webservice token. The only way to do it is:

1. Disable this constant
2. Switch the option on manually
3. Get the token
4. Set both variables back in the configuration, such as

define( 'AUTH0_ENV_MIGRATION_WS',  true );
define( 'AUTH0_ENV_MIGRATION_TOKEN',  'the-generated-token' );

This was a few hours messing around but I hope it helps someone who comes across the same situation. Not sure if it's worth a code update or just a note in the docs.

@toddheslin - Thanks for the note here. As of the current version (3.9.0, released 1/11), you can save the settings page with AUTH0_ENV_MIGRATION_WS set to true and one will generate. You can also generate your own and use that in the AUTH0_ENV_MIGRATION_TOKEN constant. The problem is that the token is generated when the settings are saved, not when the page is loaded.

That said, I think that the scenario you're describing here, endpoints on but no token, is something the setting UI could do a better job with (even just a prompt to save the page) so I'll add a task for that on our end for the next release.

Thanks Josh. I implemented this the day before the release came out haha
