Infinite browser windows

[maria-VL]

Hello!
I've tried the minimal example and when running the app it loops and opens up infinite browser windows.
Can anyone reproduce this behavior?

I am facing the same issue. Did not have this issue with older version of auth0, but after updating to auth0_0.2.3 now having this issue always.

@maria-VL were you able to solve this?

I've collected similar auth0 issues posted online

[maria-VL]

Hi @magnus-sigurdsson I haven't been able to solve it. One thing I'll say is that I tested it in another machine and couldn't reproduce the issue.

[cwilligv]

Hi all, I'm facing the same issue here, and like @maria-VL, I'm not getting this issue on another machine. The main difference between the two scenario is that the one that is not working is a shiny dashboard (bs4dash) and the other (that works) is just a regular fluidPage dashboard.
Another thing I noticed on the one that doesn't work (infinite IE window browsers) is that if I use my user in the parameter AUTH0_USER then I don't get all the infinite browser windows, however, the url doesn't load properly, it cuts everything before the @ and keep the gmail.com part of my user.

any ideas anyone?

[cwilligv]

I have gone back to auth0 version 0.2.1 and the infinite loop stopped, not happening on my local dev. Will test now the rest of the app and then will dockerise it and put it on the cloud. I'll come back once I finish this.

[cwilligv]

Another update from me about this issue. I thought going back to 0.2.1 version had fixed it but after I closed RStudio and came back to work again on my project it started to happen again SO I tried changing the way I run the app and switched from "Run in Windows" to "Run External" which to my surprise it eliminated the infinite loop by opening the app directly on my browser. Again, I'm only sharing what has worked for me in case it works for others out there in the future.
Cheers.

[daattali]

I just ran into this problem too, and it does seem (as @cwilligv points out) that using "Run External" fixed it.

The README does have a section warning of limitations within RStudio, perhaps this issue should be documented there.

[lucas-alcantara]

Same as @daattali. I am using 0.2.3 and I don't get this problem when using "Run External".
