I was stuck on git-bug bridge wizard, failing to connect with the Gitlab personal access token:

git-bug bridge configure
[1]: github
[2]: gitlab
[3]: jira
[4]: launchpad-preview
target: 2
name [default]: 
Gitlab server URL [https://gitlab.com/]: 
Gitlab project URL: https://gitlab.com/myproject
Gitlab login: mylogin
You can generate a new token by visiting https:/gitlab.com/profile/personal_access_tokens.
Choose 'Create personal access token' and set the necessary access scope for your repository.

'api' access scope: to be able to make api calls

Enter token: glpat-xxxxx
token has incorrect format
Enter token: xxxxx
token is invalid: GET https://gitlab.com/api/v4/user: 401 {message: 401 Unauthorized}

The string given is not accepted (it should). If I truncate the prefix, it fails.

Then I tried the command line with the full token with success:

 git-bug bridge configure --name=default --target=gitlab --url=https://gitlab.com/myproject --login=mylogin --token=glpat-xxxxx
Gitlab server URL [https://gitlab.com/]: 
Current identity dc710e2 tagged with login mylogin
Successfully configured bridge: default

Also, the URL of new token is https://gitlab.com/-/profile/personal_access_tokens.

m2crypto@stitny (master)$ git bug bridge auth add-token --target=gitlab --login=mcepl
Building identity cache... Done.
Building bug cache... Done.
Enter the token:
glpat-somethingsecret
token something added
m2crypto@stitny (master)$ git bug bridge auth
Error: unknown credential type ""
m2crypto@stitny (master)$

For me using the latest version in master and using "interactive token creation" worked.

For me it doesn’t:

@mcepl I only used the bridge configure without adding a token before and there was a interactive auth option there.

Same thing for me, version 0.7.2. Full token gives "incorrect format", removing its prefix gives a 401. git-bug happily configured things when I passed the token non-interactively, using the command line --token option.

Ah, seems it's fixed in master: https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug/issues/838. This issue should probably be closed then.

Indeed. Sorry about that, I'm working my way there but i'm pretty busy on other life things.

No problem of course 🙂 Thank you for your work on git-bug. I don't often check it out, but it's there in a corner of my mind and today I wanted to try it again 😄 I'll keep an eye on the releases 😉
