KeyError: 'return' when using SALTAPI_EAUTH=auto

$ pepper '*' test.ping
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/arthur/.virtualenvs/pepper/bin/pepper", line 265, in <module>
    exit_code, results = main()
  File "/home/arthur/.virtualenvs/pepper/bin/pepper", line 235, in main
    nodesJid = nodesJidRet['return'][0]['jid']
KeyError: 'return'

switching SALTAPI_EAUTH=pam in .pepperrc gets it to work.

Would be nice to catch this traceback.

Yeah, that's no good. We're obviously not checking for certain types of errors there. Can you paste the actual return from salt-api that you're getting?

The -H doesn't work to get debug this HTTP (should I open another issue ? ). For some reason the logger.debug in libpepper doesn't print out on the console here (using -v -H). Added some prints and got a simple :

Error with request HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized

salt-api side :

[INFO    ] 127.0.0.1 - - [30/Jan/2015:10:55:16] "POST /login HTTP/1.1" 401 742 "" "Python-urllib/2.7"

Thanks for filing this! I didn't realize the logging had been broken. Fixed in f623e84. A few error-handling enhancements have been made in 4cd1661 so you should see the correct 401 error now.

Please reopen if this is still an issue.
