Does logout delete all the local user data?

[rickspencer3]

I am using user.logout(). what I think is happening:

1. Session data gets deleted from the Parse server.
2. All of the local user data gets deleted from the shared preferences.

#1 is expected, but #2 is not. Is it possible that logout() could leave the user data in place so that I can easily log the user back in again?

Perhaps I am not understanding what is happening correctly? I am testing on an android emulator.

I'm not 100% certain but I do think that logging a user out would clear the database in all other Parse SDK's? I might need to check that.

Ok, I think I was wrong. I think logout() only deletes the local data and does affect the server at all.

That's what the implementation implies.

btw, here's the code in the branch in which I working:
https://github.com/rapido-mobile/rapido-flutter/blob/parse-login/lib/src/user_page.dart

So is the SDK correct in logic? Can this be closed? Thanks

I don't know if this is by design or not. What I would expect is that the user is logged out on the server, and not deleted on the client. It looks like it is not logged out on the server and is deleted on the client. Am I understanding it correctly?

[phillwiggins]

What do you mean logged out on the server? Do you mean deleted? The server database data never changes on logout, but the client data is deleted. I'm lost sorry.

Sorry for the confusion. When calling "logout" I would expect:

1. To tell the server to delete the current session token.
2. Delete the session token from the shared preferences on the devices.
3. Leave the user information other than the session token (which was deleted) stored on the device's shared preference so that it is easier to login in again (i.e. autofill at least the user name).

What I think is happening (again, I could be confused) is that logout simply deletes all of the user data from the shared preferences on the device.

So, I think there are 3 states:

1. no user is in shared preference
2. a user in shared preferences (username, password, email, etc...) but is not logged in (there is no session token).
3. a user in shared preferences that is logged in (there is a session token).

Thanks for your patience.

[phillwiggins]

I see. Correct. We do not delete any session tokens on the server at this time. Is that correct logic?

If it were me, I would have ParseUser.logout call the parse logout endpoint
and then delete session token locally as well. I would leave the rest of the user data in place so it is easy to log back into the server again.

[phillwiggins]

I agree with calling the end point to delete tokens but I would also fully delete everything client side too. That would be more logical. I'm not sure I've encountered any apps that keep data stored after logout.

Sounds good. Thanks.

[phillwiggins]

If it's something urgent, do you want to give it a go? I'm pretty tied up at the moment.

I'll give it a go. I may have some questions based on when I tried last night.

This is not correctly resolved, please reopen the issue.

Wow, this went way faster than I hoped. Thanks to @chrbayer for fixing my pull request so fast.
