Overview

This guide will walk you through common issues and solutions for SDF Cloud compilation and authentication failures.

​
Authentication

When running sdf auth login, sometimes the browser may not pop up automatically. If this happens, you can manually open the browser and navigate to the URL provided in the terminal. 
sdf auth login 
Info Continue logging in using your browser.
      If your browser does not open automatically, please visit: 
      http://127.0.0.1:3267/login/start?sid=nAhtQm73WtbwoMuQ-loyPA
The URL can be command + clicked in VSCode, or copied and pasted into your browser.
If running SDF within an SSH’d machine, you may need to use a browser on your local machine to complete the authentication process with SSH port forwarding. If this is not possible, you can use headless access tokens to authenticate. These can be created in the Credentials section of your organization settings.

​
Compilation

The SDF Cloud compiles your workspace in the same way you compile it locally. This is indicated by a red indicator next to your workspace name. If you see this indicator, it means the SDF Cloud was unable to compile your workspace. This could be due to a number of reasons:
  • Missing or incorrect environment variables required for compilation
  • Missing or incorrect credentials required for compilation
  • Firewalls or network restrictions preventing the SDF Cloud from accessing your data sources
Support for managing credentials and environment variables from the console UI is coming soon.

​
Cluster IP Allowlist

If you are using a cloud data warehouse alongside SDF, you may need to add your SDF cluster’s IP address to your cloud warehouse’s IP allowlist. This is because the SDF Cloud needs to access your data warehouse to compile your workspace. The SDF Cloud’s cluster IP address can be found in your organization settings page.
This cluster IP is unique to your cluster if subscribed to a dedicated cluster with SDF.
