OAuth2 hanging at "Waiting for localhost..." #17

Closed davidradkowski closed 5 years ago

davidradkowski commented 6 years ago

I've just tried to start and authenticate the app, however, I got stuck at the OAuth2 authentication step. The app opens a web browser (checked with both chromium and Firefox) in which I successfully log into my account but subsequently the webpage starts to wait with "Waiting for localhost" status bar message. The app is waiting for something as well with a message about obtaining tokens. Have I missed anything? What are the web browser and the app waiting for?? (I have client's ID and secret exported)

Cheers

After OAuth2 is authorized by you, the web page should connect to a localhost server on port 5013 to relay the token. Apparently it's not making that connection. Do you have a firewall? If so, disable it or allow inbound connections on port 5013.
