Description
First try:
$ travis login --pro --github-token=...
not logged in - try running travis login --pro
I eventually found the --debug option which told me this might be a permissions issue:
$ travis login --pro --debug --github-token=...
** Loading "/home/username/.travis/config.yml"
** Timeout::Error: execution expired
** Loading gh
** GET "config"
** took 0.54 seconds
** GitHub API: GET /user?per_page=100
** took 0.5 seconds
** POST "auth/github" {:github_token=>"..."}
** took 0.25 seconds
** GET "https://travis-ci.com/insufficient_oauth_permissions#existing-user"
** took 0.52 seconds
** GET "users/"
** took 0.11 seconds
not logged in - try running travis login --pro
I then found https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/github-oauth-scopes#travis-ci-for-open-source-projects which is incorrect for this case (using a token with the required permissions granted does not work, yields the same error). This may be because my projects are on travis-ci.com, but that documentation mentions travis-ci.org.
Finally, using a GitHub token with all scopes enabled works, but this shouldn't be necessary!
Please improve these error messages and document what scopes/permissions are actually needed to make the travis CLI tool work...
