[Iplant-api-dev] Staging files at iPlant through the API

[Rion Dooley]

Hey Carol,

I found the bug preventing you from creating new folders in your home directory, but I’m unclear whether it’s coming from one of our dependencies or the way the Data Store is assigning identifiers to users and groups. I’m still looking into that with Edwin and the IRODS team, but in the mean time I have a patch that I have verified in Agave and Foundation that appears to work around the issues and get you back up and running. I’m planning on pushing the Foundation patch tomorrow and the Agave patch in the next day or two with a couple other updates. I’ll email when it’s live in each service. Thanks for your patience and feedback. This is actually a really important bug that we would not have run across in our normal unit and integration testing.  You rock.

Hi Carol,

I’ve been working on this for you, but I don’t have an answer quite yet. I should have one for you after lunch. I’m sorry for the delay. You have my word that I will sort this out for you asap.

I was wondering if anyone can help me with the following problem:

We have a very simple workflow with the BioExtract Server that runs a tool on our cluster at USD and then attempts to stage its output file to iPlant through the API to use as input into a tool on lonestar, executed through the API.

Some accounts, including bioextract, are unable to create a directory in their home folder. A curl request such as:

curl -X PUT -vsku "<user>:<auth>" -d "dirName=ShinyNewDirectory&action=mkdir" https://foundation.iplantc.org/io-v1/io/<user>

receives a 403 HTTP response with the following body:

{
    "message": "The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it",
    "result": null,
    "status": "error"
}

The behavior is the same whether authenticating with a password or token.
