Overview

I've found when I step away from working on the quiz creation project that if my session has timed out then I just get a blank screen.

The expectation on a permissions error response is that we ship the user to the sign in page with a query param next which is set to the path that the user was trying to access.

Once the user signs in, they're redirected back to where they're trying to go in the first place.

Guidance, Replication

This seems to occur in multiple places in Coach -- I've confirmed it during Lesson creation & Quiz creation.

• On develop branch
• Sign in as an admin/coach, navigate to the Coach > Class > Plan > Quizzes > New Quiz
• Go to your cookies in the devtools and delete the cookies, then quickly refresh the page (this emulates the session timeout situation consistently in my attempts)
• The thing that really makes this a problem is that refreshing again and again results in the same blank page.

Look into this part of the Learn router for inspiration. We may consider adding something similar to the coach app's beforeEach router guard as well -- but note that we'll only really want to check if the user is logged in there.

This solution will not directly handle the 401 -- however, it will properly send the user to the AuthMessage, which they can then click to access the sign in page w/ the proper ?next parameter

Acceptance criteria

• Signing out due to inactivity doesn't result in being stuck on a blank page during Quiz Creation (or any other part of Coach)
