Question

Body

I'm just getting started with the VS Code Copilot extension. I've got a fresh installation of VS Code and the pre-release Github Copilot (v1.111.416). This is on a x86 Mac with MacOS Monterey (12.6).

I can login to github and Copilot will offer code suggestions, so I think that's working. However, if I quit and restart VS Code, I always need to login to github again to renable Copilot.

Is this the expected behavior?

Possibly related: I noticed that when I login to github via the usual brower-app dance, I always see a notification "An OS keyring couldn't be identified for storing the encryption related data in your current desktop environment"

When I enable VS Code logging via

code-insiders --verbose --vmodule="/components/os_crypt/=1"

I see the following:

Hi @robyu, first of all, let me welcome you to GitHub Community 👋

With regards to the issue which you are currently facing (i.e. Copilot extension logging out), unfortunately this seems to be a commonly experienced issue amongst developers using various IDEs. See Reference 1 for more information.

Perhaps one potential way to combat this issue would be to use a different version of VSCode Copilot extension? See Reference 2 below for more information.

Reference 3 might provide a potential solution by a Reddit user who previously encountered a similar issue.

Hope this information helps, take care and have a good day ahead 😊

Thanks, Melvin!

A follow up to your comment about Copilot versions: I'm currently using a prerelease version. I actually tried the release version of the extension, and got a similar result. However, whereas the prerelease version complained about "sealed accessors," the release version's messages mentioned keytar. I assume this has something to do with SecretStorage Api now uses Electron API over keytar.
