Nodejs script not ending

Question

using the client.getUser(:id|:login) nodejs example at https://developer.okta.com/okta-sdk-nodejs/jsdocs/, I can successfully get the user details, however he script doesn’t “end” it just hangs after returning the user Information.

const okta = require('@okta/okta-sdk-nodejs');

const client = new okta.Client({
  orgUrl: 'https://dev-1234.oktapreview.com/'
  token: 'xYzabc'    // Obtained from Developer Dashboard
});

client.getUser('[email protected]')
.then(user => {
  console.log(user);
});

Do I need to “end” the connection or the promise or something?

Check the issue here: =)

Issue definitely in the sdk itself, not in the script you are running.

Looks like issue is here https://github.com/okta/okta-sdk-nodejs/blob/master/src/memory-store.js#L22

Next workaround:

const okta = require('@okta/okta-sdk-nodejs');
const MemoryStore = require('@okta/okta-sdk-nodejs/src/memory-store');

const client = new okta.Client({
  cacheStore: new MemoryStore({
    expirationPoll:null
  }),
  orgUrl: 'https://dev-160519.oktapreview.com',
  token: '00s8yW7KiYpCOFRc8USWZWS4FgvQPSrnRli9QFFzZG',    // Obtained from Developer Dashboard,
});

client.getUser('[email protected]')
.then(user => {
  console.log(user);
}).catch(console.error);

works as expected
