Can not authenticate connection after visiting startUrl externally

[anyfactor]

Problem

I can not authenticate the connection to AWS' endpoints. Followed the steps described here: https://aws.amazon.com/codewhisperer/resources/#Getting_started/

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Followed the steps described in https://aws.amazon.com/codewhisperer/resources/#Getting_started/
2. Connected and validated the code produced by VSCode from the browser and verified my account.
3. But the connection to VS Code editor was not successful

Try clicking on the "AWS" icon in the vscode sidebar. If there is still an issue, try Sign Out in the context menu and then login again.

I have VS Code installed on a Mac, but my code and therefore the extension is running in a Linux Docker container. I have a Builder ID, but I get this error message:

And these are the only files under my ~/.aws/sso/cache directory. There are no other files under ~/.aws.

Any ideas on a fix? Is it because I'm using it in a Docker container?

@anyfactor @chyld

See this comment. The status bar item is causing some confusion with getting started.

[chyld]

@JadenSimon Yes, that was it. I was initially clicking on the status bar to login. Once I logged in via the side bar explorer it worked perfectly. Thanks!

Looks like for some reason, the browser authentication isn't being communicated to the extension.

[anyfactor]

Solved.

So the issue was that I was not opening the https://device.sso.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/ through VSCode prompt. Rather I was copying the link and opening the site manually separately on the browser. For some reason, the authentication process required VSCode to connect to the site directly through the browser.
