[tsgsz]

Type: Bug

The login step in browser is good, and successfull, but when redirect to vscode, vscode can also recive the redirect request, because it will pop up a window to ask me if allow it, but after that, it stuck until timeout

And I have tried win11, win10, MACOS, also with proxy or not with proxy, nothing helped

[tsgsz]

Any update ?

[TylerLeonhardt]

Sorry could you attach a video or a gif? That would really help me understand what you're seeing.

/gifPlease

Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, it's hard for us to understand what issue you're seeing. Please help us out by providing a screen recording showing exactly what isn't working as expected. While we can work with most standard formats, .gif files are preferred as they are displayed inline on GitHub. You may find https://gifcap.dev helpful as a browser-based gif recording tool.

If the issue depends on keyboard input, you can help us by enabling screencast mode for the recording (Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode in the command palette).

Happy coding!

How do I make y'all stop sending me emails. I don't even do git hub

can you provide the contents of the GitHub Authentication output pane:

And also anything that shows up in Dev Tools:

• ctrl + shift + P
• "Dev Tools"

Very interesting... you see the spinning sign in to github.com... in your status bar... can you click on that and click cancel and then it'll ask you via a notification if you want to try logging in a different way... can you try that? Let me know if you need a video to understand what I'm talking about.

Already tried so many times， here is the result

@tsgsz let's try to get you unblocked first... can you open up Windows Credential Manager and go to Windows Credentials

Then look for any credentials that start with vscode and delete them. Then try logging in again.

There is no credentials that start with vscode, I delete all of the rest credentials and loggin again, the result is all the same.

I really don't think it's the credential problem, because couple of days ago, I try it in my mac, didn't work either, and my windows also resinstalled once, nerver work.

Let's see if this is a keytar issue then... first log in in vscode (even though it fails)

if you have nodejs installed, you can run this simple one-liner to see if the problem is how your keychain is setup:

npx @emacs-grammarly/keytar-cli find-creds -s vscodevscode.github-authentication

or if you're on Insiders:

npx @emacs-grammarly/keytar-cli find-creds -s vscode-insidersvscode.github-authentication

This is using the following open source package: https://github.com/emacs-grammarly/keytar-cli

What you should get is something like this:

[
  {
    account: 'github.auth',
    password: '....... longggg string ......'
  }
]

NOTE: on macOS I got a system prompt to allow this process to access the keychain... that may or may not be the case for you

Additionally, we can see if we can properly set passwords:

npx @emacs-grammarly/keytar-cli set-pass testingvscode testingvscode testingvscode

and then

npx @emacs-grammarly/keytar-cli find-creds -s testingvscode

should give us that newly created password.

and I manually set vscodevscode.github-authentication using the set-pass command, the output keytar is ok, just vsocde still can't login

[tsgsz]

My friend, any clue?

[tsgsz]

Hi， is there anyone still working on this issue？

[TylerLeonhardt]

I just got back from vacation and am juggling multiple items. This issue hasn't been forgotten

thanks

[TylerLeonhardt]

@tsgsz can you run these two lines in PowerShell and tell me what you get?

Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post https://vscode.dev/codeExchangeProxyEndpoints/github/login/oauth/access_token
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post https://vscode.dev/codeExchangeProxyEndpoints/github/login/oauth/access_token -Body 'code=123'

They will fail, but I want to make sure you at least get a response from the server

[tsgsz]

result as follow:

the text version: Invoke-RestMethod : No code property provided in body

• Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post https://vscode.dev/codeExchangeProxyEn ...

•   + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod]，WebException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand

knock knock

[TylerLeonhardt]

Believe it or not, but I was on another vacation. I'm back now... til the holidays... so hopefully we can make some progress here.

It's good that PowerShell was able to make a request to these urls... that's worth something. Though, to be honest, I'm not sure why VS Code would be having trouble here.

Do you have any proxies applied to your machine by your organization?

One thing we could try... have you used Fiddler before? Fiddler can be used to see if the request to vscode.dev/codeExchangeProxyEnd..... actually finishes. By installing that, and running it, it should start listening to the traffic that your machine makes and print it out:

Hi,

I've just read the full issue and I have the exact same issue. I'm using ssh keys to login to github, this works everywhere except in vscode.

It does popup the browser login window

But clicking signing with browser just goes to a blank localhost page most of the time, once it did show me a successfully login you can go back to the app, but in vscode it was still complaining.

npx @emacs-grammarly/keytar-cli find-creds -s vscode-insidersvscode.github-authentication Returns

[
  {
    account: 'github.auth',
    password: 'AQxlmzCMdedeFgtEgtjogfetgwt/lfsAefgAgteagt3geugtYerSgetOYrDD\n' +
      'Blablablabal(removed)'
  }
]

And this is Github Auth Log:

This only happens on my windows machine and funny to note that while trying to solve this, every single commits had a different user... not sure why but it might be related:

[TylerLeonhardt]

That doesn't seem to be related. VS Code does not open those popups. My guess is that Git Credential Manager or your shell does. I got a new issue going for you.

[tsgsz]

Sorry for the late reply, got sick for sometime, covid, I've got a new situation, my last computer naturally ok for days ago(I've done nothing, and no update), but my new mac can't login, exactly the same behavior, which remind me maybe there is some token or other thing time related?

[TylerLeonhardt]

Hey @tsgsz, hope you're feeling better. COVID sucks. For macOS, how did you install it. Could you record a video of you going through the flows? I'd love it if you could try the fallback flows to see if any work for you.
