Cypress: Can't authorize cypress-io to use github

[btalexraescu]

Current behavior:

Authorize cypress-io button is disabled.

Desired behavior:

The button should not be disabled.

How to reproduce:

Fresh install of cypress through npm install cypress --save-dev. Start cypres npx cypress open , login with git account. After login, I'm redirected to authorize screen. TheAuthoryze button is disabled, and can't finish log in process.

Additional Info (images, stack traces, etc)

Also I get a banner saying that Github no longer supports my web browser.
I think that the issue might be related to another electron issue:

https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/8838

• Operating System: Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.3
• Cypress Version: 1.4.1
• Browser Version:Chrome 63

Electron fix: https://github.com/manosim/gitify/commit/a5b326f1f4e93b10e43d7985bdb4cc55848103c8

[brian-mann]

We already do that - so it's not the root issue.

I have the same issue with the desktop version on win10

[saadaouad]

Me too i get the same issue!, i think something is wrong with auth0 authorization.

[jennifer-shehane]

I've searched our auth0 logs and see no indications of errors in this part.

How the button disabling works:

The button is always initially disabled, but it is re-enabled automatically by JavaScript running in that page. (This behavior is there to prevent certain types of attacks.) You'll see this if you reload the page in your browser and look closely at the button --you'll see it's disabled at first and then is enabled after a second or so.

I see the note about upgrading the browser, but am unable to replicate the disabled authorize button. I tried:

• initial npm install in new project
• running cypress locally (no errors in console)

Needs more information or investigation.

[saadaouad]

FYI @jennifer-shehane,

• i'm in the latest version of chrome
  

• npm already installed in the app
• cypress is running with no error

@saadaouad Thank for the info. Your version of Chrome is irrelevant to where this window is being opened. This is opening within Electron's Chromium browser which is bundled with Cypress. We are in the process of updating Electron #1275 so perhaps this issue may be resolved with that update.

[jennifer-shehane]

The Electron 59 update #1275 does remove the deprecation banner at the top of the window.

Thanks @jennifer-shehane i see now +1

Cool

[saadaouad]

FYI, you need to login with Github in https://dashboard.cypress.io/#/login, then you should authorize Cypress to use Github within Electron.

[jennifer-shehane]

@saadaouad Thanks! Yes, I had read that authorizing through another browser then coming back does solve this. So, yes ^ if you're having this issue go to Dashboard and login then try to come back to application for now. @olivvv @btalexraescu

[jennifer-shehane]

Closing due to no new activity recorded with this issue.

[guillaumep]

Got the same issue while trying to create a new account from the Cypress application on macOS.

The 'Authorize cypress-io' button is disabled and not clickable.

I had to access the URL suggested by saadaouad in a full browser window to make this work.

[jennifer-shehane]

We've had 2 people express that they are encountering this issue again. Reopening to investigate.

Workaround

As a workaround today, you can log in to Cypress via https://dashboard.cypress.io/#/login and authorize GitHub access there. When you return to the Desktop app to login after, it should already be authorized now and log you in.

[anymost]

The same issue I encountered. The version of cypress is 3.1.5

[anymost]

I found a solution. first you can login in cypress dashboard on your chrome browser, then click the run button in cypress. it will login in successfully.

[unbracketed]

I am encountering this issue with current versions installed either via CDN or npm install.

Cypress Version 3.1.5 (3.1.5)
macOS 10.14.3 (18D109)
npm v6.8.0

[markgoho]

I've got 2fa enabled on my account and the browser window opens, but doesn't accept my yubikey. It works literally everywhere else except this popup.

I also get the "Github doesn't support this browser" message.

[jennifer-shehane]

This PR is in progress and should fix this issue. It will be released as part of 3.1.6. https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/3583

[cypress-bot[bot]]

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#3695, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.

[cypress-bot[bot]]

Released in 3.2.0.
