@yuvipanda I can login and pwb.py login -lang:cs works fine. Account UrbanecmBot was used.

Well, what token are you using?

(copy text from a command prompt window)

@Tgr this is at paws.wmflabs.org, so after the user logs in, we inject the
credentials into pywikibot using this code:
https://github.com/yuvipanda/paws/blob/master/singleuser/user-config.py

Hi, I have the same problem for pwb.py login.py -lang:fr after disconnet / close / shutdown all

pywikibot.exceptions.NoUsername: Failed OAuth authentication for wikipedia:fr: The authorization headers in your request are not valid: No
 approved grant was found for that authorization token.                                                                                   
<class 'pywikibot.exceptions.NoUsername'>

PAWS was working for me last weekend.

Maybe try to force password login using pwb.py login -pass -lang:fr for example as a workaround?

I've got the same error, with and without good password, preceded by

WARNING: The -pass argument is not implemented yet. See: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T102477

Ok. So try to remove lines from # If OAuth integration is available, take it to the end of file in file named /srv/paws/user-config.py, then try to login normally. This should allow you to use PAWS using password. The server will try to revert your changes as soon as possible so when it will not work, try to do it again. Or, you can try to add unset CLIENT_ID to .bashrc file.

@yuvipanda, but what are those credentials? Sharing the client_id/access_key should be safe and it's hard to debug the problem without that.

ah, sure. 0a73e346a40b07262b6e36bdba01cba4 is the client_id.

The access token is 7cb5b315a11d0dcbe46d1c90332dd210 for Dvorapa (timestamp: 20160827125759) and 0d64b706435230a05213f605ff1ad8ac for Framawiki (20160829061415). Does that match the PAWS data?

Hmm, nope that doesn't match.

Also, @Dvorapa @Framawiki please do not use password based login. This is highly insecure - I've filed T144151 to disable it on PAWS. In the meantime, you two should probably change your passwords. I understand it's frustrating to not be able to use this, I'll try to get it sorted in the next week with help from @Tgr.

@yuvipanda Okay, so sorry for my advice :). I wanted to give them access to the service somehow and not reveal them passwords :). BTW, when they run chmod 600 on lwp files and keep them in this mode (so only them should be able to read it), will it be more secure?

BTW, when I use password based login at labs, I can see *.lwp has 644 mode by default. I think this is not right and probably pwb should create files like this with 600 mode by default. So I'm going to change my bot password right now and enable OAuth login for my user account too :).

This do not affect only WMF services but all users who uses password based login at computers with more than one user account in it...

I filled T144157 for set up PWB as I described.

Ok, i understand. (@yuvipanda, I just send you an email)

Hi, I have tested now with "framawiki" and it still not work. "framabot" looks ok.
I have save all files. @yuvipanda Can you try to reset any content in your server for "framawiki" account ?

Ping @yuvipanda :)

Hello! I unfortunately won't have time to look into this for at least two more weeks (all of ops are travelling to our offsite). I'll check back with @Tgr and debug when I'm back. In the meantime, I assume you can just use the @framabot account without issues?

No problem, I understand. I have a shell acces on tool labs too, so it is not urgent. And yes i have checked tonight, my second account work on paws, so i can run my tests. See you next time :)

I solved it by updating pwb git repo on PAWS and uploading own preferences file. I only can not stop server (everything would be back broken). But time to time, PAWS stops my server somehow automatically and I have to update git repo and load own preferences file again. Not easy though :/

BTW is there some manual how to use other login options than a password?

@Dvorapa As said before don't use password auth please. Regarding the other methods you can use OAuth (documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/OAuth). If you use this, the user-config must be 600 as it contains info required for logging in and making actions.

BTW you may request access to Tool-labs (https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Tool_Labs) and then use pywikibot there. It is much easier than using PAWS.

@Dvorapa you need to add a user-config.py file to your root directory see the following file as an example. That should be all needed for authentication on PAWS.

