Unable to get the currently logged-in user

Unable to get the currently logged-in user, GitHub Pull Requests will not work correctly.

• Extension version: 0.110.0
• VSCode Version: 1.100.2 (Universal)
• OS: MAC OS v15.4.1
• Repository Clone Configuration (single repository/fork of an upstream repository):
• Github Product (Github.com/Github Enterprise version x.x.x):

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Just install the extension, and you will get the error. It's basically saying you can't log in to GitHub. Maybe the problem is with the underlying authorization package you guys use. It works fine with a lower version(Any).
2. Works if you switch to another branch in the same repo. Even from that branch to the main branch works fine. The problem occurred for the first time. Even after reloading VS Code. It happens.

+1 on this; exact same issue. Same OS, VSCode, and Extension versions. Downgrading to previous release fixes the issue.

Same issue, this is my log:

@amjad-adsk @jason-dour-e for me, the issue went away when switching to the Prerelease branch of the extension, which can easily be done from the extension page in vscode.

[manas-maji]

Disabling and re-enabling the extension resolved the issue for me.

[alexr00]

Closing, as this seems to be fixed in the pre-release version. Thanks for reporting it!

[jason-dour-e]

@alexr00, I just tested the pre-release version, and it did not resolve the issue. Any recommendations for testing?

[jason-dour-e]

Now I'm getting a new error. Using 0.108.0 (which previously resolved the error) now gives the following when loading or when trying to refresh the PR panel:

Element with id Local Pull Request Branches is already registered

That's the entirety of the error message.

UPDATE

In my settings JSON, the following was present:

    "githubPullRequests.queries": [
        {
            "label": "Local Pull Request Branches",
            "query": "default"
        },
        {
            "label": "Waiting For My Review",
            "query": "repo:${owner}/${repository} is:open review-requested:${user}"
        },
        {
            "label": "Assigned To Me",
            "query": "repo:${owner}/${repository} is:open assignee:${user}"
        },
        {
            "label": "Created By Me",
            "query": "repo:${owner}/${repository} is:open author:${user}"
        },
        {
            "label": "All Open",
            "query": "default"
        }
    ],

Removing the above settings removed the error message above and returns 0.108.0 to normal functionality.

However, 0.110.0 and the pre-release version still give the Github User error.

unable to resolve in pre-release version, here is my log

@alexr00 the problem hasn't been fixed in the pre-release version, I just tested the recent release.

[crowbait]

@alexr00 the problem hasn't been fixed in the pre-release version, I just tested the recent release.

The "recent release" is 0.110, the pre-release is 0.111 . From your wording it's not entirely clear which one you have installed; you can check on the extension's page in vscode (the version number is on the right side of the page).

[Spenhouet]

I can not get the extension to work. Always goes into

Unable to get the currently logged in user, GitHub Pull Requests will not work correctly

Fetching pull requests failed: Connect Timeout Error (attempted address: api.github.com:443, timeout: 10000ms)

Also tried out the pre-release version. Doesn't work either.

On my system I can connect to the API, I have no proxy, no VPN, only thing is that I'm running VS code with WSL mode. But I can also connect to the GitHub API in WSL.

[jason-dour-e]

Further testing. 0.108 does not give an error about the currently logged in user, but it does not work. I am unable to interact with GH PRs via the extension, the API calls just time out.

I went so far as to log out of GH entirely in my VSCode, and logging in again. Other GH related extensions all reauthorized, but this extension did not.

This extension is now completely useless to me.
