error: Failed to read session cookie from "C:\Users\****\.adventofcode.session": stream did not contain valid UTF-8

Open 4mnestic opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

aoc-cli version 0.12.0 on Windows 11 using VSCodium. I created a "adventofcode.session" file in my \Roaming\ directory using echo "[session_cookie]" > [file] and then an ".adventofcode.session" file in my ~ directory using cp. I get a UTF-8 error when I run aoc. Any ideas? Let me know if I should include more environment/version information <3

Hi, I'm sorry you're having issues. Can you confirm this is still happening?

Can you confirm you replaced [session_cookie] with a valid session cookie, which is a long hex string (containing numbers and lower case 'a' to 'f').

Can you show the output with the error (use --debug for more info).

If this persists, please create a file with a fake (but otherwise valid) cookie such as echo "0123456789abcdef" > .adventofcode.session and test again. If you get the same error, please share the file so I can inspect it.
