fiatux commented Dec 12, 2014

During composer update I am asked for my github credentials repeatedly. What may be causing this?

An existing OAuth token for Composer is present and will be reused

Could not fetch https://api.github.com/authorizations , enter your GitHub credentials to go over the API rate limit
The credentials will be swapped for an OAuth token stored in /Users/[USER]/.composer/auth.json, your password will not be stored
To revoke access to this token you can visit https://github.com/settings/applications

Yes, I am entering my password correct, I have tried several different accounts and I can get authorization from Github if I use curl from cmdline.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Not really, solved it by creating new token and adding it to the project's composer.json. I'm not sure why the valid token on /Users/[USER]/.composer/auth.json could not be used.

I'm not sure why the valid token on /Users/[USER]/.composer/auth.json could not be used.

Maybe due to current user or COMPOSER_HOME environment variable at the time of the composer install being different of the expected?
I think I stumbled to something like that before.

Could someone post the format of how to do this? I'm experiencing a similar problem and wish to solve it manually for the moment

You can solve it by creating a new github token to authenticate your composer requests.
You can do this two ways:

By defining your token globally:

composer config --global github-oauth.github.com TOKEN

Or by defining your token in a project composer.json:

{ "config" : { "github-oauth" : { "github.com" : " TOKEN " } } }

The global Token config does not work (as mentiod in Post 3):

C:\Users\robin.kluth composer diag Checking platform settings: OK Checking git settings: OK Checking http connectivity: OK Checking HTTP proxy: OK Checking HTTP proxy support for request_fulluri: OK Checking HTTPS proxy support for request_fulluri: Could not fetch https://api.github.com/repos/Seldaek/jsonlint/zipball/1.0.0, ent er your GitHub credentials to go over the API rate limit The credentials will be swapped for an OAuth token stored in C:/Users/robin.klut h/AppData/Roaming/Composer/auth.json, your password will not be stored To revoke access to this token you can visit https://github.com/settings/applica tions Username:

while in %appdata%\Composer\auth.json:

{ "http-basic": {}, "github-oauth": { "github.com": "my_token"} }

If I add the token to projects composer.json, it is working as expected.

This was referenced Jan 15, 2015 auth.json refers to "github.com" instead of "api.github.com" for authenticated api calls #3609 Closed Update to the new GitHub Authorizations API (breaking change) #3566 Closed Copy link

webdevilopers commented Jan 15, 2015

So the solution is to put the token into the composer.json directely instead of relying on the auth.json ?

Will this be solved as suggested in the latest issue #3566 @Seldaek ?

Because as Malcolm Fell @emarref mentions:
If you're working on a collaborative project, you should not commit your key in the project source control. The alternative is to set your key in your home directory

Hi,

I figured out, that the auto-generated token (via composer) ist not accepted. If I create the key via GitHub's WebUI and replace the old one in composer.json, it is working.

webdevilopers commented Jan 15, 2015

Have you tried that within the auth.json or config.json too?

midan888 commented Jan 21, 2015

I generated new token on Gtihub and pasted this in ocmposer json of the project and it worked, thanks to hugofonseca
{ "config": { "github-oauth": { "github.com": " TOKEN " } } }

Copy link

webdevilopers commented Jan 22, 2015

Ok, so the important point is that the token has to be added to the `composer.json' file.

The attempt with auth.son of Composer is no longer supported by the curernt GitHub API:

It looks like @Seldaek added a fix for the original issue by @fiatux :

Peter74 commented Jun 21, 2015

Hi I was face same problem.
Solution for me was:

composer config --global github-oauth.github.com TOKEN

thanks @fonsecas72
and as a result of it was writing token at auth.json :

{ "config": { "github-oauth": { "github.com": " TOKEN " } } }

but not in composer.json - that was just mistake in explanation, but if you run

composer config --global github-oauth.github.com TOKEN you will be OK. Copy link

Please see the line above the cmd, here you will find the url and visit this url and you will git the token and paste the token.

Is possible to remove auth token via composer config -g command? I mean something like composer config -g --unset repositories.foo but for auth.json .

Sure, I can remove by fe jg but build-in support in composer should be cool.

Seldaek commented Oct 21, 2016

This will do it for example: composer config --global --auth --unset github-oauth.github.com

alenux commented Oct 17, 2018

solution :
just add in composer.json

"config": {
"process-timeout": 1800,
"fxp-asset": {
"enabled": false
}
},

If you are facing Github token error then open composer.json file and paste below code

"github-oauth": {
"github.com": ""
}

into

"config": {
"preferred-install": "dist",
"sort-packages": true,
"optimize-autoloader": true,
"github-oauth": {
"github.com": ""
}
}

And then update composer

composer update

If you don't have Github token then first login to github.com and generate token and use ablove steps.

mijaelsaban commented Apr 8, 2021

The issue is that my token it has an underscore which is never valid according to this logic.

Which here it fails.

foreach ($githubOauth as $domain = $token) { if (!preg_match('{^[.a-z0-9]+$}', $token)) { throw new \UnexpectedValueException('Your github oauth token for '.$domain.' contains invalid characters: "'.$token.'"'); } $this- checkAndSetAuthentication($domain, $token, 'x-oauth-basic'); } Copy link Member

Seldaek commented Apr 9, 2021

@mijaelsaban make sure you update Composer to the latest version before reporting error, this was fixed last week.

b-hayes commented Jul 19, 2021

yeah, I ran into this on composer 2 as well . Have to manually update the token to the auth.json

This issue just appeared again, was using version 2.0.8 when it happened.

Updated composer using composer self-update to version 2.1.9 but the issue persisted.

Previously set token had expiry date of Sun, Dec 5 2021. Regenerating the token solved the issue.
