OAuthService hasValidAccessToken always returns true even if the access token expires

[MUsman1992]

Describe the bug
I am calling the OAuthService hasValidAccessToken method in the Angular but this mehod returns true even after the access token expires. I have also attached the code:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { ActivatedRouteSnapshot, CanActivate, CanActivateChild, CanLoad, Route, RouterStateSnapshot, UrlSegment } from '@angular/router';
import { OAuthService } from 'angular-oauth2-oidc';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class HasValidTokenGuard implements CanLoad, CanActivate, CanActivateChild {
  constructor(
    private authService: OAuthService,
  ) { }

  canLoad(route: Route, segments: UrlSegment[]) {
    return this.hasValidToken();
  }

  canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot) {
    return this.hasValidToken();
  }

  canActivateChild(_route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, _state: RouterStateSnapshot): boolean {
    console.log("inside canActivateChild method of HasValidTokenGuard ... ");
    console.log(this.authService.hasValidAccessToken());
    return this.authService.hasValidAccessToken();
  }

  private hasValidToken(): boolean {
    return this.authService.hasValidAccessToken();
  }


}

Expected behavior
hasValidAccessToken should return false and the Angular application should not naviagate to the URL.

Actual behavior
hasValidAccessToken always returns true even if the code expires and the Angular application naviagates to the URL.

Could this be a duplicate of #1214 and/or #1135?

Hi @jeroenheijmans Well, the above issues you have mentioned seem like this issue but what I have noticed is that tokens never expire. For my tokens, the expiry time is 5 minutes and even after 5 minutes, OAuthService hasValidAccessToken was returning true always so in my case tokens never expired.

This might be b/c of the default value for the clockSkew
