Aunthentication failure

[Dave-DigiMim]

I randomly get this error, if I repeat the process a few times it will then work fine eventually.
I download 2 sets my self and my wife sometime 1 will fail sometimes the other..
I run both in a bash script. Which i now fail on Error, but would ideally like to retry!

Could it be a timing issue? Maybe my internet is slow or poor latency ?

I just used this script to try 10 times.

import os
from time import sleep
from sys import argv
from os.path import exists

def importgarpy(u,p,f,fd):
print("%s,%s,%s,%s"%(u,p,f,fd))
os.system("cd %s"%fd)
print(" changed path")
os.system("sudo chown -R pi:pi ./")
os.system("touch %s/startuptest"%fd)
os.system("/home/pi/.local/bin/garpy download -u %s -p %s 2>&1 | tee %s/%s"%(u,p,fd,f))
os.system("tail -1 %s/%s > %s/lastline.txt"%(fd,f,fd))
val=open("%s/%s"%(fd,f), "r").read()
print(val)
print(val.startswith("ConnectionError: authentication failure:") )
if val.startswith("ConnectionError: authentication failure:") != 0:
print("Connection Error")
return False
else:
return True
cnt=0
print("User=",argv[1],"Pass =",argv[2],"Filelog =",argv[3],"Folder=",argv[4])
while True:
res= importgarpy(argv[1],argv[2],argv[3],argv[4])
print("count ",cnt ,res)
if res==True:
print("Done")
break
elif cnt>10:
break
sleep(30)
cnt+=1

Hi @Dave-DigiMim,

Sorry for not replying earlier. I am getting the same random connection error. Garmin is getting better at blocking crawlers. For the moment, I don't have an easy fix for this.

I hope to find a solution when I have some available time.
