Unable to access private repos in organization about alfred-github-workflow

I tried that (logging out, deleting cache, and logging back in) several times and it's not fixing the issue. FWIW - I have my account setup with 2-factor auth. the alfred workflow seems to take that into account when signing in, but I don't know if that's maybe throwing things off.

[starzonmyarmz]

Also, I'm using the latest of Alfred: v2.1 (218) and here's the info on the gh extension:

And is it the latest workflow version?

I can't reproduce that. Enabled 2-factor auth, deleted cache, re-logged in, and I'm still seeing private repos of organizations I belong to.

[starzonmyarmz]

it appears to be the latest version of the workflow... I originally installed it last week, and have done gh > update several times today. I'm able to use https://github.com/search without any issues.

[starzonmyarmz]

Even tried deleting the workflow completely and reinstalling.

[gharlan]

Ok, than you have the latest version, of course ;)

What is the result of this test? #16 (comment)

I can see the private repos when making the http request, but not when running the command in my terminal.

[gharlan]

And can you see them in the result of this terminal command?

curl -b ~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred\ 2/Workflow\ Data/de.gh01.alfred.github/cookies https://github.com/command_bar/repos_for/YOUR_ORGANIZATION

[starzonmyarmz]

no i cannot

[gharlan]

Hmm, but does the cookie file exist?
~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/de.gh01.alfred.github/cookies

[starzonmyarmz]

Yes it does exist

[gharlan]

Hmm, I suppose you can see an active session for alfred-github-workflow here: https://github.com/settings/security?

And I suppose the result of this command contains your starred repos?

curl -b ~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred\ 2/Workflow\ Data/de.gh01.alfred.github/cookies https://github.com/command_bar/repos

[starzonmyarmz]

The only active activity regarding the workflow is user.two_factor_requested:

and that curl command returns an empty json object:

{"results":[]}

[gharlan]

Oh ok, so you don't see this in the section above?

If you just type gh (with trailing space) in Alfred, do you see your starred repos?

[starzonmyarmz]

No I do not see a session for alfred-github-workflow and when I type gh (with a trailing space) I see this:

[gharlan]

Oh ok, so the login failed, but for any reason the workflow thinks it succeeded..

Do you use 2FA by SMS or app? Did the workflow show the input for the security code?

[starzonmyarmz]

I got it working! I'm using 2FA with the app (Google Authenticator iPhone app), but until your last comment I totally forgot about that app. It is showing the input for the security code. I was using one of the several codes in the text file that Github provides as a backup. Seems like those should work too since they're backup codes, but that's probably Github's issue more so than yours.

Thanks for taking the time to help me!

@starzonmyarmz Thanks for your feedback! I improved the login check, so it should not happen again, that the workflow says the login succeeded while in fact it failed.
