2020-01-16 15:17:41 UTC - Bilal: Looks to me like your code is returning the
_response object_ which wouldn't work. You need to return a dictionary/json.
If you're using the requests module you can call `response.json()` but if you
are getting raw binary/bytes from your API, then you should just be able to
return the bytes string. `{'data': bytes_string}`
If you are trying to return a file, then you need to encode it as a string,
maybe base64.

2020-01-16 15:39:52 UTC - Bilal: So when setting up something on openwhisk to
consume incoming webhooks according to this
<https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/issues/3558> my options are to either
1. Tell the webhook provider my openwhisk auth (which doesn't work for
many/seems like it could expose auth needlessly)
2. Create a web-action that fires a trigger (using auth) passing payload to
business logic action
3. Create a web-action that async calls my business logic web action
Am I missing an option? Reasoning is that webhook providers want a quick
callback, like a 202 accepted. I was initially trying to make a trigger public.

2020-01-16 16:43:43 UTC - Tom Barber: second question: just checking my pattern
for non-blocking calls:
```def shortAction(params):
action = 'pixlize-serverless-dev-testLong'
host = os.environ.get('__OW_API_HOST')
ns = os.environ.get('__OW_NAMESPACE')
key = os.environ.get('__OW_API_KEY')
url = host + '/api/v1/namespaces/' + ns + '/actions/' + action
p = {}
response = <http://requests.post|requests.post>(url, json=p, verify=False,
params={'blocking': 'false'}, auth=(key.split(':')[0], key.split(':')[1]))
return {"greeting": response.text}
def longAction(params):
time.sleep(10)
return {"long greeting": "helllllooooo there"}```
does that look about right?
It runs, just checking its sane

2020-01-16 16:46:44 UTC - giusdp: Hey there, is there a way for the invoker to
know the IP or name of the node where it was launched on?

----
2020-01-16 17:17:09 UTC - Bilal: I'm newish to Openwhisk but you might check
the logs of the invoker. But anytime I encountered that error it was of type
"developer error" aka I wrote some bad code. :sweat_smile: I
f that's the only message you are getting, then probably has to do with
inputs/return value. Make sure you are inputting JSON/dict and are producing
JSON/dict.
I'm using the default of openwhisk-deploy-kube repo, and it might be useful to
look at invoker logs.
`kubectl -n openwhisk logs owdev-invoker-0`

2020-01-16 17:20:17 UTC - Bilal: Runs locally or on openwhisk? As far as I know
trying to access env variables in an action doesn't go so well. You can pass
default params as a way of passing in secrets/auth.
Or manifest.yaml via wskdeploy can read env variables and set those as default
params

2020-01-16 17:24:07 UTC - Bilal: also, calling `wsk -i activation result
<activation_id>`
or use the `--last` flag instead of activation_id, it'll say something like
"action did not return a dictionary"

2020-01-16 17:30:13 UTC - Tom Barber: It runs fine in openwhisk. Me and @Rodric
Rabbah we're discussing blocking vs non blocking actions a couple of months
ago. So shortAction calls longAction and returns an ID which you can then look
up to see its progress on another API call. those env vars seem fine, and it
calls the other action. I was just checking for sanity reasons

2020-01-16 18:23:19 UTC - Tom Barber: Woop, custom Docker action running.....
someone said a few months ago, you could actually use a Private Docker Repo...
has anyone got any details on that because on the action page it says it has to
be public on dockerhub

----
2020-01-16 18:34:13 UTC - Bilal: I too am also interested in using a private
docker registry.
Mostly I use the docker images when I have multiple actions that all need a
similar/same set of python packages. Seemed easier than renaming all my
actionsn to `__main__.py` and zipping each one individually. So not too big of
a deal to have that up on dockerhub.
