tried to use multiple endpoint in ovh.conf but failed

[xinity]

as discussed on twitter with @oyadutaf

i've tried to use several endpoint but it seems to have failed.
here is an ovh.conf example (not a real one of course :) ):

;[default]
; general configuration: default endpoint
endpoint=ovh-eu

[ovh-eu]
; configuration specific to 'ovh-eu' endpoint
application_key=SDi4hq7ZD6IxcAxI
application_secret=5xaqN4BeD30WKt0qk9Z12wZVcx9MhxAZ
; uncomment following line when writing a script application
; with a single consumer key.
consumer_key=oKKIeDF5JZnGA4wrIa0LZVAZ9xKK8M

[soyoustart-eu]
; configuration specific to 'soyoustart-eu' endpoint
application_key=adrDGpstz3nt2ed8
application_secret=iWgcINEYRqChWH29MEnUhwWkqsuoxs0T
; uncomment following line when writing a script application
; with a single consumer key.
consumer_key=W5ZvsdXnAGpamjEfO9IDSjSHJbL7jkIf

here is a python PoC:

import ovh
import sugarcrm
import datetime
from tabulate import tabulate

mydata= []

def ovh_request():
# create a client for dedicated hosting
    clientd = ovh.Client(endpoint='ovh-eu')
# create a client for SYS hosting
    clients = ovh.Client(endpoint='soyoustart-eu')
    clientall = [clientd , clients]
# get list of all server names
    for cli_connect in clientall:
        lbills = cli_connect.get('/me/bill?date.from=20150201&date.to=20150331')

        for idbills in lbills:

            idbillsd = cli_connect.get('/me/bill/%s/details' % idbills)
            for bills in idbillsd:
                billdetail = cli_connect.get('/me/bill/%s/details/%s' % (idbills, bills) )
                source=billdetail['domain']
                price=billdetail['totalPrice']['value']
                startmonth=billdetail['periodStart']
                endmonth=billdetail['periodEnd']
                mydata.append([str(source),int(price),str(startmonth),str(endmonth)])

ovh_request()
print tabulate(mydata, headers=['Type', 'Prix', 'SPeriode','EPeriode'])

the ovh-eu endpoint works, but the soyoustart-eu endpoint doesn't.

both only works if i specify the connection strings like:
clientd = ovh.Client(endpoint='ovh-eu',application_key='XXXXX', application_secret='XXXX', consumer_key='XXXX')

clientd = ovh.Client(endpoint='soyoustart-eu', application_key='XXXXX', application_secret='XXXX', consumer_key='XXXX')

any clues on why ? have i made a mistake somewhere ?

Thanks for the detailed report. It definitively looks like a bug. I'll have a closer looks as soon as possible. Just one more question: do you have any ovh.conf at any of these locations ?

• /etc/ovh.conf
• $HOME/.ovh.conf
• ./ovh.conf

[xinity]

ovh.conf only reside in the local dir ( i.e ./ovh.conf)
nothing in /etc/ or in $HOME

I could not reproduce the behavior described in this issue. By any chance, is there any swapped/mis-pasted configuration item in ovh.conf?

Here is the output of my attempts, with some additional debug at the end of ovh.client.Client.__init__, using the configuration file provided in the issue.

@xinity: Did you noticed you have a ";" before the "default" section name in your config file?

[xinity]

@gierschv yes i put in on purpose thinking that as i described 2 endpoint, default should be enabled.

am i wrong ?

[gierschv]

@xinity yes, that's why you sould have

[default]
; general configuration: default endpoint
endpoint=ovh-eu

and you currently have:

;[default]
; general configuration: default endpoint
endpoint=ovh-eu

[xinity]

@gierschv i'll try it then and let you know how it goes :)
thanks for the tipes
