notebook_login() fails for jupyter notebook

[HarryLyness]

Describe the bug

Logging on with google colabs works fine. When attempting to log in to huggingface on jupyter notebook

I get the following error.

[Errno 13] Permission denied:

I have also tried alternative methods, e.g.

from huggingface_hub import login

login(token=os.environ.get("HF_TOKEN"))

[Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\harry\\.cache\\huggingface\\token'

Reproduction

from huggingface_hub import login

login(token=os.environ.get("HF_TOKEN"))

Logs

[Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\harry\\.cache\\huggingface\\token'

Hi @HarryLyness, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. It looks like the Python interpreter running the Jupyter notebook don't have permission to write into 'C:\\Users\\harry\\.cache\\huggingface\\token' file - which is not really a problem with huggingface_hub itself. This should not be the case if you run it from harry user. Could you check manually that you have the permission to do it? (for example with touch C:\\Users\\harry\\.cache\\huggingface\\token' on WSL).
