How can I invalidate cached @ref response on http status 401?

[ggecy]

I have login.http file which contains login request. Then in other .http files I use

# @import ./login.http
# @ref login
...
Authorization: Bearer {{login.access_token}}

to use the access token returned in login response. This token is valid for 5 minutes. How can I write a project local hook (or any other automatic mechanism) that will check any response status code if it is 401 and invalidate the cached login response so when I run the same failed request again it will rerun the login request again, the same way as if the login response was not yet cached? I know I can use @forceRef, but I don't want to call login with every call, only after it expires. I have tried calling api.sessionStore.reset() but that doesn't work.

The result of @ref is stored in the Variables. You just need to override this variable.

Well, I tried to remove the variables like this:

module.exports = {
  configureHooks(api) {
    api.hooks.onResponse.addHook('refreshExpiredToken', async (response, ctx) => {
      if (response.statusCode !== 401 || response.request?.name === 'login') {
        return;
      }
    
      delete ctx.variables.login;
      delete ctx.variables.loginResponse;
    });
  }
};

but it still doesn't want to run the login request automatically again when I click on "send" again. And I can see that the variables were removed in variables view.

My request then looks like this:

# @import ./login.http
# @ref login

@authToken={{login.access_token}}

###
# @name someRequest
GET {{baseUrl}}/some/endpoint
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {{authToken}}
