Unable to authenticate with netlify lfs

[jorisnoo]

I'm using netlify lfs for a repository but was suddenly unable to retrieve the files via git lfs fetch.

A complete re-install of the netlify-cli and the credential helper as well as a fresh clone of the repository (and running netlify lm:install) dit not help, unfortunately.

netlify status confirms that the local repository is connected to the netlify site.

netlify lm:info returns:

  ✔ Checking Git version [2.23.0]
  ✔ Checking Git LFS version [2.8.0]
  ✔ Checking Git LFS filters
  ✔ Checking Netlify's Git Credentials version [0.1.8]

When I run DEBUG=1 git lfs fetch, it seems like the process is stuck in a loop. Starting with

msg="Initializing Netlify credential helper" args="[/Users/xxx/.netlify/helper/bin/git-credential-netlify erase]"
msg="Initializing Netlify credential helper" args="[/Users/xxx/.netlify/helper/bin/git-credential-netlify get]"
msg="Git input received" host=290e8dfa-3830-4ba9-a888-xxxxx.netlify.com protocol=https

it then gets a json response containing data about the site and outputs

msg="Writing output data" host=290e8dfa-3830-4ba9-a888-xxxxx.netlify.com password="39fb1a****************" protocol=https username=access-token

However it then immediately starts with initializing the credential helper again (as in the lines above) — and continues being stuck in this loop. Are the credentials not properly stored or how could I go about finding a solution for this issue?

I'm running macOS 10.14.6 (18G95) with node v10.16.3.

All of a sudden, it was able to retrieve the credentials again.

@jorisnoo this was happening because of a backend issue that we just fixed.
thanks for reporting and sorry for interrupting your work!
