I get logged out of sites when re-opening Nyxt

[anonimitoraf]

Precise recipe to reproduce the issue

• Sign in to https://www.youtube.com or https://www.github.com
• Close Nyxt
• Open Nyxt
• Expectation: Still logged in | Reality: Logged out

Is there a setting I have to enable for persistent sessions?

For website-specific issues: Can you reproduce this issue with Epiphany / GNOME Web (https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Web)? No

[jmercouris]

Could you please try with a more recent build? I believe this issue may have been at least /partially/ solved.

[anonimitoraf]

Hi @jmercouris

I pulled master and rebuilt. I still get logged out of youtube :( but I don't seem to be logged out from github anymore.

What were the issues before that you think might be causing this?

[jmercouris]

I believe it to be an issue with how we are handling cookie and data caches. As per YouTube I suspect they are doing something sneaky which we are blocking, either on accident, or on purpose.

[anonimitoraf]

Ah, I see. How do I disable all the ad-block-like modes?

[anonimitoraf]

Ok, with this, I don't get logged out anymore:

(define-configuration (web-buffer nosave-buffer)
  ((default-modes '())))

So I guess it is one of the blocker-like modes.

Seems to be both blocker-mode and reduce-tracking-mode

[anonimitoraf]

Actually, I've noticed that sometimes it logs me out. Sometimes it doesn't, intermittently.

I've disabled both blocker-mode and reduce-tracking-mode

This is my entire config:

(in-package :nyxt-user)

(defvar *swank-instance* (start-swank))

;; TODO Configure Emacs to fontify `def*'

;; Vim keybindings
(define-configuration buffer
  ((default-modes (append '(nyxt::vi-normal-mode) %slot-default%))))
(define-configuration prompt-buffer
  ((default-modes (append '(nyxt::vi-insert-mode) %slot-default%))))

;; Default modes
(define-configuration (web-buffer nosave-buffer)
  ((default-modes (append
                   '(auto-mode
                     ;; blocker-mode
                     ;; reduce-tracking-mode
                     ;; noimage-mode
                     ;; noscript-mode
                     ;; proxy-mode
                     force-https-mode)
                   %slot-default%))))

[jbmestelan]

I too get this behaviour, even with the default configuration. It is most noticeable with YouTube or GMail, from which I get disconnected on almost every restart. I do not think I noticed it on GitHub.

This is using the current Git master (99c8f81a).

[Ambrevar]

This could be fully fixed since https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/commit/fc39a0d7f68030fd3cbe2da03fa9304648176280. Can you people try master again?

[jbmestelan]

Yes, it appears to be fixed here. Thank you!

[jbmestelan]

Well, actually no, sorry: the issue still occurs (although much less frequently than before?). The issue tends to happen after Nyxt has exited in a crash.

[Ambrevar]

Fixed with #2050.
