Getting Error with bric_soap & cron

Apr 23, 2009, 2:04 AM

Post #1 of 5 (3890 views)

Hi all,

I have a cron job that calls:

bric_soap --search desk_id=1036 story list_ids

This runs ok usually but between 00:00 and 03:00 I often get an error:

Can't call method "fault" on an undefined value at
/usr/local/bricolage/bin/bric_soap line 436

Which points to this:

430 # login
431 if (!$use_cookie) {
432 print STDERR "$module $command: Authenticating to Bricolage...\n"
433 if $verbose;
434 my $response = $soap->login(name(username => $username),
435 name(password => $password));
436 die "Login failed.\n" if $response->fault; # <<<--- ERROR HERE
437 print STDERR "$module $command: Login success.\n" if $verbose;
438 } else {
439 print STDERR "$module $command: Attempting to use cookie file
$use_cookie\n"
440 if $verbose;
441 }

So, Im guessing that this should probably re-written as:

my $response = $soap->login(name(username => $username),
name(password => $password))
|| die "Login failed: $!\n";

And remove the line that checks for "$response->fault", since at the
time $response would not be defined if the previous call to
"$soap->login()" fails.

I haven't tested this yet as it seems to be working for the moment. So,
does this look like a good fix for the error I'm getting or is there a
better way?

Adeola.

Forgot to mention that I'm running Bric 1.11.2 on Linux.

Also, there is no check to see if $soap is defined as the problem could
also be from that. So this is also a possible fix (diff):

OK. I started getting the error again and it fails at the line above with:

"Login failed: Bad file descriptor"

Huh??? I don't know what that means!? Anyone got any ideas?
