Cannot seem to login - credentials work on the web #4

Closed cpg closed 13 years ago

cpg commented 13 years ago

hi, this is what i get. I tried serveral times, and made sure the credentials I enter are ok. Incidentally, very interested in making a small widget using this library for Amahi (http://www.amahi.org) - a project I helped create.

I created a new user recently and was able to login to their web site just fine. This is all I get:

... Configuration finished I, [2011-03-05T16:54:44.226545 #31280] INFO -- : Attempting to fetch data for: 2011-03-04 I, [2011-03-05T16:54:44.227055 #31280] INFO -- : Logging in as E, [2011-03-05T16:54:49.450404 #31280] ERROR -- : Login failed.

ideas as to what could be going on?

Hi Carlos, first of all Amahi looks awesome. Somehow I have never run across it till now.

You are using v0.2.1, right? If so there should be a backtrace in that error message. https://github.com/mcolyer/smartermeter/blob/v0.2.1/lib/smartermeter/daemon.rb#L148

If you are handy with ruby can you use ruby-debug there to figure out what that exception is or why it isn't getting set?

It seems like PG&E doesn't have the terms of use page any more, so try reverting fb610ea. I'd do it but I can't figure out how to run the script from my git repo rather than from rubygem.

talisein: I still see the TOS page when I login through a browser.

Unfortunately it looks like they've disabled the weekly downloads that contained the hourly data on my account. Can you confirm whether that's true on your account as well?

talisein commented 13 years ago

Re: TOS page, my bad, it is still there.

Testing on Chrome and Firefox, on my account the "Week" and "Day" periods still have a working download link for hourly data, and I have data posted through the 4th. Nonetheless something is wrong because the last data my script pulled data for was the 1st (which means it broke sometime after 7 pm on the 2nd).

cpg: So I spent a bunch of time debugging this and it turns out in my case the problem is that my server had clock skew, which prevented the cookies from being sent correctly. I would advise you and talisein to check and make sure your clocks are accurate.

Marking this as closed as I can't reproduce this and I haven't heard anything back. If you figure out what is going on feel free to reopen.
