pscale auth login only showing output after ctrl+c - not able to log in

[aleksanderbrymora]

When running pscale auth login on WSL2 - Ubuntu, there is no output, nor redirect to any new windows for authentication.
Output of the command only shows up after I cancel the execution of the command (by pressing ctrl + c) then it outputs (probably) the expected things:

pscale auth login
^CFailed to open a browser: signal: interrupt

Confirmation Code: YMHOSZCP

If something goes wrong, copy and paste this URL into your browser: https://auth.planetscale.com/oauth/device?user_code=YMHOSZCP

Error: error performing http request: Post "https://auth.planetscale.com/oauth/token": context canceled

When I do try the provided URL it does surprisingly redirect me to the confirmation page with the code, where I can accept it.
When I do, it does go through, but obviously this token is not active anymore so the auth in the pscale cli does not register me as logged in.

I did upgrade all the packages in ubuntu
I downloaded and installed the newest release of the cli
I gave it quite a long time to run

Thanks for reporting, we'll look into this!

How did you get pscale CLI installed in WSL?

EDIT: ah never mind, I figured out to download the .deb file in windows from github, drag it over into my WSL directory and install using dpkg.

[aleksanderbrymora]

Just to be thorough I used these instructions. I used wget to grab the latest release and followed the rest of the instructions.
And yeah, the issue is still present and behaves in the same way, as described above.
Let me know if I can be of any more help.

Facing this as well.

Me too, for more context :
I installed the CLI in WSL by downloading the deb from the releases with wget and using dpkg -i.

Hello, I tried this today and it worked no problem, unless there is any objection I think this can be closed.

Tried it a week ago and it was still not working... Unless you changed anything, I doubted it's fixed.

For me at least this seemed to be caused by xdg-open which would hang no matter what I tried to do with it. Figured I'd reinstall it to see if anything would change, but simply leaving xdg-utils uninstalled fixed the issue for me (I have no other use for it).

Still encountering this as well, any news on a fix?

It might be a different problem, but when I used on WSL I could only make it work when I used pscale with sudo. Without sudo, it was hanging for quite long and then showed that it was not able to write access tokens to the filesystem.

I face this problem to. using WSL 2. it's not showing anything.

This is my machine, and I download pscale_0.126.0_linux_amd64.deb

I experience similar issues on WSL2 (Ubuntu):

I manually open the browser window, confirm, and I'm met with the following error. Can I get the output of the access-token so that I can atleast write this file manually?

Thanks in advance
