grammarly: Grammarly login shows an error

I am following the instructions to log into Grammarly on VSCode but I am getting this error (Linux, Ubuntu 20.04)

Request $/handleOAuthCallbackUri failed with message: Minified error #8: See https://developer.grammarly.com/docs/error-explainer…

Grammarly account or premium

Run grammarly.login or Grammarly: Login / Connect your account command to connect your Grammarly account.
Run grammarly.logout or Grammarly: Log out to disconnect your account.

I ran grammarly.login then I was redirected to the Grammarly login page and then I clicked on the “Continue” button and then this error showed up in my VSCode.

It looks like Grammarly has updated its APIs. I suspect this causes the login error.

One of the changes is

The oauth option is now specified at the top level as oauthRedirectUri.

Same here.

I switched to the pre-release version and now it works.

Tried pre-release. No error this time but still not logged in.

Not sure if anyone is working on this, but I made a branch with a possible implementation for updating Grammarly SDK to 2.x in hopes of solving this issue and possibly others.

With the pre-release version, I get the following error when I shift+p - Check Text

Ready!

I cannot login and cannot check text. This happens on a fresh copy of VSCode with only this extension installed.

Linking a useful workaround found by @crmelchior in a different (duplicate?) issue:

https://github.com/znck/grammarly/issues/350#issuecomment-1483848906

After switching to 0.18.0, successfully logging in and switching back to release (0.22.1) version, I’m still logged in and everything seems to work fine.

Same problem here. When I open the URL from the error reported by the VS Code Extension, Grammarly website shows this:

Invalid oauth callback url: vscode://znck.grammarly/auth/callback?windowId=1
