Rclone authorize in WSL string gets cropped

Suspected Bug
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I am using rclone on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 11 running Ubuntu 22.04) for creating the authorization string needed by rclone on a single board computer without screen.
The problem is that the authorization string gets cropped in the WSL terminal, what does not fit in a line is not shown, so that I cannot copy and paste it wholly.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

In the headless machine (Debian 11 bullseye, currently the oldstable):
rclone v1.53.3-DEV

  • os/arch: linux/arm64
  • go version: go1.15.9

In the WSL one (Ubuntu 22.04 inside Windows 11):
rclone v1.53.3-DEV

  • os/arch: linux/amd64
  • go version: go1.18.1

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Microsoft Sharepoint

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone authorize "onedrive"

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[vitsolcpedia]
type = onedrive
token = {"access_token":"secretsecrets3cr3t","expiry":"2024-05-15T14:51:36.25766811+02:00"}
drive_id = b!ULA3U2AaK06F79enKkVJaJi3qM40pAJJiLxL_T-ffQJJuprpRoXBQbsDVuhImtuF
drive_type = documentLibrary

A log from the command with the -vv flag

The workaround that I found is launching this command on WSL before requiring the authentication string:

You'd want to update rclone as that's a mega ancient version.

Tried to compile it on WSL, got this error:

Just run the install or grab the latest binary. Bit easier than compiling:

Install (rclone.org)

I closed the WSL and re-opened it and the issue is not there anymore.
Sorry, I checked many times but I did not close the thing and open it again before.
So now it works, and I have no idea what I did earlier that caused this issue.
Please consider this issue closed.
Apologizes.
