Sanity CLI login issues in GitHub Codespaces environment

3 replies
Last updated: Nov 30, 2024
Hi,
I'm running into a slightly annoying blocker. Most operations with the sanity CLI require you to login before usage. However, I'm working in a Github Codespace.


 bun run sanity deploy
The CJS build of Vite's Node API is deprecated. See <https://vite.dev/guide/troubleshooting.html#vite-cjs-node-api-deprecated> for more details.

Error: You must login first - run "sanity login"
    at /workspaces/mono/node_modules/@sanity/cli/lib/_chunks-cjs/cli.js:7049:13
    at Object.deployStudioAction [as default] (/workspaces/mono/node_modules/sanity/lib/_chunks-cjs/deployAction.js:21:167)
error: "sanity" exited with code 1
Codespaces proxy localhost and therefore the login callback is incorrect when open the login URL on my local pc


bun run sanity login
? Login type Google

Please open a browser at <https://api.sanity.io/v1/auth/login/google?type=token&label=codespaces-><>Linux&origin=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A4321%2Fcallback
Waiting for browser login to complete... Press Ctrl + C to cancel
I've tried to set 
SANITY_AUTH_TOKEN
in my env but it still asks me to login all the time. I don't see an obvious way to resolve this. I can't even generate a project from template because it asks for login.

I was actually able to get the 
SANITY_AUTH_TOKEN
to work, seems it was unset by me at some point. But would still be nice to be able to login.

Happy to hear you got this working. The login process requires a browser, so using the env variable like this is the canonical approach.

Yeah, as suggestion some other cli's like 
gcloud
for example provide 
--console-only
or 
--no-launch-browser
options where you can copy paste the link on a different machine and login there then copy a code back over. https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/authorizing
but understandable if its not a high priority thing given there is a workaround.
