Unable to sign in and retry (new user)

Tried to "Generate the app" from the GPT Web App Generator interface and was asked to sign in to GitHub, after signing in there was an error "An unknown error occurred while trying to log in with the OAuth provider." And I couldn't retry the process even after 2 hours as it kept redirecting me to the same error page. I am unsure if there was an error with my login, or is it an issue with the OAuth provider, please help 🙏 .

Hi @Mr Coma. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- I apologize for the inconvenience you're experiencing. Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can offer some insights and suggestions regarding your OAuth sign-in issue with GitHub authentication in Wasp. 1. Error Display: Wasp has recently improved its error messaging for authentication issues. Instead of showing a generic error, it should now display more user-friendly messages. However, it seems you're still encountering a generic error message, which might indicate a deeper issue or that you're using an older version of Wasp. Auth UI and OAuth: show auth errors on screen 2. GitHub OAuth App Setup: Ensure that you've correctly set up your GitHub OAuth App. This includes: - Creating a GitHub OAuth App in your GitHub account settings - Setting the correct Authorization callback URL - Copying the Client ID and Client secret - Adding these credentials to your .env.server file Setting up Github Auth 3. Environment Variables: Make sure you've added the correct environment variables to your .env.server file:

   GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your-github-client-id
   GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=your-github-client-secret

   GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your-github-client-id
   GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=your-github-client-secret

Adding Environment Variables 4. Wasp Configuration: Ensure that your main.wasp file includes the GitHub authentication method:

   app myApp {
     // ...
     auth: {
       userEntity: User,
       methods: {
         gitHub: {}
       },
       onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
     },
   }

   app myApp {
     // ...
     auth: {
       userEntity: User,
       methods: {
         gitHub: {}
       },
       onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
     },
   }

Default Behaviour 5. Retry Mechanism: The fact that you can't retry the process even after waiting suggests there might be an issue with session management or the OAuth flow. This could be related to how Wasp handles failed authentication attempts. Given the information available, it's difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of your issue. It could be a configuration problem, an issue with the OAuth provider, or a bug in Wasp's authentication system. To troubleshoot further, I recommend: 1. Double-checking all your GitHub OAuth App settings and environment variables. 2. Ensuring you're using the latest version of Wasp. 3. Clearing your browser cache and cookies, then trying again. 4. If the issue persists, it would be helpful to check the server logs for more detailed error messages. If none of these steps resolve the issue, I recommend reaching out to the Wasp community on their Discord channel for more personalized support, as mentioned in one of the GitHub issues. They might be able to provide more specific guidance based on your exact setup and the version of Wasp you're using. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Mr Coma, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?

@kapa.ai I doubt that it is an issue on my end as I've tried signing in using a different browser and the issue still persists. I also don't think there's any need for me to set up anything because I've tried registering/signing in with other AI services using GitHub as well and there were no issues at all.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I understand your frustration, and I appreciate you providing more context about your experience. Based on the additional information you've shared, it does seem that the issue might be on the Wasp or service side rather than with your setup. Let me address this based on the relevant information from our knowledge sources. 1. Known Issues: There have been reports of OAuth-related problems in Wasp, particularly with redirects and error handling. For instance, this GitHub issue mentions cases where OAuth sign-ups failed silently, redirecting users to the login page without clear error messages. 2. Recent Changes: Wasp has recently made significant changes to its OAuth implementation. According to this GitHub issue, Wasp has switched to using the Arctic library for OAuth providers. This change was intended to simplify the OAuth process and support more providers, but it's possible that it has introduced new issues or edge cases. 3. Server-side Problems: The error message you're seeing ("An unknown error occurred while trying to log in with the OAuth provider") suggests that there might be a problem on the server side. This could be related to how Wasp is handling the OAuth flow or processing the response from GitHub. 4. Persistent Redirect: The fact that you're being continuously redirected to the error page, even after waiting, indicates a potential problem with session management or error handling in the Wasp authentication flow. Given that you've tried different browsers and have successfully used GitHub authentication with other services, it's likely that the issue is specific to the Wasp implementation or the particular instance you're trying to use. Unfortunately, the knowledge sources don't provide a direct solution for this specific scenario. However, here are a couple of suggestions: 1. If you're using a public instance of the GPT Web App Generator, it would be helpful to report this issue to the Wasp team. They might not be aware of this problem affecting their public demo. 2. The Wasp team is active on their Discord channel and GitHub issues. Reporting this problem there might get you a quicker and more specific response, as they can investigate the server-side logs and configuration. Wasp GitHub Issues would be a good place to check if others are experiencing similar problems or to report this issue if it's not already documented. I apologize that I can't provide a direct solution, but hopefully, this information helps clarify that the issue is likely on the service side and not due to your setup. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Mr Coma, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.
