axios interceptor blocking api calls in redux saga - react-native

Question

I have a react native project in which I'm calling some API's using redux-saga mechanism. Now when I added response interceptor for axios my saga api's are not working anymore. Does any knows how I can fix this?
here is the code for my axios instance class and response interceptor
const getLoggedInUser = async () => {
const savedUser = JSON.parse(
await getDataFromAsyncStorage(APP_CONSTANTS.SAVED_USER)
)
if (savedUser?.user_id != null) {
return savedUser
}
return null
}
const baseapi = axios.create({
baseURL: APP_CONSTANTS.BASE_URL,
headers: {},
})
baseapi.interceptors.request.use(
async (config) => {
const token = await getLoggedInUser()
const userId = token?.user_id
const authToken = token?.token
if (token) {
baseapi.defaults.headers.common['userId'] = token
baseapi.defaults.headers.common['token'] = authToken
}
return config
},
(error) => {
return Promise.reject(error)
}
)
// Response interceptor for API calls
baseapi.interceptors.response.use(
(response) => {
return response
},
async function (error) {
const originalRequest = error.config
if (error.response.status === 403 /* && !originalRequest._retry */) {
return baseapi(originalRequest)
}
return Promise.reject(error)
}
)
This is my saga class code and it fails directly when I add a response interceptor
function* getTopicList(action) {
try {
yield put({type: ACTION_TYPES.START_TOPIC_LIST})
const {payload} = action
const res = yield call(getAllTopicsOfBatch, payload)
if (res?.status == APP_CONSTANTS.SUCCESS_STATUS) {
yield put({
type: ACTION_TYPES.SET_TOPIC_LIST,
payload: {data: res?.data?.topics},
})
} else {
alert('OOPS Something went wrong! Please try again')
yield put({
type: ACTION_TYPES.ERROR_TOPIC_LIST,
payload: 'Something Went Wrong Please Try Again',
})
}
} catch (error) {
console.log('RESPONES error', error)
alert('OOPS Something went wrong! Please try again')
yield put({
type: ACTION_TYPES.ERROR_TOPIC_LIST,
payload: 'Something Went Wrong Please Try Again',
})
}
}

The code looks mostly fine, the only two things I found that are likely causing problems are:
In the request interceptors you are likely wrongly passing the whole token as userId instead of userId
baseapi.defaults.headers.common['userId'] = token // 'token' should be 'userId'
In the response interceptors error handler, you are not guaranteed to have 'response' property on error.
if (error.response.status === 403) // use error?.response
If neither of these things will fix your problem my guess is you have a problem in your endpoint and so you should examine the response errors you get to guide you.
