Description

When logging in to pywikibot on toollabs, I am getting a looping login, and it is new (for me) in the past couple of days

tools.wikisource-bot@tools-bastion-01:~$ python pwb.py login -user:wikisource-bot -debug -verbose
The base directory is /data/project/wikisource-bot/.pywikibot

It is not a failed password error as that spits out a failed password error.

Version gives me ...

with guidance I ran

python -c "import pywikibot; s = pywikibot.Site('en', 'wikisource'); s.login()"

and no loop

I encountered this once yesterday, and deleting pywikibot.lwp fixed it.
@XZise also reported a similar sequence on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/231218/ PS 6

By the way this does not fix the issue here. Using the login script afterwards again causes the looping behavior. Afaik it's also looping when running a script.

It seems like I got that issue too but locally and using python setup.py nosetests --tests tests --verbosity=2 as the command.

I'm wondering if this might be caused by T110354: Login credentials are not kept between runs.
@XZise, did you reproduce it on a version prior to that fix?

I'm using https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/195100/8 which does not include the patch. But I haven't changed my cookie file at all and it happened out of the blue. And I'm a bit scared that switching branches might hide the problem again but I'll try implementing that on my own.

Okay it really seems that T110354 does fix it. Unfortunately I haven't backed up the cookie file from before so I could not verify that it's broken again when I undo the fix. Anyway I close it for now and wait if others experience that problem again.
