React SPA Page Refresh Triggers Failed Silent Auth On Reload

I have been searching through the community posts and have been unable to find a solution to my problem.

During my SPA development in React, I start my development server with yarn start and upon initial page load I am able to log into the application fine. However, when I go and make a modification to the codebase, the yarn server causes the page to reload and this reload takes generally > 1 minute or even more.

I found a page with a somewhat similar topic, Silent Authentication: ‘does not have a registered origin’, and I followed the directions on the page, ensuring that my Callback URL and Allowed Web Origins are http://localhost:3000/, and http://localhost:3000, respectively. However, this does not seem to fix the issue on page reload.

I additionally found this page, Login lost every time browser is reloaded. This page mentions taking advantage of getTokenSilently() however from my understanding, as long as I am using the recent react_auth_spa.js file, this functionality should be handled for me, so I guess I am not understanding it correctly.

I have instantiated the AuthProvider exactly how the React tutorial mentions:

<Auth0Provider
        domain={config.domain}
        client_id={config.clientId}
        redirect_uri={window.location.origin}
        onRedirectCallback={onRedirectCallback}
        responseType={'id_token token'}
    >
      <App />
</Auth0Provider>

Yet, for whatever reason, again on page load done either manually or with code update the page takes forever to reload, citing the issue in the title. Can anyone please assist?

To anyone who ends up on this page by chance, please double check your Client ID. For whatever reason, when I was following the tutorial, the client ID provided in the tutorial was different than my actual application. I thought that the tutorial pulled in the client ID of an existing application but I could be totally wrong. Regardless, using a local user and updating my client ID in my auth_config.json file fixed the refresh issue.

Thanks a lot for sharing that with the rest of community!
