Howdy, I'm trying to verify our `refreshTokens { ...

[Seri]

Howdy,

I'm trying to verify our refreshTokens { ... } block but I'm having trouble triggering expired tokens since our server has a very long expiration time. Is there any way to intercept calls to simulate a server's 401 response in a way that triggers refreshTokens?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Can you describe how you are testing the refreshTokens block at the moment?

[Seri]

I'm waiting 1hr+ for the server to respond with a 401 due to token expiration, then getting a single shot at running the refreshTokens block

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Can you try using the testApplication to control the server's behavior in returning the 401 status code at the right time?

[Seri]

I don't understand how testApplication would help. I'm trying to test my ktor client's behavior against a non-ktor server.

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Then you can try using the MockEngine to mock the server's behavior.

[Seri]

Is there any way to implement MockEngine for only certain calls? The server's whole behavior is too complicated to mock just for this case

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Unfortunately, the MockEngine can do only mocked calls.

Thanks for the help here, nonetheless. I ended up getting my issue fixed by queueing up multiple phones and emulators for expiration so I could get more shots at testing the issue.
