ory auth logout checks that the session is valid before signing out. If the stored access token has expired and can't be refreshed, or there is no session at all, it clears the stored token, opens a browser login, and then revokes the token from that new login. The token that was actually stored is never revoked on the server, and with --quiet the command fails with "please authenticate the CLI or remove the --quiet flag".

SignOut now reads the config file directly, revokes whatever token is stored, and clears the local config. Revoking an expired or already revoked token is fine: RFC 7009 servers answer 200. If revocation fails, the CLI prints a warning and still signs out locally.

Separately, tokens obtained without the offline_access scope have no refresh token, so the revocation request sent an empty token and the access token stayed valid. The access token is now revoked in that case.

Related Issue or Design Document

No issue; this is a previously unknown bug. To reproduce on master:

  • Without a session: remove ~/.ory-cloud.json and run ory auth logout. It opens a browser login.
  • With an expired session: sign in with ory auth, then set access_token.expiry in ~/.ory-cloud.json to a past date and access_token.refresh_token to an invalid value. ory auth logout prints "Your session has expired or has otherwise become invalid" and opens a browser login; ory auth logout --quiet fails.

Further comments

  • The revocation request now uses the HTTP client from the oauth2.HTTPClient context value, as the oauth2 package already does for token exchange and refresh. The new tests in cmd/cloudx/client/auth_test.go use it to fake the revoke endpoint, so they run without staging. All five cases fail on master.
  • I also ran the built binary against staging with an expired token, with and without --quiet: both sign out without a prompt.
  • Not tested against a real login: revoking the access token of a session without offline_access.
  • The legacy v0alpha0 config prompt ("Press enter to continue") still shows on logout, because NewCommandHelper triggers it for every command. Logout now replaces the legacy file, so it doesn't come back.

CI fixes included

The cloudx tests have failed on master since Oct 31, independent of this change, so this PR also fixes them:

  • test: log in through the identifier-first console login: since ory/cloud#16172 the console login asks for the email on its own screen and only then for the password, so the Playwright login helper timed out waiting for the password field in every package. The helper now submits the identifier step first. Kratos answers that step with 400 and the flow's next step, so a 400 only counts as a refusal if the flow carries error messages.
  • ci: do not cache results of tests against live staging: go test -race ./... with the restored Go cache reported cached passes for unchanged cloudx packages without contacting staging, which hid the break in most packages for days. The test step now runs with -count=1.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Signing out now attempts to revoke the available session token and clears saved credentials even if revocation fails.
    • Signing out succeeds when no saved configuration is present and clears legacy credentials without attempting token revocation.
    • Token revocation uses the refresh token when available, otherwise the access token.
    • Browser sign-in now supports login flows that ask for an identifier before a password.

`ory auth logout` loaded the config through GetAuthenticatedConfig,
which validates the session first. With an expired or invalid session,
or no session at all, it cleared the stored token and opened a browser
login, then revoked the token from that fresh login. The token that was
actually stored was never revoked, and with --quiet the command failed.

SignOut now reads the config file directly and revokes whatever token is
stored; RFC 7009 servers accept revocation of already invalid tokens.

Tokens obtained without the offline_access scope have no refresh token,
so the revocation request sent an empty token and the access token
stayed valid. The access token is now revoked in that case.

Walkthrough

Sign-out now reads stored configuration, attempts token revocation when a token is available, and clears local configuration. The login test helper supports identifier-first login and validates continuation responses. CI disables Go test-result caching.

Changes: Sign-out behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Token revocation and sign-out behavior
cmd/cloudx/client/auth.go, cmd/cloudx/client/auth_test.go
revokeToken selects the refresh token when available and otherwise selects the access token. SignOut logs revocation errors and clears configuration. Tests cover both token choices, a 503 response, missing configuration, and legacy configuration.

Login test flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Login-step submission and CI test execution
cmd/cloudx/testhelpers/testhelpers.go, .github/workflows/ci.yaml
The login hook submits an identifier step before the password step when required. The submission helper accepts valid continuation responses. CI runs go test -race -count=1 ./....

Merge Risk: Low · up to 1091d

Sign-out retains a misleading token-revocation warning, and malformed login responses can produce delayed, less informative test failures. These are bounded diagnostic issues; merging is reasonable with follow-up.

Explanation

The title "fix: sign out without re-authenticating and revoke the stored token" matches the main change. The diff makes SignOut read the config directly, skip the session check and browser login, and revoke the stored token (refresh token, or access token when no refresh token exists) before clearing local config. The title is concise, uses a conventional prefix, and names the primary behavior change. The CI fixes and the testhelpers changes are secondary and not in the title, which is expected.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main sections: a big-picture explanation, Related Issue or Design Document (it states there is no issue and gives reproduction steps for a previously unknown bug, which the template asks for in case 2), Checklist, and Further comments. It explains the bug, the fix, the RFC 7009 behavior, the offline_access case, testing done, and known limitations. The checklist items for tests and documentation are checked. Some boxes are unchecked (CLA, contributing guidelines, security policy, and the design-doc item), which is normal for an author-filled checklist and does not make the description incomplete. The description also covers the CI fixes in the same PR. The template's BREAKING CHANGES block is not present, but the change does not appear to be breaking, so its absence is acceptable.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 3 files.

Nitpick Assert the revocation host in the test recorder.

41-41: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the revocation host in the test recorder.

revokeRecorder checks only the method and path. A future change that sends the revocation request to another host would still pass these tests. The expected host is client.CloudConsoleURL("project").Host, which the production code also derives from the same function.

🧪 Suggested fix
-		if r.Method != http.MethodPost || r.URL.Path != "/oauth2/revoke" {
+		if r.Method != http.MethodPost || r.URL.Host != client.CloudConsoleURL("project").Host || r.URL.Path != "/oauth2/revoke" {

Update the request assertion in revokeRecorder to also verify that r.URL.Host
matches client.CloudConsoleURL("project").Host, while preserving the existing
method and path checks.

Since ory/cloud#16172 the console login asks for the email on its own
screen and only then for the password, so the browser login of every
cloudx test package timed out waiting for the password field.

The login helper now submits the identifier step when the email field
is shown, and starts at the password when reconfirming a session.
Kratos answers the identifier step with 400 and the flow's next step,
so a 400 only counts as a refusal if the flow carries error messages.

go test cannot see changes on staging, so with the restored Go cache
unchanged cloudx packages reported a cached pass without running. That
kept the identifier-first login break hidden in most packages for days.
