Building local DevEnv, downloading dependencies: Authentication fails when using "gh auth status" in AL-Go-Helper.ps1

[SCS-CBO]

During building a local development environment, downloading dependencies fails with:

ConvertFrom-Json : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'InputObject' because it is null.
At C:\Users***\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp71BD.tmp.psm1:10 char:53
+         $errorDetails = $errorRecord.ErrorDetails | ConvertFrom-Json

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (:) [ConvertFrom-Json], ParameterBindingValidationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationErrorNullNotAllowed,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ConvertFrom
   JsonCommand

The reason is that since 2.24 gh auth status returns an additional line which is unexpected by AL-Go and so included in the token and consequently lets authentication fail.

We have implemented a workaround: $_.authTokenSecret = $authstatus.SubString($authstatus.IndexOf('Token: ')+7).Split(" ")[0].Trim() Maybe that or something better can be added?

Why not use git auth token instead? There'd be no formatting necessary.

Didn't know about this one, but will definitely investigate.

3.1 uses gh auth token
