Issue

I am trying to publish a python package to my companies Azure DevOps Artifacts. I have built the package using poetry. A run the following at the command line:

❯ poetry --version

❯ poetry config repositories.azure https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/.../pypi/upload

I have used Poetry to publish to public repos before. But not Azure or private repos. I have a hunch there may be an issue with Azure Artifacts keyring. The Azure documentation suggests to use twine, and you authenticate with the Azure keyring.

Lastly I tried to copy the code from https://www.nuomiphp.com/eplan/en/104789.html, but I was met with the same error when following this template.

Any ideas on how to publish to Azure Artifacts?

Quick update. I was able to find a work around. I proceeded with Poetry package development as I normally would. Instead of using Poetry to publish at the end though I used:

> poetry build
> twine upload -r azure dist/*

For this to work I just followed the instructions Azure Artifacts provides for using Twine.

Are there any risks to doing it this way? Seems like it worked for me.

I was able to upload it for our azsure devops server.

We use the upload tokens in the connect feed dialog ( the one under "Upload packages with twine")

Make sure they are in the auth.toml in $HOME/.config/pypoetry/auth.toml

[http-basic]
[http-basic.myfoorepo]
username= ... 
password= ....

then poetry publish -r myfoorepo should work

Thanks for the feedback @maxab. Our of curiosity were you able to use Poetry with Azure Pipelines?

[mxab]

I'm still a bit confused by Microsofts naming of TFS, Devops and Azure Pipelines. But if you mean the hosted build things, this I haven't tried so only used it in the on-prem installation.

But in general don't you have some kind of secret store there which you then can interpolate during the run. Something like:

poetry publish -u $(username) -p $(password) ...

Hi, original developer of artifacts-keyring and occasional keyring contributor here 👋

In short, artifacts-keyring wraps up a separate tool that is able to use locally cached Azure DevOps credentials (or pop up a login window) to get a temporary access token to Azure Artifacts. This token isn't tied to the user's username, but comes with the username. To support this in keyring, we added the get_credential API.

It looks like Poetry is currently only using the get_password API (here), which requires a known username. get_credential may accept a username (it's optional), and returns an object that provides both username and password to use.

If the version of keyring you find has get_credential, that's the only one you need to call - backends that don't support it will automatically use the result from get_password. However, if you don't have a username, you can still call get_credential with the index URL to have it generate a valid credential. (It looks like Poetry currently creates its own entry names, which won't work with the artifacts-keyring backend - we need at least the https://dev.azure.com/<name> part of the URL, and fail quickly for any query that doesn't match this.)

There should be no harm in deferring the get_credential call until a 401 has been received, and it's fine to pass the target URL with an always empty username (to avoid looking up any stored credentials). There ought not be a need to specifically search for the presence of the keyring backend.

poetry publish works when used along with personal access token of Azure Artifacts.

export POETRY_REPOSITORIES_AZURE_URL="<FEED URL>"
export POETRY_HTTP_BASIC_AZURE_USERNAME="<Any Thing>"
export POETRY_HTTP_BASIC_AZURE_PASSWORD="<personal access token>"

Note: When using personal access token, username is not required and can be anything

Then, finally, you can upload to Artifacts using the publish command

poetry publish -r azure --build

https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/pull/4086 may partially resolve the authentication issue.
