CLI Command
sentry-cli --url https:// login --auth-token [REDACTED]
Exact Reproduction Steps
- Use macOS device with sentry-cli version 2.46.0 installed.
- Ensure
.sentryclircfile with the following contents exists at/Users/<REDACTED_USER>/.sentryclirc:
[defaults]
url = https://<REDACTED_DOMAIN>
[log]
level = trace- Execute the following command (replace
<REDACTED_TOKEN>with a valid token):
sentry-cli --url https://<REDACTED_DOMAIN> login --auth-token <REDACTED_TOKEN>- Observe the output error.
- Repeat the same command on Windows or Ubuntu machines with the same token and verify it succeeds.
- Optionally, disconnect internet on macOS device and rerun the command to observe error behavior.
Expected Results
- The sentry-cli login command should successfully authenticate against the self-hosted Sentry server (https://<REDACTED_DOMAIN>) on macOS.
- The command should complete without errors and confirm a successful login.
- The same command and token should work consistently across all operating systems (macOS, Windows, Ubuntu).
- When internet is disconnected, the command should fail with a network-related error or retry, but should not immediately return an “Invalid token” error.
Actual Results
1.On macOS, running sentry-cli login with a valid token returns:
error: Invalid token: API request failed2.The error occurs regardless of internet connection status (both connected and disconnected).
3.The same token and command succeed without issue on Windows and Ubuntu.
4.Logs show the command attempts the request, but fails locally with “Invalid token” without proper network validation.

This helps you signing in your sentry-cli with an authentication token.
If you do not yet have a token ready we can bring up a browser for you
to create a token now.
