Downloading Dependencies of an Environment is getting failed with error " prompt_for_password, ask_input and EOFError "

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

An error occurs when downloading dependencies of an environment, because a password entry is expected:

File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip/_internal/network/auth.py", line 500, in handle_401
username, password, save = self._prompt_for_password(parsed.netloc)

File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip/_internal/network/auth.py", line 455, in _prompt_for_password
username = ask_input(f"User for {netloc}: ") if self.prompting else None

File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip/_internal/utils/misc.py", line 255, in ask_input
return input(message)

EOFError: EOF when reading a line

Environment

Aria Automation Orchestrator 8.18.0 and above

Cause

The Action Environments UI allows to enter username and password for authentication against a remote NodeJS, Python or PowerShell repository. These credentials were never queried and used. This issue has been fixed.

Resolution

Issue will be Fixed on VCF Automation 9.0
