3 years ago @cdflint thanks for reporting. While you have the correct workaround, we will find if beautifulsoup can be added to the default env. We may have to work out the licensing aspects of including it in our software.

3 years ago I looked at the earlier conversations around this topic and we made a decision to remove it from the list of core dependencies since it is only required for oAuth interactive sign in workflows and also because it can be a big package. We are looking at an alternate solution for this workflow in the next version. So I will close this for now.

1 year ago Hi! The decision to leave out bs4 from the standard environment is as pity. Webscraping is a common workflow to get Data into a GIS portal, and the lack of support for BeautifulSoup means that skripts and skript tools developed for AGOL or ArcGIS Pro using Beautifulsoup can't be published or used on a portal, or at least not without major pains. :(((
The default arcgispro-py3 environment in ArcGIS Pro v2.8.0 is missing bs4 as required by arcgis\gis_impl_con\connection.py in _oauth_token(self)
Steps to reproduce the behavior: Clone or use default arcgispro-py3 environment.
Attempt to connect to GIS enterprise portal or AGOL with locally stored credentials or similar means to trigger _oauth_token method.
error:
Expected behavior authenticated access to GIS enterprise portal or AGOL with provided credentials.
Platform (please complete the following information):
Additional context Interim measure install bs4==4.9.3 in cloned environment, however any further cloned env's will require this mitigation to ensure proper connectivity to GIS portal's or AGOL. Without using administrator privilege's and editing the arcigspro-py3 env this cannot be done at the default environment and another authentication method should be used.
