Hi!

I am trying to use copilot in WSL2 with Neovim and https://github.com/zbirenbaum/copilot.lua. I have this exact setup (same config) on a 2019 Macbook Pro and a Fedora 41 laptop, they are on the same network and work fine.

I am able to interact with github, using ssh keys I check out and commit code.

I go to the page and enter the code, it just sits there and never completes. The same operation on the Linux laptop or the Macbook Pro work in seconds.

Is there something I can do?

Thanks.

To clarify "sits there and never completes": The operation on the website completes, the window in neovim never closes.

in :messages there is

Copilot auth is the process I am trying to do.

Trying the same thing on non-WSL2 setups (linux, osx) completes on the website and the window in neovim disappears in a couple seconds. I am able to interact with copilot on those systems afterwards.

I am unclear how to troubleshoot this further.

Thanks,
D

Ok, it managed to auth. Not sure what changed.
