Problems with refresh OAuth2 token

This is a slightly updated version of the script that can be put into the Automation for the auth profile and will only renew when expired:

// Import the required classes
import com.eviware.soapui.impl.rest.actions.oauth.OltuOAuth2ClientFacade;
import com.eviware.soapui.support.editor.inspectors.auth.TokenType;
import com.eviware.soapui.model.support.ModelSupport;

// Set up variables
def project = ModelSupport.getModelItemProject(context.getModelItem());
def stepProfile = context.getCurrentStep().getHttpRequest().getSelectedAuthProfile()
def authProfile = project.getAuthRepository().getEntry(stepProfile);
def oldToken = authProfile.getAccessToken();
def tokenType = TokenType.ACCESS;

// Create a facade object
def oAuthFacade = new OltuOAuth2ClientFacade(tokenType);

// Request an access token in headless mode
oAuthFacade.requestAccessToken(authProfile, true, true);

// Wait until the access token gets updated
for(int i = 0; i<=3000; i++){
	if(oldToken != authProfile.getAccessToken()){
		break
	}
	sleep(1)
}

I would suggest this is a work-around for a ReadyAPI bug as we should be able to set this type of token to renew automatically.

my ex-colleague  wrote following script as a Event : SubmitListenerBeforeSubmit:

It is not working completely as it should (it requests a new token with every request, but so far I had no problems with it)

// Import the required classes
import com.eviware.soapui.impl.rest.actions.oauth.OltuOAuth2ClientFacade
import com.eviware.soapui.support.editor.inspectors.auth.TokenType
import com.eviware.soapui.model.support.ModelSupport

def authProfileName = "INT_Profile_Name"

if(!submit.getRequest().getAuthType().asBoolean()){
    return // stop if the auth type is null, for example jdbc requests
}else if(submit.getRequest().getActiveAuthProfile() == null){
    return // stop if the auth profile is null
}else if(authProfileName == submit.getRequest().getActiveAuthProfile().getName()){

    // Set up variables
    def project = ModelSupport.getModelItemProject(context.getModelItem())
    def authProfile = project.getAuthRepository().getEntry(authProfileName)
    def oldToken = authProfile.getAccessToken()
    def tokenType = TokenType.ACCESS

    // Create a facade object
    def oAuthFacade = new OltuOAuth2ClientFacade(tokenType)

    // Request an access token in headless mode
    oAuthFacade.requestAccessToken(authProfile, true, true)

    // Wait until the access token gets updated
    //while(oldToken == authProfile.getAccessToken()) {}

    //The sleep method can be used instead of a while loop
    //sleep(3000)

    for(int i = 0; i<=3000; i++){
        if(oldToken != authProfile.getAccessToken()){
            break
        }
        sleep(1)
    }

    // Post the info to the log
    log.info("Set new token: " + authProfile.getAccessToken())
}

You may create a new post in Open Source forum with the details.

Does the authentication server provides refresh token when you get the token? If not, then ReadyAPI may not automatically refresh it when the token expires.

Was it working earlier and started facing this now? what changes?

There must be separate API to get the token where you can see the response payload and see what data does it contain.

Or you can check the swagger page which also allows to get the token or authenticate.

What is the token expiratation time? (to know how frequently token to be generated)

Oh cool. I will try that. Thank you 🙂 SiKing 

Hi,

I had same issue with my REST API testing, but found an easy solution , without any additional script. Basically, a "javascript" part has to be added to the project file(xml ). It can be simply added by some dummy steps(pic1), adding 3rd page in automation, click run, and then you can delete the 3rd page(pic2). I left  all pages blank. On pic3, you can see the part of code added to the xml project file, with these steps. Refresh of token then works automatically anytime after it expires, when you execute API request. I use the free SoapUI version.
