client.login returns await

[wlwwu]

Summary

with all the credentials provided, the client is returnning something error

Steps to Reproduce

from conjur_api.providers.authn_authentication_strategy import AuthnAuthenticationStrategy
from conjur_api.providers.simple_credentials_provider import SimpleCredentialsProvider
from conjur_api.models import SslVerificationMode,ConjurConnectionInfo,CredentialsData
from conjur_api.client import Client
from dotenv import load_dotenv, find_dotenv

import os

ENV_FILE = find_dotenv()
if ENV_FILE:
load_dotenv(ENV_FILE)

conjur_url = os.getenv("CONJUR_URL")
account = os.getenv("ACCOUNT")
username = os.getenv("CONJUR_LOGIN_ID")
api_key = os.getenv("API_KEY")
ssl_verification_mode = SslVerificationMode.TRUST_STORE

connection_info = ConjurConnectionInfo(conjur_url=conjur_url,account=account,cert_file=None)

credentials = CredentialsData(username=username, api_key=api_key, machine=conjur_url)
credentials_provider = SimpleCredentialsProvider()
credentials_provider.save(credentials)
del credentials

authn_provider = AuthnAuthenticationStrategy(credentials_provider)

client = Client(connection_info,
authn_strategy=authn_provider,
ssl_verification_mode=ssl_verification_mode)

client.login()

Expected Results

it should return the login info, not the error info

Actual Results

ubuntu@host:/data/dev/conjur_api$ python3.10 auth.py
/data/dev/conjur_api/auth.py:36: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Client.login' was never awaited
client.login()
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

Reproducible

• Always
• Sometimes
• Non-Reproducible

Version/Tag number

What version of the product are you running? Any version info that you can
share is helpful. For example, you might give the version from Docker logs,
the Docker tag, a specific download URL, the output of the /info route, etc.

Environment setup

• Can you describe the environment in which this product is running? Is it running on a VM / in a container / in a cloud?
• Which cloud provider? Which container orchestrator (including version)?
• The more info you can share about your runtime environment, the better we may be able to reproduce the issue.

I fell into the same "trap", not knowing there was such a thing as the asyncio library. You need to wrap your logic into an async def function and use await on client methods. Something like this:

import asyncio

def main():
  client = asyncio.run(get_client())

async def get_client():
  # Setup your conjur client here
  return await client.login()

if __name__ == "__main__":
  main()
