1408457 - When doing a task that communicates with TaskCluster, should verify scopes are not expired

Status: NEW

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Cameron Dawson [:camd]]

In some actions like adding new jobs, we only check our internal $scope.user.loggedin to determine if the user is logged in and can, therefore, trigger new jobs.  However, the expiration in TaskCluster may be different than ours if the tab's been open for a few days.

We should make a call to auth.currentScopes to verify that the scopes the user has are still current before making the call.  Otherwise, they may have tabbed away only to come back hours later, chagrined, to realize it failed due to expired scopes.

I'm not going to get to this any time soon and I don't think it's super critical. But still worth doing at some point.
