react-aad-msal authProvider.getAccessToken() reloads the component indefinitely - reactjs

Question

I have added a axios interceptor within which authProvider.getAccessToken() is called to fetch token and add to header of each request.
Here is my axiosInterceptor.js
import axios from 'axios'
import { authProvider } from '../authProvider'
export const axiosApiIntance = axios.create()
export const axiosInterceptor = axiosApiIntance.interceptors.request.use(async request => {
try {
let token = await authProvider.getAccessToken()
request.headers['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${token.accessToken}`
return request
} catch (err) {
console.log(err)
}
}, error => {
return Promise.reject(error.message)
})
Here is my authProvider.js
import { LoginType, MsalAuthProvider } from 'react-aad-msal'
// The auth provider should be a singleton. Best practice is to only have it ever instantiated once.
// Avoid creating an instance inside the component it will be recreated on each render.
// If two providers are created on the same page it will cause authentication errors.
export const authProvider = new MsalAuthProvider(
{
auth: {
authority: process.env.REACT_APP_AUTHORITY,
clientId: process.env.REACT_APP_CLIENT_ID,
postLogoutRedirectUri: process.env.REACT_APP_URL,
redirectUri: process.env.REACT_APP_URL,
validateAuthority: true,
// After being redirected to the "redirectUri" page, should user
// be redirected back to the Url where their login originated from?
navigateToLoginRequestUrl: false
},
cache: {
cacheLocation: 'sessionStorage',
storeAuthStateInCookie: true
}
},
{
scopes: ['openid', 'profile', 'user.read']
},
{
loginType: LoginType.Redirect,
// When a token is refreshed it will be done by loading a page in an iframe.
// Rather than reloading the same page, we can point to an empty html file which will prevent
// site resources from being loaded twice.
tokenRefreshUri: window.location.origin + '/auth.html'
}
)
authProvider is used in App.js
<AzureAD provider={authProvider} reduxStore={configureStore}>
....
</AzureAD>
axiosInterceptor is also included in App.js.
Please provide suggestion on what could cause the component the reload indifinitely.
I have removed the authProvider.getAccessToken() and verified, it works fine. So the reload is caused due to that.

Answer 1

First, I suggest you to verify the Scope, authority and clientId of your AuthProvider.
I had a similar issue in one project ans I had to add the scope to the getAccessToken() function, even if I never did that in others projects..
See below:
var authenticationParameters = {
scopes: ['openid', 'profile', 'user.read'],
};
axios.interceptors.request.use(function (config): any {
return new Promise(async (resolve: any, reject: any) => {
await authProvider.getAccessToken(authenticationParameters).then((response: any) => {
config.headers["Authorization"] = "Bearer " + response.accessToken;
config.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json";
config.headers.Accept = "application/json";
resolve(config);
})
.catch((error: any) => {
console.log(error.message);
});
});
});
Hope it help ;)
