05/07/2023, 3:04 PMHow to refresh session payload in the client without unlogging the user ? Tried attemptRefreshingSession() but still got the same payload.
I've updated the session in the backend using the method 2 (https://supertokens.com/docs/thirdpartyemailpassword/common-customizations/sessions/update-session-data)

05/07/2023, 3:06 PMWhen you say refresh the payload, what exactly do you mean?

05/07/2023, 3:11 PMHello, I mean using Session.getAccessTokenPayloadSecurely()
r
rp_st
05/07/2023, 3:12 PMAh okay. Use the function session.mergeIntoAccessTokenPayload to update the payload

05/07/2023, 3:21 PMDid you get back an updated front-token and sAccessToken in the response headers?

05/07/2023, 3:23 PMThis is what I call in the frontend after making my request.

05/07/2023, 3:23 PMAnd this is what I call in the backend
splinteer
05/07/2023, 3:23 PMI'm using method 2 so I don't think it's updating the headers

05/07/2023, 3:35 PMRight. So in this case it should reflect the changes after a session refresh.
rp_st
05/07/2023, 3:35 PMIf that’s not happening, I’m going to need more info - what was the access token before and after refresh?
rp_st
05/07/2023, 3:35 PMAnd what is the payload supposed to look like after the refresh?

splinteer
05/07/2023, 3:59 PMThe payload should have a credentials property of this type:
{
id: string;
supertokens_id: string;
email: string;
firstname: string;
lastname: string;
profile_picture: null;
shop_name?: string;
shop_url?: string;
}
I'm creating a shop so the 2 last properties should be defined

05/07/2023, 4:02 PMWell, it just started to work I don't know why the session was not refreshing
splinteer
05/07/2023, 4:02 PMMaybe cache?
