Authentication failure in running dependabot update on private-repo having pip as package-manager

Authentication failure in running dependabot update on private-repo having pip as package-manager

[jakecoffman]

@lucemia I just released v1.44 which should fix that! https://github.com/dependabot/cli/releases/tag/v1.44.0

[jakecoffman]

For Python the credentials section should be like so:

credentials:
  - type: python_index # underscore
    index-url: [registry_url] # index-url, not registry
    token: [token]

[deivid-rodriguez]

Did you try specifying username and password instead of token?

[rahmad-evertz]

Did you try specifying username and password instead of token?

yeah! I have tried that @deivid-rodriguez

[deivid-rodriguez]

Ah yes, I think the token needs to be specified as username:password, did you use that format?

[lucemia]

I encountered this problem as well. Despite setting the token in the format of "username:password", I continued to receive an error.

@jakecoffman

Thanks, I can confirm that this issue has been resolved with version 1.44.0.

[juanitosvq]

@lucemia do you mind if I ask if you use pipenv? And if you do, how do you specify the token needed to authenticate against your private repository? We pass it via an env var into our Pipfile, but in that case the CLI is unable to authenticate against it, even when passing the token in the job definition. Similarly, unless we hardcode the token, the github dependabot is creating invalid Pipfile.lock files for us: dependabot/dependabot-core#7936

Thanks!

@juanitosvq

No, I didn't use pipenv.
My scenario is pretty straightforward.

I ran the command:

dependabot update -f job.json

Here's how my job.json is set up:

# job.yaml
job:
    package-manager: pip
    allowed-updates:
      - update-type: all
    source:
        provider: github
        repo: [ORG/REPO]
        directory: /
        branch: main
credentials:
  - type: python_index
    index-url: PRIVATE_PYPI
    token: _json_key_base64:[PRIVATE_KEY]
  - type: git_source
    host: github.com
    username: x-access-token
    password: [GITHUB_TOKEN]

It started working after PR https://github.com/dependabot/cli/pull/215/files was merged!
