InternalOAuthError: Failed to fetch user profile

[MaximeHeckel]

While putting my app that uses passport Github on production I got this issue:

InternalOAuthError: Failed to fetch user profile
    at /app/node_modules/passport-github2/lib/strategy.js:98:19

    at process.wrappedFunction (/app/node_modules/newrelic/lib/transaction/tracer/index.js:271:51)

I can reach the github login page but it failed during the callback and gives me an Internal Server Error.
The app is well configured (clientID, clientSecret and callback url) plus I can't reproduce that on local.
Here are my scopes : { scope: ['read:org', 'user:email'] }

Any idea from where it can come from?

(I also tried passport github2, same issue)

This was a credential issue

Can you please elaborate on how you solved the problem as I am running into the same issue

[MaximeHeckel]

The person in charge on putting the app online just used the wrong credentials.
To elaborate he copied pasted the client id twice (once for the client id and once for the client secret). Thus the issue. Most of the time this is due to the use of wrong or invalid credentials as far as I know

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who made that exact same mistake. Thanks 😃

Hi, just wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue again. I ran into this and after double checking the clientID and clientSecret, still not able to resolve. Any help or suggestion is appreciated.

I am having similar issues @HuangStanley050 that started popping up recently.

GIthub seems to have started to undergo a lot of changes since joining Microsoft and perhaps the OAUTH setup is having issues, because I have seen it reported several places recently (something to do with DNS for the ISP... which seems really odd)

Are you still having issues? Does it happen often?

[HuangStanley050]

I haven't tried again but unfortunately, it never seemed to have worked for me

Please check the network connection between your host and Github.
Changing the static address of Github in the hosts file works for me.

Guys, i created github app instead of github OAuth app. Be focus. :)

):( Spent 2 hours searching for the solution...!!
Turns out there was a typo in my variable name for secrets as compared to the one in my .env file

Hi , I am experimenting the same problem, I double check the credentials, and i have a good connection but nothing.
I also downloaded the last github source from passoport as example and it doesn't not work even !

Any clue ?

I am having the same problem with user auth using a github app (not oauth app) - the rest of the user auth flow seems to be successful - just the last step fetching the user profile...
