A recent change added an internal _refresh_token method to some credentials files.

Parts of the codebase were already using _refresh_token as an internal variable, holding a token value

This causes some inconsistencies in the codebase, where it's not always clear if _refresh_token is referring to an action or an object

It was also causing complications in internal code that depended on _refresh_token objects

This PR renames the methods to _perform_refresh_token, to avoid the duplicate naming

Summary of Changes

Hello @daniel-sanche, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a critical naming conflict within the codebase by systematically renaming an internal method and a related variable. The _refresh_token method, responsible for performing the token refresh operation, has been renamed to _perform_refresh_token to clearly distinguish it from instances where _refresh_token referred to the token value itself. This refactoring significantly enhances code clarity, reduces ambiguity, and prevents potential issues stemming from overloaded naming conventions, leading to a more maintainable and understandable codebase.

Highlights

  • Method Renaming: The internal _refresh_token method has been consistently renamed to _perform_refresh_token across multiple credentials classes. This change clarifies its role as an action rather than a data attribute.
  • Variable Renaming: In google/auth/external_account_authorized_user.py, the internal attribute _refresh_token_val has been renamed to _refresh_token. This aligns its naming with the new convention and removes redundancy.
  • Improved Code Clarity: These renames resolve a naming conflict where _refresh_token was ambiguously used for both a method (an action) and a variable (a token value). This refactoring enhances readability and prevents potential complications arising from overloaded names.

Code Review

This pull request is a refactoring to rename the internal _refresh_token method to _perform_refresh_token across the codebase. This change aims to resolve ambiguity where _refresh_token was used as both a method name and a variable name for a token value. The changes are generally correct and consistently applied. However, I found a critical typo in an error message that should be corrected.

This appears to be a bug in the previous code. I think this was supposed to be self._refresh_token_val.

This PR should fix any issue here though
