load_components_and_configurations fails when trying to get all components and configurations from one QM project area

[peternge]

Hi there,

First of all - I am not an OSLC expert, just a user who wants to do something with this package.

Currently I am a user which has access only to some particular QM project areas (not all project areas).
So when trying to find a specific component (which is accessible to me), I use this simple code snipped:

import elmclient.server as elmserver
...

obj_server = elmserver.JazzTeamServer(str_host, str_user, str_pass, verifysslcerts=False, jtsappstring="jts:jts", appstring="qm", cachingcontrol=0)
obj_app = obj_server.find_app('qm', ok_to_create=True)
obj_project = obj_app.find_project(str_project_area_name)
obj_component = obj_project.find_local_component(str_component_name)

Which throws the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\XXX\.venv\Lib\site-packages\elmclient\_qm.py", line 296, in find_local_component
    self.load_components_and_configurations()

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://host/qm/oslc_config/resources/com.ibm.team.vvc.Component

When trying to access the URL https://host/qm/oslc_config/resources/com.ibm.team.vvc.Component using my web browser, I get the following error message displayed:

The user "XXX" does not have permission to read item "_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", which has the "ProjectArea" item type.

It seems that it querys all components of all project areas - including those which are not accessible for me - for some reason.
Does anybody know how to evade this issue?

Are you using the most recent elmclient version 0.26? Which version of Python, is it from python.org?

What version+ifix of ELM are you using?

I've found this defect is probably the cause of errors when you don't have read access to a project https://jazz.net/jazz02/web/projects/Rational%20Quality%20Manager#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=189010

It's resolved in 7.0.3.

I'm afraid that until you can upgrade to 7.0.3 the only really practicable workaround are to be made a member of every project, or get JazzAdmin privilege :-o

Hello,
For information I'm still facing the exact same issue even with ELM 7.0.3 and the version 0.34.0 of the ELM-Python-Client :/

Is there any workaround to force the component and config definition by providing directly their URI without using this URL https://host/qm/oslc_config/resources/com.ibm.team.vvc.Component ?

Hi,
I am also facing the same issue and one thing is i modified find project function to access project using item id as project name was not working for QM. Can you please help us asap.

Hi - is your user a member of the project?
