Thanks for reporting this @leovarmak. The example currently expects you modify the script for account credentials, and this error is thrown if you use the default empty credentials. Is that what happened? Having said that, you raise a good point and having examples that run out of the box is a valuable goal to have.

@arjun27 I get that error even when I provide the correct credentials. I have verified that I indeed login by turning off headless mode.

Thanks for checking! What does it look like when you run the script in headful mode with headless: false as args to the launch() method calls?

This is what it looks like:

Thanks for sharing - super helpful! The demo account that I've been using does not have any repositories, and so the script is using "Create repository" to verify login. This is not working for you since the GitHub UI looks different. Let me update the script for a better check.

Aha. Got it! I think we need to change the script so that it supports the majority of the people i.e already existing users. Totally up to you.
Let me know if you want a PR 😄