The version of Pywikibot installed by default is over a year old, I might do a pull request updating it later today.

@Urbanecm I'd like to avoid password in PAWS (in order to avoid this bug and/or be more secure), therefore I asked, what are the options. Thank you for links, I am browsing them. Two questions: I understand OAuth is more secure, but why? If I set OAuth tokens and stuff for PAWS, can I still use password on my PC at home?

@Urbanecm BTW if pywikibot on Tool-labs is much easier to use than PAWS, what is the advantage of PAWS? I haven't tried Tool-labs yet, because I haven't needed to and because of some bugs Tool-labs has got (discussed in some of our previous talks). I love the way how PAWS works as it works exactly how I need (except this bug, naturally :D)

The step 1 of manual to start using OAuth does not work. It looks like the page is called differently.

@Dvorapa when you use passwords on PAWS I believe they are public to all PAWS users.

Yes, you can even comment the OAuth line and log in using password. When I said easier I meant you can use crons, grid, you have access to replicas etc. PAWS can be used everywhere (some firewalls may block 22), you dont need to set up anything to get it working, just log in And use.

The page is called Special:OAuthConsumerRegistration/propose but It must be used at meta.

Removing the extension tag as there does not seem to be anything actionable on that side.

On second thought I'll keep the tag and hide it on the workboard. Sorry for the noise.

@MarcoAurelio Hint: reinstalling pywikibot inside paws terminal was a solution for me ;)

@Dvorapa: would you please tell me how to do that? I am new to the PAWS
platform. Thanks.

Just login on Commons manually before you run the bot for the first time.

The account was already created on commonswiki, per CentalAuth.

I login on Commons manually but then it write

Why are you trying to edit wikipedia:ar then? By the way try pwb.py commonscat -start:Category:! -summary:"Přidáno commonscat za použití bota" (note the quotes).

Hmm... I've got it. The tools tries to browse ALL wikis per interwiki. You'll need to visit all wikis when logged in to be sure you have an account at all of them. This is totally irelevant to PAWS.

When i login site that is writen in the error the error show another wiki

As I said: The script tries to login at all existent wikis so you'll have to create your account at it by visiting it for the first time.

Yes....but it existing thousands of wikipedias

You're not right. Only 308 Wikipedias and 909 wikis in together ;). You may use https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Krinkle/Tools/Global_SUL when signed as your bot to create an account at all wikis by a script.

Thank you

You're welcome.

@yuvipanda and others: I am experiencing this problem as well in PAWS (WARNING: API error mwoauth-invalid-authorization: The authorization headers in your request are not valid: No approved grant was found for that authorization token., see full error message here). From the details in this task I was not able to recover the PAWS tool for me, so do we have a solution meanwhile?

@MisterSynergy can you (and others!) try out a new install at https://paws.tools.wmflabs.org? All your old files will still be here, but the authentication (and other code) is vastly improved and stable. I'll point paws.wmflabs.org to this in the next few days. Try it out and see if that solves your problem?

Thanks!

@yuvipanda It works as expected for me.

Works for me as well.

Will test

@MarcoAurelio - is that showing up at paws.tools.wmflabs.org and not at paws.wmflabs.org? Or is it showing up at both?

Sorry for the late reply @yuvipanda. I will test again just to be sure but if my memory does not fail it was at paws.tools.

This is still an existing bug. So if I fill in my home wiki information in user-config.py. it work successfully, but not if I don't.
I have a theory about what happened, so basically the script is trying to log me into a wikimedia site which i haven't accessed yet, maybe there is a default test wiki? I'm not exactly sure of the internal mechanism, but given the aforementioned fact, this is the best theory I can came up with for now.

There always must be your home wiki in user-config.py. You can use generate_user_files.py to add your home wiki to the user-config.py file.

Or define it in code.

Or use -lang:xx arg for provided scripts.
The default used wiki used is http://test.wikipedia.org/.

You'll need to use also -user parameter usually to make it work.

PAWS will auto connect your username to several wikis.
