From a98640a48e36cdf581d806eb2b00467b76a519a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liam Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2025 23:53:12 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(realtime): preserve custom JWT tokens across channel resubscribe Fixes #1904 When using setAuth(customToken) with private channels, custom JWTs are now preserved across removeChannel() and resubscribe operations. Previously, the token would be overwritten with session token or anon key. Root cause: setAuth() calls after connection and successful join were invoking the accessToken callback without checking if a custom token was manually set, causing SupabaseClient's _getAccessToken to return the wrong token. Solution: Track manually-set tokens with _manuallySetToken flag. Only invoke the accessToken callback when the token wasn't explicitly provided via setAuth(token). Changes: - Add _manuallySetToken flag to RealtimeClient - Update _performAuth() to track token source (manual vs callback) - Modify _setAuthSafely() to check flag before invoking callback - Update join callback in RealtimeChannel to check flag - Add error handling for accessToken callback failures - Add comprehensive regression tests (4 new tests) - Update existing tests for async subscribe Testing: - All 364 tests passing, zero regressions - Verified in React Native/Expo environment - Both setAuth(token) and accessToken callback patterns work - Workaround (accessToken callback) is now obsolete but remains supported Breaking changes: None --- .../core/realtime-js/src/RealtimeChannel.ts | 7 +- .../core/realtime-js/src/RealtimeClient.ts | 52 ++++- .../test/RealtimeChannel.lifecycle.test.ts | 10 +- .../RealtimeClient.auth.resubscribe.test.ts | 190 ++++++++++++++++++ .../test/RealtimeClient.auth.test.ts | 10 +- .../test/RealtimeClient.channels.test.ts | 11 +- 6 files changed, 260 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) create mode 100644 packages/core/realtime-js/test/RealtimeClient.auth.resubscribe.test.ts diff --git a/packages/core/realtime-js/src/RealtimeChannel.ts b/packages/core/realtime-js/src/RealtimeChannel.ts index 4bf49e686..1e48eacd4 100644 --- a/packages/core/realtime-js/src/RealtimeChannel.ts +++ b/packages/core/realtime-js/src/RealtimeChannel.ts @@ -308,7 +308,10 @@ export default class RealtimeChannel { this.joinPush .receive('ok', async ({ postgres_changes }: PostgresChangesFilters) => { - this.socket.setAuth() + // Only refresh auth if using callback-based tokens + if (!this.socket._isManualToken()) { + this.socket.setAuth() + } if (postgres_changes === undefined) { callback?.(REALTIME_SUBSCRIBE_STATES.SUBSCRIBED) return @@ -531,7 +534,7 @@ export default class RealtimeChannel { 'channel', `resubscribe to ${this.topic} due to change in presence callbacks on joined channel` ) - this.unsubscribe().then(() => this.subscribe()) + this.unsubscribe().then(async () => await this.subscribe()) } return this._on(type, filter, callback) } diff --git a/packages/core/realtime-js/src/RealtimeClient.ts b/packages/core/realtime-js/src/RealtimeClient.ts index 19db54fa6..91880472b 100755 --- a/packages/core/realtime-js/src/RealtimeClient.ts +++ b/packages/core/realtime-js/src/RealtimeClient.ts @@ -102,6 +102,7 @@ const WORKER_SCRIPT = ` export default class RealtimeClient { accessTokenValue: string | null = null apiKey: string | null = null + private _manuallySetToken: boolean = false channels: RealtimeChannel[] = new Array() endPoint: string = '' httpEndpoint: string = '' @@ -416,7 +417,18 @@ export default class RealtimeClient { * * On callback used, it will set the value of the token internal to the client. * + * When a token is explicitly provided, it will be preserved across channel operations + * (including removeChannel and resubscribe).
