Can only auth successfully in TeslaPy directory

[88gts]

hey all, seeing a very weird failure here. i had to change my pw and re-auth, updated to 2.0 via pip3, also pulled down the repo locally.

Name: TeslaPy
Version: 2.0.0
Summary: A Python module to use the Tesla Motors Owner API
Home-page: https://github.com/tdorssers/TeslaPy
Author: Tim Dorssers
Author-email: tim.dorssers@xs4all.nl
License: UNKNOWN
Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages
Requires: requests-oauthlib, requests, websocket-client

unfortunately after updating, i can only get my scripts to work if in the current directory.

sample script

root@pigts:/var/www/scripts/notify/TeslaPy# cat teslakev.py 
import teslapy

with teslapy.Tesla('XXXXX') as tesla:
        tesla.fetch_token()
        vehicles = tesla.vehicle_list()
        vehicles[1].sync_wake_up()
        print(vehicles[1].get_vehicle_data()['drive_state'])

command output :

root@pigts:~# python3 /var/www/scripts/notify/TeslaPy/teslakev.py

When you run your script like that, the cache.json file is searched in the working directory, which is your home dir in your case. This cache.json has probably your old credentials. I can't think of any other reason for the 401. When you change the working dir to the script folder, then a different cache.json is used and the script runs without issue. I suggest you specify the directory for the cache.json file, to make sure that the correct file is used.

Makes perfect sense, first unblocked myself by dropping cache.json in the home dir. Then modified the declaration of cache.json in init.py

             cache_file='/var/www/scripts/notify/TeslaPy/cache.json', cache_loader=None, cache_dumper=None):

Thank you for the quick response.
