Oauth2 timeout waiting for callback

[eavilaes]

I've setup my app like this:

xurl auth apps add myApp --client-id <client_id> --client-secret <client_secret>

I made sure that the callback URI is set to http://localhost:8080/callback, and I also set some other fields in the X Developers portal (I don't know if that's relevant).
Also note that I'm running xurl on a VPS, if that helps.

This is my ~/.xurl:

apps:
    default:
        client_id: <client_id>
        client_secret: <client_secret>
    myApp:
        client_id: <client_id>
        client_secret: <client_secret>

default_app: myApp

And I'm getting this error when running xurl auth oauth2:

Error in OAuth listener: Auth Error: Timeout (cause: timeout waiting for callback)
OAuth2 authentication failed: Auth Error: Timeout (cause: authentication timed out)

@eavilaes I had this problem too. It turns out if you SSH into a machine and try to run xurl auth oauth2 you actually need to go onto that machine and you may see an open web browser with an X.com oauth2 authorization tab open.

When I went onto the machine I was connecting to via SSH, I saw that an instance of google chrome open with 6 tabs because I ran the command 6 times. Once I clicked "authorize app" in the browser my SSH terminal finally responded with "OAuth2 authentication successful!"

Hope that helps.
