Hi everyone! I'm really having a tough time figuring out why my code works perfectly in my development environment but goes haywire in production. I'm working with React, Redux, and Django, and the only difference I can see are the configuration files like nginx.conf and docker-compose.yml. In dev, UI elements show or hide properly based on user roles, and the backend access control is also kicking in as it should. However, in production, once a user logs in, they can see all UI elements, even the restricted ones!
I've noticed that in production, the user role is being set to an empty string in my Redux state after login, even though it's coming through correctly in the request. This shouldn't happen since I'm doing a check based on the role in Redux to control UI visibility, but with it being an empty string, everything is showing.
Even when I deployed the dev branch to production, the same issue happened. I've been stuck on this for over 7 hours, and it's driving me crazy. I've rebuilt the Docker containers and verified that everything is updated.
I'm not too experienced with Redux, and I could use a fresh perspective on why the role is blank and how to approach debugging this problem. If anyone has suggestions or insights, I'd greatly appreciate it!

It sounds like you're dealing with a classic case of environment inconsistency. Have you tried logging every instance where you call `setUserRole`? This could give you clues about whether it's even getting invoked. If it's failing before that, it could be an issue with `setAuthenticated`. Make sure there aren't any uncaught exceptions going on that might be halting execution. If it's too urgent, a temporary fix could be to simply check for an empty role and hide those components in the UI anyway. That could at least mask the issue while you debug.
