HTTP 401 Error

[infn8]

Not sure if this is an error for this library or not but here goes:

When connecting i use this code

const rally = require('rally');

rc = rally({
	user: 'user@domain.ext',
	pass: 'xxxxxxxx',
	apiKey: token
});

Using the token Which i get by going here:

https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/security/authorize

with my username and password. I then run this

rc.get({
	fetch: ['FormattedID', 'USXXXXX'], //fields to fetch
	scope: {
		workspace: '/workspace/YYYYYYYYYYYd' 
	},
}).then(function(result) {
		console.log(result);
}).catch(function(errors) {
	 console.log(errors);
});

Where YYYYYYYYYYYd is my real workspace ID and USXXXXX is a real User Story on that workspace. I get response that says:

Error 401 Full Authentication is required to access this resource 
HTTP ERROR 401
Problem Accessing /slm/webservice/v2.0null. Reason:

Am I missing something?

A couple things. First- you should either use username/password OR an api key, but not both. You shouldn't need to worry about the CSRF token or the /security/authorize endpoint- that will be handled transparently by the toolkit once you are authenticated.

An api key may be obtained by going to https://rally1.rallydev.com/login

It seems like you're trying to find a story by FormattedID. In order to do that you'll need to use the query method. The error you're getting is because the get method expects a ref property of the object to read (/defect/12345 for example)

Something like this should work for you:

restApi.query({
    type: 'hierarchicalrequirement', //the type to query
    fetch: ['FormattedID'], //the fields to retrieve
    query: queryUtils.where('FormattedID', '=', 'US12345)
}).then().catch()...

I am trying to update the note section of a user story. Below is my code :

var rally = require('rally'),
queryUtils = rally.util.query;
refUtils = rally.util.ref;
restApi = rally({
user: username,
pass: password,
apiVersion: 'v2.0',
server: 'https://rally1.rallydev.com',
}, function (error, result) {
if (error) {
console.log('Failed to access Rally server:', error);
}
});

Above code is working as expected am able to update the note section of userstory or defect. But when try to use the same with "apiKey". I got error " Item with ID not found".

With username and password things working fine but not with apiKey. can you please help?

Can you post your full code? I think the code above is just a snippet.

[vijendra-impetus]

console.log('\nUpdating rally comments');

var args = process.argv.slice(2);
username = args[0].split(":")[0];
password = args[0].split(":")[1];
item = args[1];
comments = args[2];
updatedNotes = args[2];

if (item.substr(0,2) === 'DE') {
itemType = 'defect';
console.log('Defect: ' + args[1]);
console.log('Comments to be added: ' + comments + '\n');
} else if (item.substr(0,2) === 'US') {
itemType = 'hierarchicalrequirement';
console.log('User story: ' + args[1]);
console.log('Comments to be added: ' + comments + '\n');
} else {
try {
throw new Error('Please provide a correct defect or user story id to update.\nSample command: node app.js 'username:password' 'defectId' 'Comments to be updated'');
} catch (error) {
console.log('Failed while updating comments:', error.message);
return false;
}
}

var rally = require('rally'),
queryUtils = rally.util.query;
refUtils = rally.util.ref;
restApi = rally({
user: username, //required if no api key, defaults to process.env.RALLY_USERNAME
pass: password, //required if no api key, defaults to process.env.RALLY_PASSWORD
server: 'https://rally1.rallydev.com', //this is the default and may be omitted
}, function (error, result) {
if (error) {
console.log('Failed to access Rally server:', error);
}
});

function getNotes() {
return restApi.query({
type: itemType,
fetch: ['Notes'],
query: queryUtils.where('FormattedID', '=', item)
});
}

function updateNotes(result) {
console.log(result);
if (!result || !result.Results || result.Results.length === 0) {
throw new Error('Item with ID ' + item + ' not found');
}
notes = result.Results[0].Notes;
if (notes) {
updatedNotes = notes + '

' + comments + '

';
}
console.log(updatedNotes);
return restApi.update({
ref: refUtils.getRelative(result.Results[0]._ref),
data: {
Notes: updatedNotes //the data with which to update the specified object
}
});
}

function onSuccess(result) {
console.log('Successfully updated comments for ' + item);
}

function onError(errors) {
console.log('Failed while updating comments for ' + item, errors);
}

getNotes().
then(updateNotes).
then(onSuccess).
fail(onError)

Above is the complete code.

Above code is working fine as i am giving username and password but when i try to comment username and password and give apiKey, then i got error.

Hi @krmorse did you get the chance to look in to this?

thanks in advance for the help.

[krmorse]

The code looks ok in general... Are you sure the api key is valid?

[vijendra-impetus]

@krmorse ,

Yes the API key is valid.
