Description

Summary

a0deploy import hangs on Linux CI runner at:
Getting access token for <tenant-domain>

Versions tested

• ✅ Works: auth0-deploy-cli 8.16.0
• ❌ Hangs: 8.22.0, 8.28.0

Environment

• Runner: self-hosted Linux (EKS)
• Node: 22.22.0
• npm:
• Command:
  a0deploy import --env=true --input_file ./src --config_file ./config/config.json --prune --allow-delete

Expected

Import continues and completes.

Actual

Command hangs indefinitely after “Getting access token…”.

Logs (sanitized)

What we validated

• TLS/SNI connectivity from runner works via Node HTTPS and curl.
• Auth0 tenant/domain reachable.
• Secrets/env values present.

Mitigations attempted

• Pre-generate token via /oauth/token and pass AUTH0_ACCESS_TOKEN
• Unset client credentials and force token path
• Added workflow debug for env/config propagation
• Still hangs in affected versions

Workaround

Pinning to auth0-deploy-cli@8.16.0 resolves deployment on same runner.

Reproducibility

• Reproducible on our CI runner: always
• Local Windows: does not reproduce

Expectation

auth0-deploy-cli import should complete successfully on Linux GitHub Actions runners (same tenant/config as local), obtain auth without hanging, and proceed to deploy all configured assets i

Reproduction

Deploy CLI version

8.28.0

Node version

22.22.0
