Auth via ~/.gist-vim not working

[mklopets]

I'd been successfully using this for years, but some unknown time ago, the plugin's auth stopped working for me (possibly after a fresh install).

• if I create a ~/.gist-vim file containing token XXXXX, I get Post failed: (with no error message after the colon)
• if I do let g:gist_token = "XXXXX" (XXXXX being identical), everything does work as expected

The password flow doesn't trigger for me at all, even after reinstalling and deleting ~/.gist-vim

~/.gist-vim file has all the permissions I could give it. On macOS Big Sur.

I have the same issue, maybe is because Github change the token format? ghp_xxx. But the same, with let works fine, but for now all time you need set it at the start vim session. The config file don't work

[installero]

After removing ~/.gist-vim file trying to post a gist brings a prompt to enter my password:

Gist.vim requires authorization to use the GitHub API. These settings are stored in "~/.gist-vim". If you want to revoke, do "rm ~/.gist-vim".
GitHub Password for installero:

After entering my password I got Not Found message.

Same think here.

I've solved by this:

• go to Settings/Developer settings/Personal access tokens in your github profile and create one with only gists access
• create ~/.gist-vim
• paste into created file token <my newly created token>
  And auth on Gist commands just works.

This gives me a Post failed: error

me too. I have Bad credentials error. The only way for me it is enter to vim, and then enter:

:let g:gist_token = 'ghp_xxxDSDJSLDKSLClsldadlasdajk'

it should works with just put ~/.gist-vim. If you still have an issue, please generate new token again.

[hpsaturn]

But it is a new token, Github forced me to renew it. On other hand the token is valid, because Gist works fine but only when I put it in execution, when I put it in the hidden file it doesn't works. When I remove the hidden file, Gist doesn't start the authentication flow.

Keyword token leading a line is missing?
