Hi all 👋 and sorry for the delay in fixing this. CLI version 3.8.0 address this issue. Please comment if you’re still experiencing issues after running:

npm i -g netlify-cli
netlify lm:setup

Hey everyone

Found a workaround that worked for me on Mac.

added NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN as and environment variable to terminal
since I was having issues with npm, I ran it in yarn yarn add @netlify/cli-utils@latest in ~/.local/share/netlify-cli
after that, navigated back to the already linked folder and ran netlify lm:setup and it FINALLY worked.

I suspect for me is because I am behind some versions on npm maybe since running npm i -g netlify-cli@latest resulted in some npm warnings.

Hope it helps some of you.

I believe some people have reported using an auth token copied from the web UI resolved the issue for them:

https://docs.netlify.com/cli/get-started/#obtain-a-token-in-the-netlify-ui

Hey @overlordofmu, could you expand on this? Setting this env var does not make any difference for me:

$ NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN=my_auth_token netlify lm:setup

Is this what I should be doing, or is the workaround different somehow?

It is only a workaround but it does get some people “working” again while a fix in the CLI tool is being developed.

overlordofmu on Feb 5, 2021

We’ve been able to reproduce the issue and we’re working on a fix as we speak. We’ll update this issue as soon as it’s fixed.

Thanks for your patience and for the detailed information! 🙌🏻

I’m seeing exactly the same problem on Ubuntu 20.04.
