Can't authorize extension in Linux

• Extension version: 0.2.1
• VSCode Version:

Version: 1.28.1
Commit: 3368db6750222d319c851f6d90eb619d886e08f5
Date: 2018-10-11T18:09:20.566Z
Electron: 2.0.9
Chrome: 61.0.3163.100
Node.js: 8.9.3
V8: 6.1.534.41
Architecture: x64

• OS: Linux / Manjaro

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Click “Sign in” in extension pop-up
2. Browser opens
3. Click “Continue” (because I’m already logged in to GitHub in my browser)
4. Review permission and grant them (only happens first time)
5. Nothing happens / extension is not authorized

I’ve tried using both Chrome (69.0.3497.100) and Firefox (62.0.3). The first time I tried in Chrome it asked to invoke xdg-open and I checked the box to always do this.

Is there a way I can manually authorize the extension? Right now I can’t use it at all in Linux.

Hi! I think this flow should be fixed by https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-pull-request-github/pull/659

The uri handler may not open, but the auth server and newest version of the extension now provide an alternative route.

Please open a new issue if there are any problems.

This does not work for me either on Amazon Linux with AWS WorkSpaces. Will try the manual workaround suggested above.
