Firebase/React: currentUser is null after Sign In with Google redirect and reload
I'm using the Google's pre-build firebaseui to do authentication in create-react-app.
I have the onAuthStateChanged function set up in componentDidMount.
componentDidMount() {
firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged((user) => {
console.log('Auth state changed');
console.log('user: ',user);
if (user) {
this.setState({user: user});
} else {
this.setState({user: null});
}
});
}
I use this.state.user in render to show different UI elements depending on whether or not they're logged in. I also log the currentUser:
render() {
console.log('render currentUser: ',firebase.auth().currentUser);
...
Here's what happens when I try to log in with firebaseui:
1) Click the Log In button which displays FirebaseUI.
2) Select Sign In with Google
3) The page is redirected to a Google auth page, then redirects back to my app
4) After the reload I see these console logs:
render currentUser: null
Auth state changed
user: null
render currentUser: null
5) Click the Log In button again
6) FirebaseUI shows a blank window with a loading indicator at the top, then closes. There is no redirect.
7) Console output:
render currentUser: null
Auth state change
user: {firebase user object...}
render currentUser: {firebase user object...}
It's like Firebase has the auth information stored somewhere, but it isn't being pulled up when the app loads. How can I get Firebase to recognize the user is logged in when the page first reloads?
