Closed LazyBoot closed 5 years ago

LazyBoot commented 5 years ago

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? bug

What is the current behavior? Unable to click the authorize button when trying to log into github. (button seems disabled) image If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem. I attempted to log into github on a new install of Git Extensions, and got to the window in the screenshot above.

What is the expected behavior? To be able to click the button and log in.

Environment you encounter the issue:

Did this work in previous version of GitExtensions (which)?

Duplicate of #4800

GitHub token still works though (same in 3.0)

I think that I have the same problem. But I do not think, that this is a duplicate of #4800. I can ignore the IE-Browser hint, but the "Authorize mabako" button remains disabled!!!

I have revoked the gitextensions authorization in GitHub and I have no oauth token (I switched from Windows7 to Windows10). I use the latest versions of git(2.19.1.windows.1), gitextensions(2.51.05) and Windows10 (Version 1803).

I have no idea how to get an authorization token and I would really appreciate very much a hint to a solution!

Plugins-> GitHub menu.

Dear @vbjay! That's right ("Plugin->GitHub menu."), but then I get this panel given on top (as a picture) with this button "Authorize mabako" disabled. Anyway, thanks for the quick answer.
Maybe I should say, that I use usually ssh, but this is not involved here as far as I understand.

Right. I wanted to use cefsharp as the browser but they fussed about dependancies. Now they have to quit using IE browser and use cefsharp or some other hostable browser instead of IE.
