I keep getting "You are not logged into Github.." Messages on Sync.. every day / every machine

[joergbattermann]

So this seems a bit weird - after updating to the latest version of your VS Github extension it appears I am getting logged out.. every day.. on two different machines.

I have logged in again and again on both machines and these messages appear to come back every day..? I have 2-factor authentication enabled and therefore always hit that other bug where to 2fa dialog never closes for which I keep waiting a little while giving it some time and it appears to work by then (read: I seem to be logged in).. but having to do that over and over again every day is .. a bit.. annoying.

Is there any log / data the extension writes why this is happening & what might help you?

Cheers,
-Jörg

@jbattermann That's definitely odd. Could you post the log that's in %LocalAppData%\GitHubVisualStudio\extension.log so I can see if there's clues?

Also, could you check the Windows Credential Manager to see if there are two entries there, one for git:github.com and another for https://github.com.

[joergbattermann]

I've attached the (zipped)
extension.log.zip file and yep, there are two entries in the credentials manager:

.. is that good or bad?

[shana]

@jbattermann That's good, that means you're logged in and git operations on github.com repositories will work inside VisualStudio (and anything else that knows to use your stored credentials)

The persistence looks wrong though! That's why you keep getting logged off every day, they're cleared when you log off. That's incredibly helpful, thank you! I'll get that fixed right away.

Woohoo - nice \o/ Thanks @shana

@jbattermann I just published a beta with a fix for this. It's still undergoing testing, but if you want to try it out, you can download it from the releases page, or configure a gallery in Visual Studio to get beta versions.

To configure the beta gallery, go to Tools / Options / Extensions and Updates and add a new gallery with the url https://visualstudio.github.com/releases/feed.rss. You'll be able to access it in Tools / Extensions and Updates in the Online or Updates tab, and you'll be able to install the beta version (or older versions, if you want)

[joergbattermann]

Thanks @shana for letting me know and getting this out so quickly - I've installed the beta, could log in (and the 2fa window DID close as its supposed to) AND I did stay logged in across Windows / session logouts and reboots - looks good to me 👍 !

[shana]

Awesome, thanks so much for the quick testing, glad to hear it's working!

Hrrrmmmm.. quick update here - I had to log in again today :-/ (on the machine I rebooted a few times yesterday and where it seemed to work perfectly fine) - the extension.log says the following:

I logged in again (2fa worked as expected again - window closing etc), I shutdown VS, and then rebooted the machine.. and I am still logged in.

Not sure what happened inbetween yesterday and tonight that cause the logout / error(s) above, but maybe you see something..
