localhost refusing to connect when signing in

[dddictionary]

I get a pop up saying I need to sign in, click the pop up to a local host website, but that local website is not loading. Chrome is telling me that localhost refuses to connect. Any solutions?

Reloaded vscode, closed the spotify app. I am running WSL 2 on windows 10. Ubuntu 20.04

I am also checking my spotify connected apps under my account and it tells me that vscode spotify is already connected.

Try ending debug mode then log in from vscode where you're doing the actual dev work instead of the extension development host. Once you're redirected you can run f5 then you should be logged in on the extension development mode side.

I was having this same issue when I tried to login running WSL 2 on Windows 10.

I solved this by replacing localhost with the Ubuntu IP in the WSL in the URL that the error was happening.

Before: http://localhost:8350/callback?access_token=xxx
After: http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8350/callback?access_token=xxx

I got the IP by running the command hostname -I or ip addr | grep eth0
