Error invoking wsk actions. "The supplied authentication is not authorized to access this resource"

[mdcarlson]

I can successfully run wsk list but am getting an "authentication not authorized" error when invoking the sample action.

 wsk list
 entities in namespace: default
 packages
 actions
 triggers
 rules

Results of wsk action:

 wsk -v action invoke /whisk.system/samples/echo -p message hello --blocking --result

I used wsk property set --auth $(cat config/keys/<<keyname>> to test the auth.guest and auth.whisk.system creds. Also tested a subject that I created with wskadmin.

This can happen if the package was not actually installed. Are you running off the deployment with the failed controller from issue #31? If so, that deployment did not run to completion and hence the standard assets are not installed.

[mdcarlson]

Yes. That's likely the case. I'll retest after creating the build as suggested in #31.

Re-running the entire ant clean build deploy with the single thread option specified lead to a successful build and deploy. The sample actions were deployed correctly and the sample action returns expected results both when run from within the VM and from outside the VM.

Thanks!

[rabbah]

Great - glad to hear it. I'll add a tip to the docs and tweak base on your experience. Thanks.

Hi, im still getting this issue where when I run a wsk command in my local terminal I recieve an error like this: The supplied authentication is not authorized to access 'wsk-chatbot-framework_prod/v1' Any suggestions on how this could be fixed? Thanks

[rabbah]

can you share more details to help you diagnose this problem?
in particular if you're getting that error (assuming your deploying is configured correctly), it means you're using a key not authorized for the namespace.
