[jsmithdev]

Try

 sfdx plugins:uninstall auth

tried but no luck.

i also tried npm i [email protected] -g to install older version with no luck

going to try installing other versions...

• tried [email protected]
• tried [email protected]
• tried [email protected]

we can not make and edit lwc without sfdx so this is very bad. if anyone finds a work around so we can do our jobs, please share

I tried to upgrade and downgrade salesforcedx and sfdx-cli

Finally, I find my sfdx plugin has auth

I uninstall it, then it works

Maybe you can try to downgrade salesforcedx to my version

@grieve54706 Nice, it works for me. Thanks.

@grieve54706 thanks for the listing :+1:

I'm experiencing same behavior described here on Windows.

sfdx force:auth:web:login -a foobar --instanceurl=https://foobar.my.salesforce.com

I use this command near daily. Was working normally for me earlier today after no login for a week (vacation). Later today after PC restart browser just hangs after entering credentials as described above. URL it hangs on is:

"https://foobar.my.salesforce.com/setup/secur/RemoteAccessAuthorizationPage.apexp?source=foo"

when I 'Terminate batch job' from sfdx I land at this URL with 'refused to connect'

"http://localhost:1717/OauthRedirect?code=foo&state=bar"

I thought maybe has to do with update to Powershell 7.2 I did earlier today, but seems others here are experiencing the problem on linux so probably unrelated.

So current theory is VSCode Salesforce Extension Pack plugin updated sfdx (or related package) in the background today and the update introduced this bug.

Not familiar with node TBH and don't seem to have npm/nvm commands in my PATH so not sure how to go about replicating the workaround discussed above. Neither have I ever updated sfdx manually so not too keen to mess about with downgrading - esp as that doesn't seem to have directly helped others. Feel free to tell me if I'm missing something dumb, but I'm happy enough for the moment to not bork my install running commands I don't understand.

Otherwise hope this info helps people cleverer than me to pinpoint the problem. Happy to provide more info if helpful.

That worked for me. Thanks!!

[rtoepfer]

I've been running sfdx force:auth:device:login as a workaround while this issue is open.

[ilo4]

I had the same issue.
Downgrading with " sfdx plugins:install [email protected] " did not work for me.

I effectively had to uninstall salesforce cli; reinstall latest version and then run :
sfdx plugins:uninstall auth

With that it's working again for now ...

This is fixed (for me at least!) as of sfdx-cli v 7.90.2

Yep, this is a duplicate of https://github.com/forcedotcom/cli/issues/890 which was fixed by https://github.com/forcedotcom/sfdx-core/pull/384.
