foss_cli: Not able to upload a file (error:fossology.exceptions.FossologyApiError: Upload upload via foss-cli could not be performed: Require uploadType (400))

[IrinSamuel]

Hi,

I installed fossology 3.2.0 and used the foss_cli. The fossology server is spinned up using docker and available and running at http://localhost:8081/repo
These are the commands followed:

1. foss_cli config
2. foss_cli -vv create_group FossGroup
3. foss_cli -vv create_folder FossFolder --folder_group FossGroup --folder_description "Description of FossFolder"
4. foss_cli -vv upload_file --folder_name FossFolder --access_level public /mnt/c/Users/xxx/Downloads/xxx.tar.gz

Step1 to 3 works, but for Step4, this is the output I get,

I also tried different other type of files (*.zip, *.txt) to upload, but could not do it successfully. However, uploading manually is successfull. Can you let me know what is wrong.

Thanks and regards,

Dear @IrinSamuel,

thanks for the very precise bug report. This error has been fixed in version 3.2.1: https://github.com/fossology/fossology-python/releases/tag/v3.2.1.

Can you give it a try?

[IrinSamuel]

Hi @deveaud-m

Thanks for your answer. I tried now with the latest v3.2.1 and it works. However, this release is not available with pip install https://pypi.org/project/fossology/

The latest there is still 3.2.0. Can you please add this release there as well so that I can use it with pip and not do a manual install?

Thanks and regards,
Irin

@deveaud-m any updates on this one? Can you publish 3.2.1 to pypi.org
