Rackspace provider not getting token from the identity API

Update: solved! See my comment below.

I’m just starting out with lexicon and trying to get it working with Rackspace Cloud DNS. Requests are failing with a requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 401 Client Error: Resource not found for validate token request error. With debugging on, it appears lexicon is not requesting a token from https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/tokens before it continues to submit a reqeuset to https://dns.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/….

Here’s the command I’m running:

lexicon rackspace --log_level DEBUG --auth-username myusername --auth-api-key XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX list example.com A

And here’s the output:

Arguments: Namespace(action='list', auth_account=None, auth_api_key='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', auth_token=None, auth_username='myusername', content=None, delegated=None, domain='example.com', identifier=None, log_level='DEBUG', name=None, output='TABLE', priority=None, provider_name='rackspace', sleep_time=1, ttl=None, type='A')

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 401 Client Error: Resource not found for validate token request for url: https://dns.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/None/domains?name=example.com

Of course, this request will fail if is no token has been received from the identity.api.rackspacecloud.com API endpoint.

I’m happy to help troubleshoot, but I thought I’d ask first if I’m using the correct parameters for the rackspace provider.

I submitted a pull request. With this change, I can do

lexicon rackspace list [DOMAIN] CNAME --auth-username [rackspace username] --auth-api-key [rackspace api_key]

and don’t need to specify any tenant/account ID. Thanks for the nudge @quinncomendant 👍

This looks great. Thanks @rmarscher
