Unable to authorize org due to Salesforce CLI extension issue

[bmathew83]

Issue Type: Bug

Even after reinstallation of the Extension Pack, it is not working like earlier.

1. Ctrl + Shift + P to SFDX:Authorize an Org
2. Select test.salesforce.com Sandbox
3. Type Name of Org and Enter.
4. A browser window should pop-up for user to sign in to desired org BUT this is not happening.

Hi @bmathew83 - Have you installed the sfdx CLI in addition to the VS Code extension pack? Under the hood, we use the CLI to execute some of the commands. (including the Authorize an Org command). If you haven't installed it, you can find the instructions here: https://developer.salesforce.com/tools/vscode/en/getting-started/install/#salesforce-cli

If you have the CLI installed, please respond with the CLI version number and paste the full contents of the output panel from VS Code after executing the Authorize command.

[bmathew83]

Yes. I have CLI installed. The CLI Version number is v52.7.0 (see screenshot) [image: image.png] 2. Please see below screenshots for the error messages while trying to authorize an org. [image: image.png] [image: image.png] [image: image.png] [image: image.png]

Hi @bmathew83 - Unfortunately none of the screenshots came through to GitHub, so I can't see the details. Can you check out this CLI issue and workaround to see if it resolves your issue?

I'm not sure if that is the root cause since I can't see the screenshots. If the CLI issue & workaround I linked doesn't resolve it, can you retry to paste the follow-up info we can try to diagnose the problem?

@smaddox-sf - Thanks for sending the link forcedotcom/cli#1104 (comment) to try and solve the above issue. I'm looking into this whether it will solve the main issue.

But I've uploaded some images I sent as reply via email I sent back in Aug 2021. **since you mentioned you weren't able to see them in Github. But I hope you can help me solve this. Thank you.

[bmathew83]

@smaddox-sf - Just following up on this issue which is still not resolved. The link you provided is not the same issue as I encounter here.
@github-actions - Since its old issue, could someone else help, if @smaddox-sf is not available?

[AnanyaJha]

Hi @bmathew83 thanks for following up on this one! Are you still running into this issue with the latest version of our extensions (v53.4.2) ?

[bmathew83]

Hi @AnanyaJha - Thanks for the speedy reply. I'll check if the latest version of extension is being used on my system and confirm back to you shortly.

[bmathew83]

@AnanyaJha - Yes and still running into this issue with the latest version of the CLI extension (v53.4.2) .

[bmathew83]

@AnanyaJha

[bmathew83]

@AnanyaJha - Good afternoon ! just following up on this. I'm still running into this issue with the latest version of the CLI extension (v53.4.2) . Could you please help?

[randi274]

Hi @bmathew83, sorry you're still working with this! Can you run sfdx version --verbose --json and send us the results? Also, are you able to run this command without error in the terminal, from the root of your project directory? sfdx force:auth:web:login --setalias testOrgName --instanceurl https://test.salesforce.com --setdefaultusername

[bmathew83]

Hi @randi274 - This is the result which I get when running the first command you asked. see below screenshot.

This is the result which I get when running the second command you asked. see below screenshot.

[randi274]

@bmathew83 thanks for sharing! It looks like you're having some issues with setting up the Salesforce CLI. Can you install the Salesforce CLI (instructions here) and try the command again? If you already have the CLI installed, you may just need to update your PATH variable (setting PATH=~/sfdx/bin:$PATH in your ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, or ~/.zshrc) The CLI is still a requirement for the VS Code Salesforce Extensions for now, though we're working to remove that requirement soon.

[bmathew83]

Hi @randi274 - Thanks for your patience and support towards this.
I installed Salesforce CLI from the link you sent me. (see links and screenshots below)

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_setup.meta/sfdx_setup/sfdx_setup_install_cli.htm#sfdx_setup_install_cli_windows

From there I went to https://developer.salesforce.com/tools/sfdxcli

Here's my system variable Path setup under Environment variables:-

and here's the user variables setup under Environment variables:-

BUT, I'm still unsuccessful in running those commands as you advised. I get the same error where it says "The system cannot find the path specified".

I'm not familiar with ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, or ~/.zshrc. Could you please send step by step directions to updating the path?

Thank you so much

[randi274]

That's all looking pretty good! Have you done a hard refresh of VS Code since updating the variables? If that variable is available in the Systems Variable section, that looks to be the right setup. When you run echo %Path%, that path should be included, as shown here.

[bmathew83]

@randi274 - Thanks for confirmation of environment variables.

I checked the link you sent in previous message and followed one of the users' (named vanessen) comments (the last comment) where two folders to the path were conflicting. I deleted the previous folder named C:\Program Files\Salesforce\CLI\bin but running those commands sfdx version --verbose --json didn't work.

The echo %Path% command also shows the following result(see screenshot).

[bmathew83]

@randi274 - Subsequently, trying to authorize an org gives this error now.

FYI- Also, there was another error in bottom right of VS Code regarding the JDK not compatible (current zulu 16), so I downgraded to zulu 11). It mentioned that this was affecting the extensions.

[bmathew83]

@randi274 - Not sure if this is related but still putting it out there.

[bmathew83]

I fixed this issue only by formatting the laptop. Installed VS Code again and all the steps mentioned in here (https://developer.salesforce.com/tools/vscode/en/getting-started/install#salesforce-cli). Working fine now. Please close this ticket.

[AnanyaJha]

Glad you were able to resolve this issue @bmathew83! Closing ticket now

Did you resolve this? I'm facing the same issue

[klewis-sfdc]

Hi @dee1110, can you let us know what version of the extensions you have installed?

[dee1110]

@klewis-sfdc
of all the extensions on vs code? Pls be more specific. Salesforce CLI Integration v56.16.0
All extensions are the most recent versions

[klewis-sfdc]

Great, thank you. Can you also verify which version of the sfdx cli you have installed? You should be able to run sfdx --version and see an output something like you see at the top of this page.

[dee1110]

It never picks up the CLI installed on my laptop although I have

@klewis-sfdc Also I appreciate your responses helping me get my vs code up and running. it's been several weeks trying to figure out what's wrong. i'm not a developer so I appreciate your assistance

[klewis-sfdc]

@dee1110 It looks like sfdx might not be in your PATH, which tells your computer how to find it. Can you try following the instructions here to add sfdx to your PATH and see if that resolves your issue?

[dee1110]

trying rn. @klewis-sfdc

[dee1110]

@klewis-sfdc VS Code FINALYYYYYYYY recognizes my sfdx. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[klewis-sfdc]

Glad its working for you now, @dee1110. Happy to help.

[dee1110]

Hello @klewis-sfdc
I'm struggling with using vscode for deployments and unfortunately there's no much resources online. Is it possible to get a walkthrough?

[dee1110]

Hello @klewis-sfdc I was wondering if you could please help me out with this error

[klewis-sfdc]

Hi @dee1110,
This link should help you to set a default username and email in git: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/setting-your-username-in-git

And here is a link to our documentation that includes details about the different development models and how to deploy/retrieve metadata using VSCE's deploy*/retrieve*/push*/pull* commands: https://developer.salesforce.com/tools/vscode/en/apex/writing

I'm going to close this issue. If you have any specific additional questions please open a new issue.

@parami1998 if you are still seeing the issue will you also please create a new issue with your specific repo steps? Thank you!
