- Around line 198-211: The _handleError method currently calls the user-provided
callback _onError and then operation.completeError, but if _onError throws the
call to operation.completeError will be skipped; wrap the _onError invocation in
a try/catch (catching Exception/Throwable) so any exceptions from _onError are
swallowed or logged, then always call operation.completeError(error, stack) in a
finally (or after the catch) to guarantee the RefreshOperation is completed;
make this change inside the _handleError function to protect the refresh
futures.

NOT have been called because _isDisposed check" with a shorter phrase under 80
characters (for example "// Success callback should NOT be called after
dispose") in the test body where successCalled and callbackCompleter are used so
the line length rule is satisfied without changing behavior of the test or the
use of TokenRefreshHandler/_isDisposed logic.

1341-1355: Skip error handling after disposal to avoid touching closed streams.
If a refresh fails afterdispose(), this can still emit on closed subjects or broadcast channels. Consider a guard similar to_handleRefreshSuccess.💡 Suggested guard
void _handleRefreshError( AuthException error, StackTrace stack, bool isRetryable, ) { + if (_tokenRefreshHandler.isDisposed) { + _log.fine('Skipping refresh error handling: client is disposed'); + return; + } if (!isRetryable) { // Non-retryable error: sign out and notify _removeSession(); notifyAllSubscribers(AuthChangeEvent.signedOut); } // Always notify exception (this logs it) notifyException(error, stack); }

- Around line 230-285: The dequeued operation started in _processNextQueued
(variable nextOperation) can be in-flight when dispose() runs and thus won't be
failed; fix by assigning the dequeued completer to the handler's in-flight
tracker (_currentOperation) before calling
_startOperation(nextOperation.refreshToken), and ensure _currentOperation is
cleared when that future completes (both success and error paths), so dispose()
will completeError the in-flight operation; update _processNextQueued to set
_currentOperation = nextOperation and clear it in the then/onError callbacks,
and keep dispose() logic to completeError _currentOperation if non-null.

Pass queued operation to _startOperation so it becomes _currentOperation, ensuring dispose() can properly fail in-flight queued operations. Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

.cast<RefreshOperation?>()with a null assertion in the predicate is functional but verbose. A cleaner approach would be:♻️ Suggested simplification

Issues Resolved by This PRThis PR fixes concurrent token refresh race conditions that cause the following issues: Fixes #895 - Custom LocalStorage logs out user instead of refreshing session
Fixes #930 - Invalid Refresh Token: Refresh Token Not Found errors
Partially fixes #928 - AuthRetryableFetchError
Issues NOT Fixed (Require Follow-up)The following issues require a separate PR to add proactive session refresh on app resume:
Root cause: When app resumes from background with expired token, the auto-refresh ticker takes up to 10 seconds to detect expiry. If an API call happens before the first tick, the expired token is used. Required fix: Add proactive session check in See detailed analysis in: #1158 (comment) cc: @grdsdev |

Pull request overview
Refactors GoTrue auth token refresh synchronization into a dedicated TokenRefreshHandler to better coordinate concurrent refresh requests, improve disposal behavior, and expand unit test coverage (addresses refresh race-condition issues noted in #895/#930 and improves error handling for #928).
Changes:
- Introduces
TokenRefreshHandler(dedupe same-token refreshes, queue different-token refreshes) and wires it intoGoTrueClient. - Adds
AuthClientDisposedExceptionplus unit tests for disposed-state behavior. - Applies broad formatting-only updates in
storage_clientandrealtime_client(tests + some library files).

If dispose() is called while _refreshCallback is in-flight, the first caller awaiting _startOperation can still receive a successful AuthResponse (because disposal only completes the internal completer). That contradicts the intended “pending operations complete with errors on dispose” semantics and can leak a usable response after the client is disposed. Consider checking _isDisposed immediately after awaiting _refreshCallback and, if disposed, completing (if needed) and throwing AuthClientDisposedException without invoking success/error callbacks.
| // If the client was disposed while the refresh callback was in-flight, | |
| // ensure pending callers observe a disposal error rather than a success. | |
| if (_isDisposed) { | |
| final disposedError = AuthClientDisposedException(); | |
| if (!operation.isCompleted) { | |
| operation.completeError(disposedError); | |
| } | |
| throw disposedError; | |
| } |
| // Continue processing to clear remaining queued operations | ||
| _processNextQueued(); |

_processNextQueued drains the queue via recursion when _isDisposed is true. With a large _pendingOperations list this can cause deep recursion/stack overflow. Consider rewriting this branch to iteratively drain the queue (e.g., a while loop) and complete each operation with AuthClientDisposedException.
| // Continue processing to clear remaining queued operations | |
| _processNextQueued(); | |
| // Iteratively clear remaining queued operations to avoid deep recursion. | |
| while (_pendingOperations.isNotEmpty) { | |
| final queuedOperation = _pendingOperations.removeAt(0); | |
| queuedOperation.completeError( | |
| AuthClientDisposedException(operation: 'queued token refresh'), | |
| ); | |
| } |
| // Check if we already have a queued operation for this token | ||

The queued-operation lookup uses cast<RefreshOperation?>() plus null assertions and orElse: () => null, which is hard to read and easy to misuse. Since _pendingOperations is already List<RefreshOperation>, consider a simpler lookup (e.g., firstWhere with try/catch or a helper like firstWhereOrNull) to avoid the unnecessary cast and ! usage.

Comment mismatch: this code throws the wrapped AuthUnknownException, not the original non-AuthException error. Consider updating the comment to reflect the actual behavior so the test remains a reliable reference.
| // The original exception is rethrown | |
| expect(caughtError, isA<Exception>()); | |
| // But the error callback receives the wrapped AuthUnknownException | |
| // The non-AuthException error is wrapped and thrown as AuthUnknownException | |

| // And the error callback also receives the wrapped AuthUnknownException |

This PR’s title/description focus on auth token refresh refactoring, but this file includes a sizable set of formatting-only changes in storage client tests. Consider splitting pure formatting changes into a separate PR (or limiting formatting to touched lines) to keep the auth-focused change easier to review and reduce merge noise.
…ken refresh - Guard _handleRefreshError against being called after dispose() closes streams; calling notifyAllSubscribers on a closed BehaviorSubject throws StateError because rxdart always forwards to the underlying controller - Exclude AuthClientDisposedException from the sign-out path in _handleRefreshError; disposal is not an auth failure and should not broadcast a signedOut event to subscribers - Remove unnecessary .cast<RefreshOperation?>() in refresh() by using firstOrNull from package:collection instead - Fix misleading test comment and weak isA<Exception>() assertion for the non-AuthException wrapping test; it now asserts isA<AuthUnknownException>() Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
