Hey there.

I can’t reproduce this on my side. What OS/Browser are you using (and what versions)? Does it happen in another browser?

3

i have tried in different browsers and results are the same. am running sonarQube on ubuntu 22.

Perhaps you can take a screen recording to make it clear where the issue is?

sonar.zip (4.0 MB)
here is a short clip. created 3 different users including including Admin. but anytime i hit Generate token.the token flashes and am not able to copy

Thanks @rbonti. I still can’t reproduce this (and don’t have a Linux machine ready-to-go). I’ll tag this for some experts.

In the meantime, are you able to generate tokens (and get the value) by going to My Account (clicking your avatar in the upper right?

Let’s keep this topic focused on tokens – I suggest you make a new topic (and please provide the log text, not screenshots)

Hello everyone,

Thank you for reaching out and for the screen recording. It helped a lot.
I can confirm that we have a bug for this token modal. It is not reproducible in fast network connections, that’s why not everyone faces it.
However, the fix for that is done and will be released in SonarQube 10.2.

Meanwhile, I see two workarounds here -

  1. The solution that @Colin proposed - generate token from My Account / Security.
  2. Direct API call to api/user_tokens/generate. The details of this call can be found in Help ((?) icon near your avatar at the top right corner) / Web API

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
Viktor
