How to login the sharepoint by passing the username and password?

Question

I am using the sharepy and logging to connect the sharepoint. I have used the bellow code to connect

import sharepy
import logging


SPUrl = "https://vvv.sharepoint.com"

username = "[email protected]"
password = "aaa@123"
s = sharepy.connect(SPUrl,username,password)
s.save()

headers = {"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"content-type": "application/x-www-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8"}
fileToUpload = "copyUpload.py"

with open(fileToUpload, 'rb') as read_file:
    content = read_file.read()
p = s.post("https://aaa.sharepoint.com/sites/vvv/_api/web/getfolderbyserverrelativeurl('/sites/aaa/bbb/')/Files/add(url='"+fileToUpload+"',overwrite=true)", data=content, headers=headers)

print(fileToUpload+" Uploaded in SP")
os.remove(fileToUpload)
logging.info("Uploaded file: with response file")

While I am passing the values into the connect function it is throwing the following error

AttributeError: 'SharePointSession' object has no attribute 'cookie'

Suppose, If I didn't pass the value as a argument that time in the terminal it will ask for the username and password after typing the it on the terminal it is working fine.

But how can I make it problematically?

I am facing the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "copyUpload.py", line 18, in <module>
    p = s.post("https://aaa.sharepoint.com/sites/Graphite/_api/web/getfolderbyserverrelativeurl('/sites/aaa/bbb/')/Files/add(url='"+fileToUpload+"',overwrite=true)", data=content, headers=headers)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/sharepy/session.py", line 135, in post
    kwargs["headers"]["Authorization"] = "Bearer " + self._redigest()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/sharepy/session.py", line 111, in _redigest
    data="", headers={"Cookie": self.cookie})
AttributeError: 'SharePointSession' object has no attribute 'cookie'

Answer 1

The library sharepy stores a cookie if the authentication is successful. You can check fore example with

if not hasattr(s, 'cookie'):
    print("authentication failed!"); quit()

if the authentication has failed, before you save the SharePoint session.

Common errors

• wrong username (check that the domain name in your username matches your site)
• wrong password
• wrong site url (NO additional characters after sharepoint.com, especially no "/")
