Description Marcela Mašláňová 2013-08-09 10:46:44 UTC
Description of problem:
I can't reassign my packages to my colleague. I tried to reassign them by:
pkgdb-cli --user mmaslano unorphan --owner jplesnik name_of_package

I used the same approach for giving her acl on my packages, but the old script didn't work either. Authentication stopped failing, when I removed the .fedora/.fedora-session and run twice:
pkgdb-cli request --user mmaslano --cancel perl-pip watchcommits

I don't think it should work like that. Also time ago worked script with parameters --user mmaslano --password my_password, which is not true anymore even if help insist on using password on commandline. Something is really wrong.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
packagedb-cli-1.5.0-1.fc19.noarch

How reproducible:
pkgdb-cli --user mmaslano --debug unorphan --owner jplesnik perl-pip
INFO:pkgdb:user    : mmaslano
INFO:pkgdb:package : perl-pip
INFO:pkgdb:branch  : devel
INFO:pkgdb:owner  : jplesnik
DEBUG:pkgdb:Packages: perl-pip
INFO:pkgdb:Unorphaning package perl-pip on branch devel
Error: Auth was requested but no way to perform auth was given.  Please set username and password or session_id before calling this function with auth=True

Comment 1 Till Maas 2013-08-27 19:42:25 UTC
For me it is broken for a user with a different username than my fedora username, but it works if the usernames match. But it might also be something else, why it works/does not work for the different users:

    $ LANG=C pkgdb-cli --debug orphan --retire mod_mono devel
    INFO:pkgdb:user    : None
    INFO:pkgdb:package : mod_mono
    INFO:pkgdb:branch  : devel
    INFO:pkgdb:all     : False
    INFO:pkgdb:retire  : True
    DEBUG:pkgdb:Orphan mod_mono in devel
    INFO:pkgdb:Orphaning package mod_mono on branch devel
    Error: Auth was requested but no way to perform auth was given.  Please set username and password or session_id before calling this function with auth=True

Would be nice to fix this soon, because fedpkg from testing  already tries to call fedpkg-cli to retire packages.

Comment 2 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2013-08-27 20:33:46 UTC
Does pkgdb-cli prompt for username and password in this case and still refuse to authenticate you or does it never give you that chance?  If the latter, pkgd-cli probably needs to catch the AuthError, prompt for (username: optional) and password and then try again with that.

If the former, then it's a bug in python-fedora.  I've heard of that sporadically but haven't been able to diagnose it first hand.  We'll cross that bridge if that's what this is.

I do not get a password or username prompt when I try to run it as a different user. The output in comment:1 is all I get.

Comment 4 Marcela Mašláňová 2013-08-28 07:32:10 UTC
I agree, my user on computer is different than FAS name.

Fix a few bugs in get_client_authentified

Well, I found a few bugs that might be this one.  Could you try this patch and see if things work afterwards?

Is there any authenticated feature that can be used to test this? There is no package I need to retire right now, but I could unretire and retire a package if there is no other way.

Comment 7 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2013-08-28 16:07:57 UTC
Giving the global --test switch should operate on the staging database instead of the production database.  You can try that.

With the patch, it asks me for a password then, but I do not know which to use there.

Comment 9 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2013-08-28 22:47:04 UTC
You can check and set a different password at https://admin.stg.fedoraproject.org/accounts/ The FAS database in staging is periodically synced from production so initially it would be the same password as you use in production.

Comment 10 Till Maas 2013-08-29 06:45:56 UTC
I was just able to retire a package in production, therefore the patch fixes this issue for me.

Comment 11 Pierre-YvesChibon 2013-09-05 06:19:46 UTC
Thanks for the patch Toshio, I'll make a bugfix release and push an update with this change.
