Summary

Enhance authentication error messages by including direct URLs to provider API token pages in the remediation steps.

When users encounter authentication failures, they now see the exact URL where they can get a new API token, reducing friction and eliminating the need to search for the provider's token page.

Changes

  • _validate_token_with_provider(): Added help_url parameter (optional) to display provider dashboard URL in error messages
  • _validate_multi_credentials(): Updated to include help_url in credential validation errors
  • ensure_api_token_with_provider(): Modified to pass help_url to the validation function

Before

ERROR: Authentication failed: Invalid Hetzner API token
The token may be expired, revoked, or incorrectly copied.
How to fix:
1. Re-run the command to enter a new token
2. Or set it directly: HCLOUD_TOKEN=your-token spawn ...

After

ERROR: Authentication failed: Invalid Hetzner API token
The token may be expired, revoked, or incorrectly copied.
How to fix:
1. Get a new token from: https://console.hetzner.cloud/projects
2. Re-run the command and paste the new token
3. Or set it directly: HCLOUD_TOKEN=your-token spawn ...

Impact

  • User experience: Significantly reduces time to resolve authentication issues
  • Backwards compatible: help_url parameter is optional; existing calls without it still work
  • Consistent messaging: All cloud providers using ensure_api_token_with_provider() automatically benefit

Testing

  • ✅ Syntax check: bash -n shared/common.sh passes
  • ✅ Maintains existing error flow for providers without help_url
  • ✅ No breaking changes to function signatures (help_url is optional)

Security Review

Verdict: APPROVED

Findings

  • [LOW] shared/common.sh:2218 — _multi_creds_validate() references ${help_url} via bash dynamic scoping from the caller (ensure_multi_credentials) rather than receiving it as a parameter. Functional but fragile; consider passing it explicitly in a follow-up.

Tests

  • bash -n: PASS, bun test: N/A, curl|bash: OK, macOS compat: OK

Summary
Enhance authentication error messages by including direct URLs to provider API token pages in the remediation steps.
When users encounter authentication failures, they now see the exact URL where they can get a new API token, reducing friction and eliminating the need to search for the provider's token page.
Changes
  • _validate_token_with_provider(): Added help_url parameter (optional) to display provider dashboard URL in error messages
  • _validate_multi_credentials(): Updated to include help_url in credential validation errors
  • ensure_api_token_with_provider(): Modified to pass help_url to the validation function
Before
ERROR: Authentication failed: Invalid Hetzner API token
The token may be expired, revoked, or incorrectly copied.
How to fix:
1. Re-run the command to enter a new token
2. Or set it directly: HCLOUD_TOKEN=your-token spawn ...

After
ERROR: Authentication failed: Invalid Hetzner API token
The token may be expired, revoked, or incorrectly copied.
How to fix:
1. Get a new token from: https://console.hetzner.cloud/projects
2. Re-run the command and paste the new token
3. Or set it directly: HCLOUD_TOKEN=your-token spawn ...

Impact
  • User experience: Significantly reduces time to resolve authentication issues
  • Backwards compatible: help_url parameter is optional; existing calls without it still work
  • Consistent messaging: All cloud providers using ensure_api_token_with_provider() automatically benefit
Testing
  • ✅ Syntax check: bash -n shared/common.sh passes
  • ✅ Maintains existing error flow for providers without help_url
  • ✅ No breaking changes to function signatures (help_url is optional)

ux: improve auth error messages with provider URLs
d18d794
Agent: ux-engineer
Enhance error messages when authentication fails by including direct
URLs to the provider's API token page in the remediation steps.
Changes:
- Updated _validate_token_with_provider() to accept help_url parameter
- Updated _validate_multi_credentials() to include help_url in errors
- Modified ensure_api_token_with_provider() to pass help_url to validator
Users now see the provider dashboard URL immediately when auth fails,
reducing friction and eliminating the need to search for token pages.
Before:
1. Re-run the command to enter a new token
2. Or set it directly: HCLOUD_TOKEN=your-token spawn ...
After:
1. Get a new token from: https://console.hetzner.cloud/projects
2. Re-run the command and paste the new token
3. Or set it directly: HCLOUD_TOKEN=your-token spawn ...

Security Review
Verdict: APPROVED
Findings
  • [LOW] shared/common.sh:2218 — _multi_creds_validate() references ${help_url} via bash dynamic scoping from the caller (ensure_multi_credentials) rather than receiving it as a parameter. Functional but fragile; consider passing it explicitly in a follow-up.
Tests
  • bash -n: PASS, bun test: N/A, curl|bash: OK, macOS compat: OK
