[ Key Error: 'activity inbox' ] after python line: [ print pump.me.inbox ] with mediagoblin webfinger

[dylanjeffers]

after verifying mediagoblin account in both pypump-shell and manually via command line, above error occurs when trying to access user's inbox. Note the line [print pump.me] does not return an error.

Can you post output of pump.me.published and pump.me.links ?

[dylanjeffers]

In [1]: print pump.me.published
None

In [2]: print pump.me.links
{'self': 'https://goblin-jeffers.pagekite.me/api/user/SapienTech/profile'}

[kabniel]

[1] tells me that PyPump fails to load the user profile from server

if you run $ pypump-shell SapienTech@goblin-jeffers.pagekite.me --log=debug then pump.me

you'll probably see DEBUG:requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:"GET /api/user/SapienTech/profile HTTP/1.1" 400 38 on the last row, not sure why you get a http error 400 though..

yes I am getting that. I set up mediagoblin following the instructions on https://wiki.mediagoblin.org/HackingHowto and am currently running the server with $ ./bin/paster serve paste.ini --reload and $ CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE=mediagoblin.init.celery.from_celery ./bin/celeryd
Should I instead follow the instructions on http://mediagoblin.readthedocs.org/en/stable/ ?

[kabniel]

I think the problem might be that you have some upper case letters in your user name, and we are not handling it properly.
It would be helpful if you could try to register another user with only lower case letters in the name, and see if you get the same error with that user in pypump.

@SapienTech any update on this?

[dylanjeffers]

@moggers87 sorry for the delay on this! will get back to you in the coming days
