# Summary As it seems, error handling regarding loading API profile is not complete and/or according error message is ambiguous/wrong. # Problem description Consider the following test environment: * Docker image with pytest in a Gitlab CI/CD runner * Step 1: use direct Python call using `cs` * Step 2: call cmk using `subprocess` * Error: "_Please provide either apikey/secretkey or username/password to make an API call Error: failed to authenticate to make API call_" ([from here](https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-cloudmonkey/blob/2d9fd04d3276149331c774cbd1c731a48a9008a9/cmd/network.go#L217)) # Troubleshooting so far What I've tried is: * Login to runner VM and run the test script inside the corresponding Docker container hoping to reproduce the problem * I can't reproduce the problem: as it is, the script is running through without error. If I try to modify test environment e.g. change credentials, then I get error from `cs`. If I change the way how `subprocess` is run, cmk can't be found * After reading the linked source code, I can't understand the logic but it seems to me the problem captured in the `else` block, string length of credentials, does not relate to the error message it issues that there is an auth problem? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
