[BUG] Loading forever

[dannyyy]

Describe the bug
Opening dash shows always Loading ... independent of the current directory or filters

To Reproduce
Start gh dash in any directory, repo directory or not

1. Go to cd ~/development/my-repo
2. Start gh dash
3. See Loading ...

Expected behavior
Never seen it working, but expect to see my PRs (authored or assigned) to work on them.
Similar output as using gh pr list [-A]

Please start dash like this:

gh dash --debug

…and then exit and take the debug.log from the directory where you started dash, and upload it in a comment here.

Thank you; I located the issue. My token hasn't had the Read:Discussion permission, which makes sense to display the comments. After adding this additional right to my token, Dash was able to start.

Nevertheless, I see two flaws that could be improved:

• Loading the PRs shouldn't be impacted by that, and a hint / error in the respective pane could be displayed where data cannot be fetched. In my case, just the comments
• Next to the --debug I tried to run Dash also from a regular terminal shell (not tmux), and then I could see for 1s a red text at the bottom with the error. Would it be possible to show this error a bit longer than just ~1s? Would it be possible to display errors also in tmux sessions?
