Unable to use the GitHub Copilot plugin in Rider

jorisvandijk commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug

I'm unable to use the Copilot plugin in Rider as it won't let me log in and throws the following error:

"Failed to initiate the GitHub login process. Please try again."

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior: I am following the steps as provided in the official documentation.

Expected behavior

I would expect it to open a webbrowser and let me connect the GitHub account to Rider.

Screenshots

Additional context

I can manually connect my GitHub account in the settings in Rider, but that is apparently not enough for the Copilot plugin.

I worked around this by doing jank stuff. https://gitea.krutonium.ca/Krutonium/NixOS/src/branch/master/user/krutonium-hm-extras/packages.nix#L11-L22

Thank you for the suggestion. I gave it a try, but am not familiar with "jank stuff". I did the following, which did not work:

home.packages = with pkgs; 
    let
      riderScript = pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "rider"
        ''
          ${pkgs.steam-run}/bin/steam-run ${pkgs.jetbrains.rider}/bin/rider
        '';
      rider = pkgs.jetbrains.rider.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: { meta.priority = 10; });
    in
  [
    steam-run
    jetbrains.rider
    ...
  ];

Any suggestions @Krutonium?

I should add I also tried without the pkgs. in front of each package as I run home.packages = with pkgs;

EDIT: Interestingly, running rider with steam-run rider from terminal did allow me to log in. Unfortunately re-running it without steam-run breaks it again. For now I can manually run it with steam-run, but that's not really a solution to this bug.

You need to add rider and riderScript to your packages; and because of the implicit usage, you don't actually need to install steam-run or jetbrains.rider.

Basically what we're doing is replacing the rider that everything normally calls with our own that runs the proper executable through steam-run. (Decreasing the priority of the jetbrains.rider package allows us to overwrite it)

The error message is bad, it has nothing to do with logins. The file ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Rider2022.3/github-copilot-intellij/copilot-agent/bin/copilot-agent-linux is pointing to the wrong dynamic linker and needs to be patchelf'd.

$ nix-shell -p
$ patchelf --set-interpreter $(cat $NIX_CC/nix-support/dynamic-linker) copilot-agent-linux

You'll have to repeat this step after every plugin update and ideally after every system update because $NIX_CC can get garbage collected.

Would it be possible to nixify the plugins, similar to eg Gnome Addons?

That sounds very annoying to be honest. I'd second the motion of @Krutonium to Nixify :) (Obviously I have no idea how much of a hassle that is, probably way more than I'd imagine)

Thank you for the reply!
