Assistant's GitHub Copilot: Auth process cancelation gets ignored
System details:
Positron and OS details:
Interpreter details:
Python 3.13.0
Describe the issue:
Auth process for GitHub Copilot continues, despite user having cancelled opening of external website. The Auth process, in that case, should halt.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
-
Go to 'Add Language Model' --> GitHub Copilot --> Sign in.
-
Dialog containing GH code appears. Click 'Ok'.
-
Dialog asking if user wants to open external website opens, as shown in screenshot below.
-
Click 'Cancel'. This should abort the auth process. However, auth process continues instead.
Expected or desired behavior:
Upon hitting cancel in external website dialog, Positron should NOT trigger opening of website and auth process should be halted.
Verified Fixed
Positron Version(s) : 2025.07.0-49 OS Version(s) : Windows 11
Test scenario(s)
As described in repro steps, you can now cancel out of the flow. Using the new cancel button.
