cloudsmith auth doesn't work in Cygwin bash shell

Open bakoontz2 opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

That's where python is installed, in Cygwin on Win 10. Attempting to do a cloudsmith auth generates a link (which I can authenticate against) and this message:

Starting webserver to begin authentication ...

I'm assuming a web browser should pop up here. I know that it's possible, because the Azure CLI does, in fact, pop up a webrowser window to authenticate against.

Is there maybe a command line option I'm missing?

hi @bakoontz2 - let me check, but I don't think we have an option like --no-browser that would allow you to workaround this. Have you tried using an API key, rather than SSO for auth?

One use of the cli is to help create api keys. I would love to automate this for my team but we have remote shells without web browsers with the same problem.

Seems to be a pretty bad limitation.
