Refresh Token Simulate
Hi, I am trying to test handling refresh tokens, but my machine never seems to get the expired token error but clients are.
Is there a way to force the dropbox token to expire or a test server that will let me manually expire tokens, etc for testing?
There isn't a way to force a short-lived access token to expire ahead of schedule, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. So, to test the actual 'expired_access_token' error for any particular short-lived access token, you would need to wait until it expires. (And for reference, you can identify short-lived access tokens by the "sl." prefix. If it does not start with "sl.", it is not a short-lived access token.)
In any case, I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox API if something isn't working as expected, but I'll need some more information. If so, please share:
- the name and version number of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any
- the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
- the full text of any error or unexpected output
