amplify-js: Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser() Not Returning or Throwing a Catchable Error

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? bug

What is the current behavior? Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser() does not resolve nor does it throw a catchable error.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem. Your bug will get fixed much faster if we can run your code and it doesn’t have dependencies other than AWS Amplify.

In a React Native application built using Expo I have the following code (debugger statements inserted to confirm execution location).

debugger; Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser() .then(res => { debugger; console.log(‘current user info: \n’, res); }) .catch(err => { debugger; console.log(err); });

Only the first debugger statement which is prior to execution is reached. Additionally, nothing is logged to the console.

This code is called after a successfully using Auth.signIn() which returns the following CognitoUser object:

What is the expected behavior? If there is an error, I expect to receive something that I can catch

Which versions of Amplify, and which browser / OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions?

“aws-amplify”: “^0.4.4”, “aws-amplify-react-native”: “^0.2.15”, “expo”: “^27.0.0”,

You can turn on the debug mode to provide more info for us by setting window.LOG_LEVEL = 'DEBUG'; in your app.
