Auth.verifyCurrentUserAttribute - Error: No current user

Describe the bug The process to verifying the attribute like ‘email’, via Auth.verifyCurrentUserAttribute(attr), is not finding the user and sending the ‘the_verification_code’ to email.

I already have successfully implemented every other Authentication feature needed in the app.

Code To Reproduce Redux Action that connects w/ AWS:

export function checkAttribute(email) {
  return dispatch => {
    dispatch(confirmUserLoading(true));
    console.log('UserEmail:', email);
    Auth.verifyCurrentUserAttribute(email)
      .then(() => {
        dispatch(confirmUserCodeSentSucessfully());
        console.log('verification code - UserEmail:', email);
        console.log('a verification code is sent');
      })
      .catch(err => {
        dispatch(confirmUserError());
        dispatch(confirmUserErrorMsg(err));
        console.log('error - UserEmail:', email);
        console.log('confirmUser with error', err);
      });
    dispatch(confirmUserLoading(false));
  };
}

Expected behavior find user and send the_verification_code to email to continue process

@powerful23 How could that Auth.resendSignUp help if the username is auto generated? Currently, I’m generating username automatically and use email/phone number as alias to sign in. If user signs up with email and not enter the confirmation code right after the click the “Sign Up” button, and later tries to log in with email, he will get User does not exist. I’m thinking of a way to get the auto generated username from email (such as a Lambda) and use that instead of email for logging in. In that case, I’ll get UserNotConfirmedException and I can show the confirmation screen for user to enter the code again. Is there any other better workaround? Thanks!
