Hi Team,

Even I am facing this issue with GitHub extension with Visual Studio 2019. I have tried the above workarounds (uninstalling/reverting to previous version etc.) but no luck.

I am able to sign-in successfully to GitHub on my browser but through extension, when I click on 'Sign in with your browser' option, it opens the browser with the below URL and it just keeps loading: https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize?client_id=a200baed193bb2088a6e&scope=user%2Crepo%2Cgist%2Cwrite%3Apublic_key%2Cread%3Aorg%2Cworkflow&state=cd3677b8-bf82-4d2d-80c2-71fb3ed7cb63

Below is the error captured from Github Extension log:

I have the same problem,

Logs here extension.log

Solution worked for me 👍

I solved the problem by connecting in Github : Profile/Settings/Developer settings/Personal access tokens Then revoke all from token access list. Direct url

@mohan023 @techduggu,

@cyounes was able to resolve this by opening Visual Studio as Administrator before logging in, see https://github.com/github/VisualStudio/issues/2550#issuecomment-703280956

Any chance you could give this a try?

Oct 05 '20 17:10 jcansdale

I'm still facing this issue. Tried most of the suggestions mentioned here.

Oct 06 '20 04:10 mohan023

@mohan023, I'm sorry this didn't fix it. Thanks for trying!

Oct 06 '20 11:10 jcansdale

Hi @mohan023 (and @techduggu),

I think the issue you've been seeing might be this #2560 (reported by @osmanager). I've opened a PR that I hope will resolve the problem here #2562.

Could you try installing the artifact from this build: https://github.com/github/VisualStudio/pull/2562/checks?check_run_id=1309274757

You can find it here: https://github.com/github/VisualStudio/suites/1400504505/artifacts/23266202

After opening and installing the VSIX, can you let me know if it works any better? Any help confirming this fix would be much appreciated!

Oct 26 '20 14:10 jcansdale

@jcansdale I have the same issue as Mohan023 and techduggu. I tried using the link you provided, https://github.com/github/VisualStudio/suites/1400504505/artifacts/23266202 but I receive a 404 error.

Hi @BHinrichs1966,

Could you try installing the artifact from this link? https://github.com/github/VisualStudio/runs/1343191255?check_suite_focus=true

I downloaded the new extension. When I attempt to install it, it fails.

[cid:[email protected]]

I am attaching the .log

I am able to install the “production” version of this extension using the VS extension manager. But, not able to install this local copy. My company does have restrictions on our machines. I am not an administrator on my own machine. Could that be causing this to fail?

Yes, that could be causing this to fail. I'll let you know when this fix has been confirmed and a new version has been pushed to production!

Nov 03 '20 16:11 jcansdale

Do we have anyone who is not facing this issue anymore?

Nov 11 '20 15:11 mohan023

@mohan023 I'm seeing this again :/

Nov 18 '20 05:11 ttaylor29

@mohan023, @ttaylor29,

Any chance you could try the VSIX artifact from this build? https://github.com/github/VisualStudio/pull/2562/checks?check_run_id=1343191255

Nov 18 '20 12:11 jcansdale

@jcansdale Will this work if I just want normal GitHub and not the GitHub Enterprise Server?

Nov 18 '20 13:11 ttaylor29

@ttaylor29,

If there is an HTTP proxy between you and GitHub, it could make a difference. I'm interested to find out!

Nov 18 '20 14:11 jcansdale

@jcansdale I'll try this in a bit at lunch if I can!

Nov 18 '20 15:11 ttaylor29

@jcansdale How do I implement this?

Any chance you could try the VSIX artifact from this build? https://github.com/github/VisualStudio/pull/2562/checks?check_run_id=1343191255

FYI, I just tried it again with Chrome and it fails ; FireFox still works on my work laptop.

Never mind, I found the artifact folder with the GitHub.VisualStudio.vsix

Nov 19 '20 02:11 ttaylor29

@jcansdale It still failed :-(
