Expected behavior

get_auth_token()
"VALUE"

Actual behavior

get_auth_token()
''

Steps to reproduce the behavior

from mglib import get_auth_token, obj_from_url, API_URL
get_auth_token()

Note

I have already tried:

  • Updating the repository locally MG-RAST-Tools/
  • Reinstalling MG-RAST-Tools: python setup.py build
  • Updating mglib: pip install mglib --upgrade

I'm not sure what your problem is. get_auth_token() is a helper function in the shared library that our scripts use, it expects the token to either be in a shell environmental variable or passed to the script via a command line option. Which script is it not working in?

To restate the above.. get_auth_token retrieves the token from the MGRKEY environment variable.

You must get the authorization token from the upload page and put its value into MGRKEY.
