openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: Error fetching a token for connecting to the server: [1 pull requests]

Bug type

Regression (worked before, now fails)

Beta release blocker

No

Summary

None of the queried intents (chat) are known by the auth provider. Please add one of these to the user you want to connect with using the addIntentToUser method or the additional parameter to addUser or addUserForToken.

"3:32 PM Same error persisting:

"None of the queried intents (chat) are known by the auth provider." The refresh token and auth provider are now working fine — "Added user 1495493130 to RefreshingAuthProvider" and "automatic token refresh enabled" are both good signs. But the plugin is still failing because the token doesn't have the chat intent registered with it internally.

This is a bug in the plugin's code — it's not calling addIntentToUser for the chat scope after adding the user to the provider. This is an OpenClaw plugin issue, not a config issue on your end.

Your best path forward is to report this on the OpenClaw GitHub or Discord. The error message is very specific and actionable for the developers:

Error fetching a token for connecting to the server: None of the queried intents (chat) are known by the auth provider. Please add one of these to the user you want to connect with using the addIntentToUser method or the additional parameter to addUser or addUserForToken. In the meantime, check if there's a newer version of the plugin:

powershell openclaw plugins update @openclaw/twitch Or check the current installed version:

powershell Get-Content "$env:USERPROFILE.openclaw\extensions\twitch\package.json" | ConvertFrom-Json | Select-Object name, version This looks like a known @twurple library integration bug that the plugin maintainer needs to fix."

Steps to reproduce

teps to reproduce Install @openclaw/twitch plugin version 2026.5.7 (local extension at ~/.openclaw/extensions/twitch) Configure openclaw.json with a valid Twitch bot account using username, accessToken (with oauth: prefix), clientId, clientSecret, and refreshToken Run openclaw gateway Observe Twitch channel connection attempt

Expected behavior

The Twitch channel connects and remains connected, as the credentials are valid (confirmed via POST https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/validate returning HTTP 200 with chat:read, chat:edit, and user:read:chat scopes for the configured user).

Actual behavior

The channel exits immediately after reporting "Connected to Twitch as Velho_AI" with the error: Error fetching a token for connecting to the server: None of the queried intents (chat) are known by the auth provider. Please add one of these to the user you want to connect with using the addIntentToUser method or the additional parameter to addUser or addUserForToken. The channel then enters an infinite retry loop with exponential backoff, reset periodically by the health monitor. The gateway never establishes a stable Twitch connection.

OpenClaw version

OpenClaw version 2026.5.7 (eeef486)

Operating system

Windows 10/11

Install method

npm global install, launched via openclaw gateway

Model

Model google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview (thinking=medium, fast=off)

Provider / routing chain

Provider / routing chain Google / Gemini direct

Additional provider/model setup details

Plugin loaded as a non-bundled local extension from C:\Users\USER.openclaw\extensions\twitch\dist\index.js. plugins.allow is not set. RefreshingAuthProvider is used when clientSecret and refreshToken are provided; StaticAuthProvider is used when only accessToken and clientId are provided. Both auth provider paths produce the same fatal error. Token validated externally as having chat:read, chat:edit, user:read:chat scopes.

Logs, screenshots, and evidence

[twitch] Added user 1495493130 to RefreshingAuthProvider for Velho_AI
[twitch] Using RefreshingAuthProvider for Velho_AI (automatic token refresh enabled)

Please add one of these to the user you want to connect with using the `addIntentToUser` method or the additional parameter to `addUser` or `addUserForToken`.


Token validation response:
client_id  : gp762nuuoqcoxypju8c569th9wz7q5
login      : velho_ai
scopes     : {chat:edit, chat:read, user:read:chat}
user_id    : 1495493130
expires_in : 0

Impact and severity

Affected: All users of the @openclaw/twitch plugin attempting to connect a bot account to a Twitch channel Severity: Blocks workflow entirely — Twitch channel integration is non-functional Frequency: Always reproduces with valid credentials Consequence: Bot never joins the channel; failed onboarding for new users; infinite retry loop consuming resources

Additional information

The error message references addIntentToUser from the @twurple/auth library. The plugin appears to add the user to the RefreshingAuthProvider without specifying the chat intent, causing all subsequent token fetches for chat to fail. Last known good version: unknown (never successfully connected on this install). First known bad version: 2026.5.7.
