I has this error when trying to loginRedirect in React app using @azure/msal-react@1.0.0-alpha.6 and @azure/msal-browser@2.11.2. The login data returns correctly but the exception is raised in the console.
Uncaught (in promise) BrowserAuthError: interaction_in_progress: Interaction is currently in progress. Please ensure that this interaction has been completed before calling an interactive API.
import * as msal from "@azure/msal-browser";
const msalConfig = {
auth: {
clientId: '995e81d0-',
authority: 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/3a0cf09b-',
redirectUri: 'http://localhost:3000/callback'
},
cache: {
cacheLocation: "sessionStorage", // This configures where your cache will be stored
storeAuthStateInCookie: false, // Set this to "true" if you are having issues on IE11 or Edge
}
};
const msalInstance = new msal.PublicClientApplication(msalConfig);
try {
msalInstance.handleRedirectPromise()
.then(res=>{
console.log(res)
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
var loginRequest = {
scopes: ["api://58ca819e-/access_as_user"] // optional Array<string>
};
msalInstance.loginRedirect(loginRequest);
} catch (err) {
// handle error
console.log(err)
}
The exception
Uncaught (in promise) BrowserAuthError: interaction_in_progress: Interaction is currently in progress. Please ensure that this interaction has been completed before calling an interactive API.

msalInstance.loginRedirect(loginRequest);
The piece of code above does next:
- Looks into session storage for key msal.[clientId].interaction.status and other temp values required for redirection process. If such key exist and its value equals 'interaction_in_progress' error will be thrown.
- Creates entry in session storage msal.[clientId].interaction.status = interaction.status
- Redirects user to auth-page.
In case of successful login user will be redirected to initial page with your code and go through 1-3 steps and will catch an error;
The piece of code below removes all temp values in session storage and completes auth redirection flow but it is async and never will be completed.
msalInstance.handleRedirectPromise()
.then(res=>{
console.log(res)
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
The solution will be
// Account selection logic is app dependent. Adjust as needed for different use cases.
// Set active acccount on page load
const accounts = msalInstance.getAllAccounts();
if (accounts.length > 0) {
msalInstance.setActiveAccount(accounts[0]);
}
msalInstance.addEventCallback((event) => {
// set active account after redirect
if (event.eventType === EventType.LOGIN_SUCCESS && event.payload.account) {
const account = event.payload.account;
msalInstance.setActiveAccount(account);
}
}, error=>{
console.log('error', error);
});
console.log('get active account', msalInstance.getActiveAccount());
// handle auth redired/do all initial setup for msal
msalInstance.handleRedirectPromise().then(authResult=>{
// Check if user signed in
const account = msalInstance.getActiveAccount();
if(!account){
// redirect anonymous user to login page
msalInstance.loginRedirect();
}
}).catch(err=>{
// TODO: Handle errors
console.log(err);
});
