[BUG] Timeout in the GraphQL API in private organizations (many repositories, with SSO enabled)

[wnqueiroz]

Describe the bug

Hello Folks!

I installed the extension (without doing much configuration) and when running the gh dash command I get the following error message:

Post "https://api.github.com/graphql": dial tcp: lookup api.github.com: i/o timeout

Analyzing the source, I found no way to configure authentication settings for the GraphQL API...

Looking at the library that is used to access the GitHub API (https://github.com/cli/shurcooL-graphql), there is a setting to define the API access token (in the GRAPHQL_TOKEN environment environment variable) but I believe that it is not used throughout the project and no GraphQL client is created...

Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone else have this problem?

To Reproduce

I don't know how to best describe my environment, but here it is:

• Private organization (with private repositories);
• SSO enabled.

I'm just running the gh dash command from a private project and getting the timeout...

💡 The organization has more than 3k repositories... I don't know if the timeout problem is related to the actual authentication or just due to a large data fetch.

Expected behavior

Be able to view the dashboard by accessing private organization data (which uses SSO as authorization).

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOSX Ventura 13.0.1

Hello!

Maybe you need to run gh auth login

Hello!

Maybe you need to run gh auth login

@dlvhdr I thought it was something with the gh CLI authentication but I'm already authenticated...

I have 2 signs of what might be going on:

• Authentication required by GitHub's GraphQL server (as it is a private organization); or
• Timeout by the amount of repositories in the organization (as I mentioned, it's +3k 😅)

This second case is more difficult to reproduce... Does it make sense for you? If it's in the way, I'll try to implement something to solve the problem.

I'm having the same issue. Did you find a solution?

In order to cast a bit more light, I've run gh dash on public repositories and my company's organisation (21 repos) with no luck. I always get the same message no matter what repository I try.

In addition to this, when I run gh pr list I am presented with the list of PRs (which means that I'm correctly logged in and authorised to access those repositories).

In my case, however, the message is:

Post "https://api.github.com/graphql": dial tcp: lookup api.github.com on [::1]:53: read udp [::1]:45726->[::1]:53: read: connection refused

[dlvhdr]

Hmm gh-dash uses the official go client gh.DefaultGraphQLClient() from github.com/cli/go-gh/v2/pkg/api. Maybe it's a matter of updating the package?

[carlosV2]

Hi @dlvhdr, thanks for reaching out.

I installed both components today (fresh new Arch install):

~ ❯ gh --version     
gh version 2.50.0 (2024-05-29)
https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.50.0
~ ❯ gh extension list
NAME     REPO            VERSION
gh dash  dlvhdr/gh-dash  v4.0.0

I believe both of them are the latest version.

I tried it again now (after a reboot -just in case-) and I got the same result with a bit more information (although it doesn't seem to me to be more useful):

Any idea of what I could try? Many thanks.

[dlvhdr]

I think we will need to update the go module to the latest version https://github.com/cli/go-gh of 2.9.0 using go get

[carlosV2]

Apologies, I'm not that versed in the go world. I attempted running that command both alone and inside of gh but to not avail.

Please, could you let me know how could I run it? Thank you.

[dlvhdr]

@carlosV2 I updated the library, can you test with the latest version?

[carlosV2]

Hi @dlvhdr. Many thanks for the upgrade.

I believe gh extension install can only install releases or branch tags so I should do a manual install, right?

I've removed the extension and proceed with the manual installation instructions on the README but, when I run go build (after installing the go package), this is the output I get:

Some of those lines look an awful lot like the one I was getting inside gh dash.

As it seems to be network related, I tried to grab one of the failed links and pasted it in the browser and it successfully downloaded the file. I've also run the go build command from a different network (mobile 4G instead of WiFi) but got the same result.

Nevertheless, I tried to continue with the manual installation but (un)surprisingly, it fails to run gh dash.

Like I said, I'm not into the go world. Do you think there is something I am doing wrong?

Many thanks for all your help!

[carlosV2]

Here is another insight:

Not sure why, it just occurred to me that it could be a permissions issue so I've run Arch within docker and, surprise!, it seems to work.
I've also taken the opportunity to run the manual install in this root environment and the go build command also worked flawlessly.

Granted the difference could be on the gh login mechanism (I haven't used the same) so I re-logged in in my local machine using the same authentication method and parameters but I still can't get it working which means that the only difference with the docker environment was the root permissions.

Does any of this make any sense?
