I am trying to deploy my app on an ec2 instance, so I am doing the first step, which is to get the env vars, e.g.,

shopify "app" "env" "show"

The shopify cli is trying to open a link to shopify and it timesout. with

Auto-open timed out. Open the login page: Log in to Shopify Partners (URL)

I copy the url, paste it into my browser and of course it fails. So, then I copy the url, <copied-localhost-url> that it tried to go to and goto my ec2 instance and in another shell, I do wget <copied-localhost-url> Then, it reports an error:

╭─ error ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮

Any thoughts?

I figured this out by enclosing the URL string in quotes. Otherwise curl or wget mysteriously only sends partial URL. Hope that helps
