Description
When I try to login with GitHub,an error occurred.
Here is what I got on the error page
Error
...e/luarocks/.luarocks/share/lua/5.1/lapis/application.lua:402: ./applications/github.lua:83: attempt to index local 'user' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
./applications/github.lua: in function <./applications/github.lua:32>

Another piece of information is that I have registered with the same email address as the one my GitHub account uses
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start in applications/github.lua, especially the handler around line 32 and the failing access at line 83. Reproduce the GitHub login flow and inspect why the user value is nil, including the same-email case described in the report. Done means GitHub login no longer produces this error page.
