Failed to fetch user profile

[blade-demon]

After I configuration for my express4.x server with github, the server shows the error: Failed to fetch user profile.

error: at /root/passport-github/examples/login/node_modules/passport-github2/lib/strategy.js:96:19

Isn't passport-github2 a different repository?

[DiegoRBaquero]

Did you ever solve it?

It still happens for me randomly. Though am using passport-github2 package. Absolutely no idea why as I've checked the creds.. it works for some, fails for some. Not able to reproduce locally either.

I'm getting the same error on passport-github (not 2), also randomly. I can be sure that the id and the secret are correct because there's a chance (yes, a chance, which means about once per 5,6 requests, weird) that I can login successfully. I'm using version 1.1.0.

traceback:

upate: it's not the library's fault... seems that my dns provider is returning different ip addresses for api.github.com, some of which is unavailable.

I wish passport-github could have a better error presentation though

I had the same issue and changing the DNS helped me. This is a tutorial on how to change DNS in Mac (I recommend cloudflare)
