Internal server error while launching dev environment first time

Hello,

This is my very first attempt to use okteto. I am trying to launch a dev environment using web:

I am getting the same error while using okteto cli on my local computer.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks a lot.

Hi @dmitrii.erkin !

What’s your output when running okteto context from the CLI? Are you using cloud.okteto.com?

Hi @AgustinRamiroDiaz

The output is:

$ okteto context
 !  Initializing context with the value of OKTETO_TOKEN environment variable
 x  Internal server error, please try again

I downloaded config.json from https://cloud.okteto.com/ and saved it into /.okteto/context

@dmitrii.erkin there seems to be something going on with the OKTETO_TOKEN envvar

Since it’s a sensitive value, please check if the value of the OKTETO_TOKEN envvar from your shell matches with the "token" field (contexts["https://cloud.okteto.com"].token would be in JSON notation) from the config.json you’ve downloaded?

In summary, echo ${OKTETO_TOKEN} should be the same as the token defined in the config.json. If not, you should check if there’s something setting that envvar in your PC

Hi @AgustinRamiroDiaz

Now I can deploy the movies-with-compose app from my okteto web account, but it still fails when I am using okteto cli.
It keeps saying “Your token is invalid. Generating a new one…” despite I am pretty sure I copied the token from the json file:

okteto up
! Initializing context with the value of OKTETO_TOKEN environment variable
x Your token is invalid. Please run ‘okteto context use https://cloud.okteto.com’ and try again

okteto context use results in " ✓ Using context dmitrii-erkin @ cloud.okteto.com
" but then okteto up fails again

Hi @dmitrii.erkin

I’ll try to reproduce. In the meantime, could you try out unsetting the envvar by running unset OKTETO_TOKEN?
