stripe cli login stuck on "Waiting for confirmation"

[davefinarb]

Issue

stripe login --api-key pk_test_****
it then shows
Your pairing code is: some-codes
This pairing code verifies your authentication with Stripe.
Press Enter to open the browser (^C to quit)
⣯ Waiting for confirmation...
Then it sticks in it and after some mins it shows
exceeded max attempts and quits

Expected Behavior

Probably opens a browser. Not sure.

Environment

Ubuntu 19 Linux

Hi @davefinarb, thanks for the report. Indeed, the stripe login command should open your browser and take you to a confirmation page to grant access to your Stripe account to the CLI.

Could you confirm the following?

• Are you running the stripe login command from a graphical environment?
• What happens if you run xdg-open https://stripe.com from a terminal?

[davefinarb]

Strangely both stripe login and xdg-open https://stripe.com are working now on the same machine.

[ob-stripe]

Weird! Thanks for closing the loop anyway.

Same here, running
xdg-open https://stripe.com

Resets whatever it needed to.

Before this, firefox opens, but it's just 'waiting' (no url in url bar)

Hi @ob-stripe

Made a quick video showing this behaviour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrgS6uiPm1M&feature=youtu.be

stripe version 1.5.1

Is there a way to print the browser URL instead, on systems that don't have a browser installed (I'm on WSL1 on Windows)? I know it's going to create a restricted key with certain permissions, so I'd like to use this method rather than creating my own restricted key that might have the wrong permissions.

I'm having the same problem, running pop_os. Tried xdg-open https://stripe.com and got the error that DISPLAY was not set, I exported the DISPLAY=:0 and it still fails. having the tool display the path so we can at least copy and paste it into a browser would be very handy.

Any same solution for windows, running the command from Windows PowerShell is ending with the same error message.
Thanks

I started having a similar issue, using command prompt instead of powershell seemed to fix it.

Too late to address the issue, but I was having the same issue.

I tried running the stripe-cli using interactive mode, and provided the secret key, it worked.

stripe login --interactive
<provide your secret key>

and you are good to go!!

Too late to address the issue, but this is how I fixed it!
