Authentication with 'session_id' in the Credentials object raises 'ArgumentException'

[nolan-sensorup]

When authenticating with a Credentials object that is given a session_id value and authenticating:

credentials = Credentials(username=..., database=..., server=..., session_id=...)
client = API.from_credentials(credentials)

The following error is returned:

{
    error: {
        code: -32000,
        data: {},
        errors: [
            {
                "message": "\"This method has been deprecated, and requires a custom code to be used. please use new methode 'ExtendSessionAsync' to extend your session.\"",
                "name": "'ArgumentException'",
            }
        ],
        message: "This method has been deprecated, and requires a custom code to be used. please use new methode 'ExtendSessionAsync' to extend your session.",
        name: "JSONRPCError",
    },
    id: -1,
    jsonrpc: "2.0",
    requestIndex: 0,
}

Hi @nolan-sensorup, I'll be taking a look at improvements, but as workaround when using the client after assigning it with API.from_credentials(credentials), you don't have to call client.authenticate().

If at this point you do want to extend your session, you should be able to call client.call("ExtendSession")... like so:

credentials = Credentials(username=..., database=..., server=..., session_id=...)
client = API.from_credentials(credentials)
client.call('ExtendSession', database=..., userName=..., sessionId=...)

# Make calls here
client.get('User', ....)

Please let me know if that worked for you
