Login cancelled

Error message

Login cancelled

What it means

loginGitHubCopilot prompts interactively for an optional GitHub Enterprise URL/domain. If the user aborts the operation (via options.signal) after/while the enterprise-domain prompt is shown, the function throws this sentinel Error to signal a deliberate, user-initiated cancellation rather than a failure. Callers (loginPromise/login) treat it as an expected cancellation path.

Solutions

1. Re-run login() and complete (or leave blank) the enterprise-domain prompt without aborting
2. If cancellation was accidental, check any wrappers/scripts that abort the signal (timeouts, Ctrl-C forwarding) during the prompt
3. Handle this error distinctly in your catch block and treat it as a no-op cancellation, not a failure to report

Example fix

// before
await login('github-copilot').catch(err => { throw err; });
// after
try {
  await login('github-copilot');
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof Error && err.message === 'Login cancelled') return; // expected user cancel
  throw err;
}

// Abort only intentionally; check before starting login
if (options.signal?.aborted) {
  return; // skip login entirely instead of entering the prompt flow
}

function isLoginCancelled(err: unknown): boolean {
  return err instanceof Error && err.message === 'Login cancelled';
}

try {
  await login('github-copilot', { signal });
} catch (err) {
  if (isLoginCancelled(err)) return; // user-initiated, not a failure
  throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling login() for the GitHub Copilot provider and aborting the supplied AbortSignal (or pressing Ctrl-C/Escape in the interactive prompt flow) while the 'GitHub Enterprise URL/domain' prompt is pending or immediately after it returns, before device login starts.

Common situations: Users cancel the CLI login flow; a timeout or wrapper script aborts the signal while waiting for stdin input; an embedding app cancels a login promise that is blocked on the interactive prompt.
