We run a private wiki, requiring logins to read. Pywikibot worked fine in MediaWiki 1.26, but since upgrading to MediaWiki 1.27.1, pywikbot now cannot log in. Any debugging help appreciated! The symptom is:
$ pwb.py login.py ERROR: APIError: readapidenied: You need read permission to use this module Password for user Danb on examplewiki:en (no characters will be shown): ******** Logging in to examplewiki:en as Danb WARNING: API warning (login): Fetching a token via action=login is deprecated. Use action=query&meta=tokens&type=login instead. ERROR: Login failed (Failed). My family file DOES contains an isPublic method that returns False, as instructed for private wikis at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Use_on_third-party_wikis#Bot_.26_private_wikis. Also, authentication is by LDAP (using extension LdapAuthentication from mediawiki.org) and requires username, password, and domain. This worked fine for Pywikibot in MW 1.26. I tried generating a new family file, and that failed too: $ ./generate_family_file.py https://examplewiki.net/wiki/Home examplewiki Generating family file from https://examplewiki.net/wiki/Home Traceback (most recent call last): File "./generate_family_file.py", line 321, in <module> FamilyFileGenerator(*sys.argv[1:]).run() File "./generate_family_file.py", line 94, in run w = Wiki(self.base_url) File "./generate_family_file.py", line 262, in __init__ self._parse_post_117(wp, fromurl) File "./generate_family_file.py", line 293, in _parse_post_117 info = json.loads(data.read().decode(data.charset))['query']['general'] KeyError: u'query' Here is the Pywikibot version info: $ pwb.py version.py Pywikibot: [https] r-pywikibot-core (fd4707e, g5894, 2016/12/05, 19:10:45, n/a) Release version: 2.0rc5 httplib2 version: 0.9 cacerts: /home/danb/pywikibot/externals/httplib2/python2/httplib2/cacerts.txt certificate test: ok Python: 2.7.12 (default, Jul 1 2016, 15:12:24) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] unicode test: ok PYWIKIBOT2_DIR: Not set PYWIKIBOT2_DIR_PWB: /home/danb/pywikibot PYWIKIBOT2_NO_USER_CONFIG: Not set Config base dir: /home/danb/pywikibot Usernames for family "examplewiki": en: danb (also sysop) Thanks again, DanB _______________________________________________ pywikibot mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikibot
