- Line 5: Update the Electron OAuth guide’s description of repeated sign-in
requests to state that starting a second OAuth request cancels or replaces the
pending flow instead of failing with the “OAuth flow is already pending” error,
keeping the documentation aligned with the updated transport behavior.

- Line 807: Update the second OAuth invocation in the test to retain its
promise, trigger the matching open-url callback through the existing listener,
and assert that the promise resolves with the expected callback URL.

@wobsoriano (cc @jeremy-clerk), would you mind taking a look when you have a moment? This fixes Electron OAuth staying blocked for 3 minutes after a user abandons the browser tab. T3 Code currently ships the same fix as a patch (pingdotgg/t3code#22903), so landing it upstream would let them drop it. The workflows need approval to run since this is from a fork. Thanks! |
On my list for today! |

Thanks again! Closing in favor of #10337. Added you as co-author and kept original commits. |
You're welcome! Happy to help! |

Description
In
@clerk/electron, the main process keeps one pending OAuth flow and waits up to 3 minutes for its deep-link callback. If a user abandons the system browser tab (closes it, or changes their mind), nothing can tell the app. Every new OAuth attempt during that window fails withClerk: an OAuth flow is already pending., so the user cannot sign in or sign up at all until the timeout expires. This happened in production in T3 Code: a user started Google sign-up, closed the browser tab, closed and reopened the sign-in modal, and every social button then did nothing.Changes in
packages/electron/src/main/oauth-transport.ts:Clerk: OAuth flow was replaced by a new one.instead of the new request being refused. The callback timeout and deep-link handling are unchanged, and the callback resolves the newest flow.shell.openExternalfor A was still pending, A's later failure would reject B and clear its timeout.Known limitation: the callback still matches on scheme, host and path only, so it cannot be tied to the attempt that started it. Tracked in #10335.
To verify: start an OAuth sign-in in an Electron app, close the browser tab without finishing, close and reopen the sign-in modal, then pick a provider again. Before this change nothing happens and the main process logs
an OAuth flow is already pending. After it, a new browser flow starts.Checklist
