fix(cli): remove defaulting to keyring when --global-config set (cherry-pick) - #20953
Merged
Conversation
This fixes a regression that caused the VS code extension to be unable to authenticate after making keyring usage on by default. This is because the VS code extension assumes the CLI will always use the session token stored on disk, specifically in the directory specified by --global-config. This fix makes keyring usage enabled when the --global-config directory is not set. This is a bit wonky but necessary to allow the extension to continue working without modification and without backwards compat concerns. In the future we should modify these extensions to either access the credential in the keyring (like Coder Desktop) or some other approach that doesn't rely on the session token being stored on disk. Tests: `coder login dev.coder.com` -> token stored in keyring `coder login --global-config=/tmp/ dev.coder.com` -> token stored in `/tmp/session` (cherry picked from commit bbf7b13)
