Hi All,

I'm trying to find out why the authorization client does not return anything when the signIn method is called, but i get the following response that is difficult to understand:

{"message":"failed to retrieve issues","error":{"message":{}}}

As you can see, it does not seem to return any error message. Any ideas how I can find out the cause of the error and how to resolve it?

I would check the browser dev console and network logs. In most case, we do not swallow errors. When we do, the error message is direct as to the cause on our end, though I do see a couple areas we could improve.

Perhaps the unclear error is from your identity provider.

@tangytang if you're still seeing this issue, a reproducible example would help.
