Hi,

im trying to create a hosting-service-account over URI: /api/hosting-service-accounts/
in a python script. my code:

def create_account():
    data = {
        "service_id":"gitlab",
        "username":"username",
        "hosting_url":"https://gitlab..."
    }
    header =  {"Authorization": "token ..."}
    x = requests.post(url = url, data = data, headers = header)

and I always get the following error:
ERROR:root:Unexpected error when linking GitLab account for <WSGIRequest: POST '/api/hosting-service-accounts/'>: string indices must be integers

can somebody please help me to fix this issue.
Thank you! :)

Hi,

Can you check the Review Board server log and see if there’s a stack trace for this?

What version of Review Board is this using?

Christian

Hi, first of all, thank you for your help!
I use the docker-compose approach that I found on your reviewboard github repository
on localhost. Because of that i think it uses Reviewboard version 5.0
Strange thing is, that it works when the service_id is googlecode but with gitlab or github
it is not working.

The error I get is the following:


<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
 <head>
  <title>500 - Internal Server Error | Review Board</title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <h1>Something broke! (Error 500)</h1>
  <p>
   It appears something broke when you tried to go to here. This is either
   a bug in Review Board or a server configuration error. Please report
   this to your administrator.
  </p>
 </body>
</title>


where can i find the reviewboard server logs?
I just found the docker logs
stack trace:

Looks like there's a bug in the API. It's passing an incorrect parameter to the hosting service authorization code. We'll have to fix this for 5.0.2, I'm afraid (we can send backports/patches under support contracts, but otherwise it'll have to wait until the next release).

If all instances are going to use the same database, you may be better off not scripting this, but instead creating the accounts manually. An account can be shared across any number of repositories, and isn't needed per-logged-in user. Most installs use only one per hosting service.
