Can't sigin with CLI - "context deadline exceeded"

FYI - currently using 1Password for Mac 8.10.18 (81018006).

The error is sporadic now, but still there – previously every time I tried to sign in I'd get the error.

The bug is still there.
op 2.21.0
1 Password for Mac 8.10.15

This doesn't happen every time, and as the message mentions a timeout (I'm a Go developer, so I recognize the context.DeadlineExceeded error) I suspect this is related to the time the user takes to unlock the app.

Note that in my case the login succeed, but I got the error and a exit code 1.

Hey folks neilio and @celeriaccloaked, could you also please share the 1Password 8 desktop app version you have installed, when this bug is appearing?

Thanks for your answer! So it is confirmed that the error ([ERROR] 2023/07/04 11:14:53 read: context deadline exceeded) is reproducible on 2.19.0 but not on 2.18.0. I was now able to reproduce and find the root cause for the issue. We are working on a fix internally.

All the best,
Andi

Thanks for your reply – I downgraded and at first I still had problems (I got the error "[ERROR] 2023/07/14 10:17:48 RequestDelegatedSession: native messaging: LostConnectionToApp" when I tried to log in via CLI). I worked around this by pre-launching the 1P app and then the CLI sign in worked.

I'm having the same issue, but I noticed that the behaviour is different depending on whether I've opened and unlocked 1password separately and left it open.

This is interesting information which makes me suspect the cause. What if you try CLI 2.18.0. I suspect this issue would not be happening with that previous version.

I'm having the same issue, but I noticed that the behaviour is different depending on whether I've opened and unlocked 1password separately and left it open.

When i run op signin --debug --account <account> without doing so, I get the same as neilio:

when I open and unlock 1password and run op signin --debug --account <account>:

11:09AM | DEBUG | Session delegation enabled

11:09AM | DEBUG | NM response: Success

11:09AM | DEBUG | NM request: NmRequestDelegatedSession
11:09AM | DEBUG | NM response: Success


the auth popup is at the NmRequestAuthorization step in both cases - but it seems like the application is closing too quickly or something in the case when it's being opened specifically by the CLI.

Hi! I think the first step would be to run the problematic command with --debug enabled and copy paste the output in here. This could give us a bit more to work with for finding the issue. All the best, Andi.
