Solved: Interactive login hangs in docker container #102

Closed ioqy closed 1 year ago

ioqy commented 1 year ago

When only using --login password to login to an account it hangs after entering the URL of the homeserver. I have waited for something like 30 minutes but there was no timeout or something.

With debugging I get the following output:

2022-10-29 08:17:34,422:    DEBUG: matrix-commander: --login has chosen password method for authentication
Enter URL of your homeserver: [https://matrix.example.org]

Then I enter https://matrix.org and it just hangs until I press ctrl+c.

I used this method in the past and it worked fine.

Then I found out that I could give the homeserver, username and password as parameter and tried with the parameters --login password --user-login '@example:matrix.org' --password 'example' --homeserver 'https://matrix.org' and get a prompt for a device name. After entering the device name it also hangs. So I try with all the parameters that the password login supports --login password --user-login '@example:matrix.org' --password 'example' --homeserver 'https://matrix.org' --device 'matrix-commander' --room-default '!example:matrix.org' and then it worked fine.

I used the latest version via docker:

matrix-commander: 3.5.23 2022-10-25
matrix-nio: 0.20.0
Python: 3.10.7

I just retested for you:

matrix-commander --login password
Enter URL of your homeserver: [https://matrix.example.org] https://matrix.example.org
Enter your user ID:  [@john:example.org]  or  [john] for @john:matrix.example.org : john
Please provide your Matrix account password.
Password: 
Choose a name for this device: [matrix-commander] 
Enter room ID for default room:  [!SomeRoomIdString:example.org]  or  [alias] for #alias:matrix.example.org : alias

It works as expected. (It could not connect because I entered a host that does not exist. But it worked just fine.)

Same version:

matrix-commander  --version

What OS?

ioqy commented 1 year ago

The underlying OS:

Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
          Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-19-amd64
    Architecture: x86-64
ioqy commented 1 year ago

It was a problem on my end. I ran the container only with docker run --tty. Adding the --interactive option solved the problem.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

OK, glad it is working and you are on your way. :+1:
