0.2.6 -> 0.2.7 - Bad Credentials

[Dayjo]

Hello,

Since updating to 0.2.7 today, I just get the 'Bad Credentials' error when I try and list my Gists. I can't see anything in the changes that would have affected this.

I have tried generating a new token and working with that, but get the same error.

Is there some more debug info I can get that would be useful?

When Atom v1.1.0 on OSX, I can't reproduce this issue..
Please post your settings.

Hi @aki77,

Thanks for your reply, here's my settings, with a new token in. REally not sure why all of a sudden it's stopped working

I uninstalled the package and re-installed (it maintained my token), but still getting Bad Credentials error.

I'm feeling like it's actually causing an internal error with the package, because once the error occurs, the package won't work unless I open another tab to use it on;

Please test your token using the curl.

curl -H "Authorization: token OAUTH-TOKEN" https://api.github.com/gists/starred

Replace "OAUTH-TOKEN" with your actual token.

Yeah that works fine.

[aki77]

After running the gist:list command , please check the following.

It's the token, plus a new line, plus the token again i.e.

"token
token"

Please check the following.

Replace /Users/aki with your home directory.

No such file or directory.

I have resolved the issue however. I thought it was odd that it was returning the double token. So I deleted the token and tried again.. watch..

The value of the token field is literally;

my_token
my_token

So somehow I managed to paste in the token twice, with a new line between them. And for some reason the single line options allow new line characters (which you then can't see). My bad, but potentially needs some extra validation on that field so that it doesn't contain new lines, or maybe it's a bug with Atom.

Happy for this to be closed, unless you want to keep it open and add some validation?

[aki77]

Noted with thanks! 😃
I want to add a validation.

[aki77]

Added debug settings.

👍 nice one, thanks!
