500 on trying to connect github account

Exercism
1

I am getting a 500 when trying to connect github account from integrations page. I tried removing Exercism from authorized apps and repeating with no luck. Other details are probably in bugsnag

There’s nothing in our Bugsnag. This tends to 500 at a level before it gets to the actual application.

This is normally one of two things:

  1. You already have an Exercism account via GitHub. If you let me know your GH username, I’ll check.
  2. You don’t have a verified email address on GitHub (this is often the case for longstanding GitHub users that didn’t need to verify it when they signed up and so it’s remaining unverified since).

I assumed as the 500 page is from exercism.org

Shouldn’t be the case, but it is @toy

I have non verified emails on profile (previous work emails to connect contributions), but also several verified including the main one.

Yeah, there’s an account linked to this already from 2015. I can unlink that if you like, or you can use that instead of your new account?

Yeah, we’re raising the exception, but the exception is raised at a layer in the stack before we get to our application code, and before Bugsnag is loaded. Which always makes this frustrating to catch/deal with elegantly.

I wanted to check what is on that account, but after logging out, tried logging in using github and got a 422. Is it easy to see if there is something on that account? If it is empty, better to remove that one or at least please disconnect my github from it.

It’s basically empty, yeah. I’ve disconnected them.

Congrats on having probably the lowest GitHub user id I’ve seen btw - their ~18,000th user! :slight_smile:

Now integration quickly connected my account, thank you!
