A thank you for the project and a request for help with initialization utilizing Django and Docker

[catbyte-io]

Hello,

First, thank you so much for making and maintaining this amazing project. There are so few tools for secrets management, and this one does exactly what I am looking for.

I was wondering if you would have an idea on an issue I am experiencing with getting the project initialized. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. I have carefully read the documentation and have just not been able to figure it out for months. I am able to access my project secrets using just the BWS CLI from the command line. However, when I try to set up my project using the python wrapper I receive an error. I am certain I am just doing something that is not quite right, or perhaps it is not compatible with how I am trying to use it.

It seems as if it is having trouble accessing the project id. I am using the wrapper in a Django project and building with Docker. The following is how I am attempting to initialize the BWS wrapper in my settings.py:

from pathlib import Path
from bitwarden_secrets_manager_python import BWS

import os

# Build paths inside the project like this: BASE_DIR / 'subdir'.
BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent

# Quick-start development settings - unsuitable for production
# See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/howto/deployment/checklist/

# Set up Bitwarden Secrets

access_token = os.environ.get("bws_access_token")
cat_bws = BWS(project_name='Project Name', bws_access_token=access_token, bws_path='/usr/local/bin/bws')

I have BWS_ACCESS_TOKEN set in my environment and I have alternatively tried hard coding the token into the code above with the same results.

Here is the error:

Thank you again so much for your time and hard work. Please let me know what other information I can provide that is helpful. Best regards, Catbyte

Hi Catbyte,

Thanks for your kind message.

Can you run the following in your terminal and let me know the output?

/your/path/to/bws project list -c no -t your_access_token

Thank you for your patience. I am currently attempting to fix another environment issue that came up that is preventing me from providing this output. I am working on this as I can so that I can get this to you as soon as possible.
