Friendlier error message needed: "could not create new auth interceptor"

[voltagex]

Looks like this error message comes from

woodpecker/cmd/agent/core/agent.go

Line 142 in 6b756ab

return fmt.Errorf("could not create new auth interceptor: %w", err)

In my case I get {"level":"fatal","error":"could not create new auth interceptor: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = name resolver error: produced zero addresses","time":"2025-03-10T05:37:56Z","caller":"/src/cmd/agent/core/run.go:52","message":"error running agent"}

But this doesn't tell me what the DNS server was trying to resolve (Woodpecker server hostname? Forgejo hostname?), what DNS server it tried to hit or how to start fixing the issue.

Rpc "indicates" that it had issues with the grpc connection between your agent and the woodpecker server. Probably resulting from a wrong token.

Sure, and I'm pretty sure this was caused by issues with the Docker setup, but that doesn't mean you couldn't have better error messages at this point.

I have the same error message and am looking for the reason. My docker setup worked a week ago. Now the agent continuously restarts with that error message and I don't know, what it means. Should I open a different discussion to find the reason?

Please check your agent token. This discussion is about improving this error message
