How to abort retry before hitting the retry limit?

[KyleRicardo]

Hi community,

I'm using beforeRetry hook to do the refresh token logic, and if the refreshToken is expired, I'll receive an error, so I should not try another time and navigate the user to the login page. But even if I return the ky.stop, the retry seems not to stop until hit the limit.

What should I do to prevent from keep retrying? Thanks in advance!

We have a test to prove that ky.stop works.

ky/test/hooks.ts

Lines 502 to 532 in 3cf5064

	test('beforeRetry hook can cancel retries by returning `stop`', async t => {
	let requestCount = 0;
	const server = await createHttpTestServer();
	server.get('/', async (request, response) => {
	requestCount++;
	if (requestCount > 2) {
	response.end(request.headers['unicorn']);
	} else {
	response.sendStatus(408);
	}
	});
	await ky.get(server.url, {
	hooks: {
	beforeRetry: [
	({error, retryCount}) => {
	t.truthy(error);
	t.is(retryCount, 1);
	return ky.stop;
	},
	],
	},
	});
	t.is(requestCount, 1);
	await server.close();
	});

It would be helpful to see a reproducible example of what is not working.

Are you sure you are returning the symbol?
