firebase init Hosting: GitHub Actions auth redirect fails in GitHub Codespace

[markgoho]

[REQUIRED] Environment info

firebase-tools: 9.23.0

Platform: Ubuntu in GitHub Codespaces

[REQUIRED] Test case

npx firebase init with GitHub actions option selected fails at the authorization step

[REQUIRED] Steps to reproduce

run npx firebase init from terminal in codespace, select Hosting: GitHub Actions option, redirect fails because it tries to return to localhost:9005 instead of the codespace url

[REQUIRED] Expected behavior

Authentication works even in a GitHub codespace

[REQUIRED] Actual behavior

Authentication fails

Thanks for reporting this, @markgoho! If a workaround is needed before this gets fixed, here are the docs for manually setting up the Github action

Appreciate that, I ended up just cloning the repo locally for the firebase init step, and then switched back to codespaces.

Anyone figured out how to do this yet?

[treeder]

There needs to be a --no-localhost flag on init like there is with firebase login --no-localhost

[markgoho]

closing this as there is now a --no-localhost option that allows for logging into environments without a localhost to redirect to.

@markgoho just tried this and it doesn't work:

$ firebase init --no-localhost
error: unknown option '--no-localhost'

firebase cli version 11.16.1

I'm having the same issue

[markgoho]

I think there might have been a regression as firebase init --no-localhost no longer works, and auth redirect fails once again in GitHub Codespaces
