Wrong format output of get_job_output #29

Closed magrinj closed 5 years ago

magrinj commented 7 years ago

I try to face against something strange, in your code you in the output of "get_job_ouput", the variable "body" should contain a string parsable to Json, but for me if I print this value: job_output['body'].read().decode('utf-8') I got something to csv format, I try to take a look at the boto3 documentation and I don't find any solution to change the output format for the moment :/ I try to use initiate_job function to specify the Format variable to JSON, but I don't understand how this function works... So if anyone got the same problem and can help me :D

I think what happened is that at some point you created an inventory retrieval job that specified the CSV output format. Maybe by error. Then when glacier-vault-remove looks at the jobs, it sees that job and tries to get its output, csv data. To remove that error, you'd have to manually remove that inventory retrieval job

I had/have the same problem and I validated that my job was in json format.

TLDR I used one of the scripts here: https://gist.github.com/Remiii/507f500b5c4e801e4ddc

Ok, I did some more experimenting, and here is how I got it to work:

First, you need python 3: sudo apt install python3 sudo apt install python3-setuptools sudo python3 setup.py install

then it worked. Basically, it looks like this script is not compatible with python 2

Closing as this is quite old. Feel free to let us know if that's still an issue.
