Hi there 👋

I got stucked during configuration process. I was basically copy-pasting the documentation, but it took me about 2 hours to pass the whitelisting tui's url.
What I've noted is:

when I clicked the generated url to open it in the browser it was it was incomplete in the browsers tab, like cut in half. This was seen on Visual Studio Code integrated terminal on Mac OS 10.15, fixed when I've switched to different terminal emulator (iTerm2) it worked fine
other API data (client_id, client_secret) was fine
generated callback url contains the redirect_uri parameter pointing to http://localhost:8888

Solved by whitelisting both http://localhost:8888 and http://localhost:8888/, worked as a charm.

Hope it saves some of your time, gl

tui installed via brew on OSX 10.15.7

Same issue here. When you say 'whitelist' – are you just adding them to /etc/hosts/?

@benfrain you have to whitelist it on the Spotify WebAPI side:

log into https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications
Create an App or pick existing
Click Edit Settings button and find Redirect URIs
Add whitelisted URIs below

I had my http://"IP address":8888 instead of http://localhost:8888 🤦
