Can't share script using Script Lab

I'm playing with Script Lab in Excel 2016.

This is great stuff!

However, when trying to share a snippet in GitHub, after loggin in from the task pane, the Authorize button is disabled. Why is this happening?

See the screenshot below.

Solution

  • thanks for trying out Script Lab! Due to a recent change on GitHub's side, there is an issue that impacts some [though not all] users when they try to log in on Windows Desktop (which uses IE11 to host the add-in).

    We are actively working on a fix, tracked by https://github.com/OfficeDev/script-lab/issues/248. I expect it to be finished and in production in a few weeks.

    In the meantime, one workaround is for you to go to https://script-lab.azureedge.net/ from a non-IE browser and click "sign in" there. Once you've signed in, close the browser, and try signing in from within Office again. It should bypass this page and succeed.
