CLI is unable to authenticate when using apiUrl

[wfjsw]

Starting from some recent CLI version, using npx @tolgee/cli pull was not sufficient to authenticate to the self-hosted server when apiUrl is present in .tolgeerc.yaml.

...
projectId: 20
apiUrl: "https://server"
format: JSON_TOLGEE
...

> npx @tolgee/cli pull
Need to install the following packages:
@tolgee/[email protected]
Ok to proceed? (y) y

🔴 No API key has been provided. You must either provide one via --api-key, or login via `tolgee login`.

Instead, I must do npx @tolgee/cli --api-url https://server pull

> npx @tolgee/cli --api-url https://server pull

Hey, sorry for late reaction. And you are using env variable, or login command? I've tested the apiUrl in the config and I haven't found any issues with that.

I did logged in with command and it requires apiurl arg at that time. Let me try once again later...

[wfjsw]

Hmm tried once again with npx @tolgee/cli login without --api-url and now it works. Dunno what's the deal with the undefined thing.

> npx @tolgee/cli login xxxxx
 ✅ Logged in as *** on undefined. Welcome back!
> npx @tolgee/cli pull

Looking at the authentcation file it is stored in a separated entry than that stored with --api-url. Is this expected?

I'll need to check the login functionality, it seems like it's not very intuitive.

I don't know what the issue is, after logging in with self-hosted instance (using --api-url) it says:

✅ Logged in as Pezhvak on XXXXXXX for project XXXXX (#3). Welcome back!

But then when i try to do tolgee pull it says:

🔴 No API key has been provided. You must either provide one via --api-key, or login via `tolgee login`.

I even created tolgee.config.js and added apiUrl and projectId to it, but nothing helped, on my other project randomly it works, something is not right, i guess it have something to do with providing custom api-url for self-hosted instance.

I think i found the issue, if you provide --api-url in tolgee login, it will save the credentials with it, but tolgee config file does not recognize the provided tolgeeUrl from config file, it looks into undefiened property in the authentication.json. it's weired, when i try to login without the --api-url it reads the server from config file and works, but it saves the credentials in the same property as mentioned which is undefined not in the right property which seems to be tolge instance server url.
