Research direction

Start by reproducing the logout flow described in the Authenticate component, comparing logout after an API call with logout before any API call. Inspect how FirebaseAuth handles remounting and sign-in options after authentication state changes; done means the configured options render in both cases.

Description

I am building an app using the react web UI and I've run into a very strange issue: whenever I logout of my app after I perform some type of API call (in this case, just a simple CRUD operation to the DB or uploading a photo to storage) I return to the sign-in screen however the signInOptions don't render via `<FirebaseAuth ... />.

If I logout without making any API call, the FirebaseAuth component and signInOptions render normally.

In both cases the uiConfig and app.auth are being passed properly to <FirebaseAuth ... />. I have no idea what to make of this.

If it helps, here is my auth screen component:

import * as React from 'react';
import * as firebaseui from 'firebaseui';
import * as firebase from 'firebase/app';
import FirebaseAuth from 'react-firebaseui/FirebaseAuth';
import * as app from '@/app';

class Authenticate extends React.Component<any, any> {
  render() {
    const uiConfig = {
      signInSuccessUrl: '/',
      signInOptions: [
        firebase.auth.EmailAuthProvider.PROVIDER_ID,
        firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider.PROVIDER_ID
      ],
      credentialHelper: firebaseui.auth.CredentialHelper.NONE
    }

    return  <div className="section authenticate">
              <FirebaseAuth uiConfig={uiConfig} firebaseAuth={app.auth}/>
            </div>; 
  }
}

export default Authenticate;
