TASK DESCRIPTION

I just upgraded pywikibot from quite an old version (from around 2014), worked for a day or so just fine, and then (I guess the cookie expired), login doesn't work any more.

What I usually did:

  • do edits from the bot normally. From time to time, it requested the password. I typed it in, and it went on merrily for at least a couple weeks.

After the update (running [https] r-pywikibot-core.git (d21ee03, g7381, 2016/08/04, 08:27:53, n/a) on Linux. Tried with two systems. One, running python 2.7.3; the other, an up-to-date Ubuntu running python 2.7-12:

  • when I try to do a Page.put, I get the following errors:
  File "/home/bot/.pywikibot/core/pywikibot/tools/__init__.py", line 1414, in wrapper
    return obj(*__args, **__kw)

    prefix = login_result['login']['cookieprefix']
KeyError: u'cookieprefix'
<type 'exceptions.KeyError'>
CRITICAL: Closing network session.

If I type the wrong password, it just keeps asking for it. It only crashes when I enter the right password.

On the fresh install, I tried just the minimum:

  • install from git
  • create user-config.py with the generate_user_files.py utility.
  • python pwb.py login
  • enter password

I get:

This is completely reproducible, at least with my user. I find it impossible to login and I've tried two systems: the one where I usually do all the work, and a fresh install in an up-to-date Ubuntu.

In case you need to know, site is ca.wikipedia, where my bot is registered.
