verify gives error

Whenever I try to use .verify() it gives error. But, on the other hand, I can do queries and all other stuff!

@iamhssingh Hmm you bring up an interesting point actually. It seems the Java driver ran into a similar issue: https://github.com/arangodb/arangodb-java-driver/issues/114.

I will need to make some changes to the python-arango API so all the methods in ArangoClient are also in Database level. So if you are using a non-root user, you would end up having to do something like this:

client = arango.ArangoClient(username='user', password='pass')
client.database('database_which_user_has_access_to').verify()

I will make the changes in the next release. For now, you can do a workaround something like this:

client = arango.ArangoClient(username='user', password='pass')
client.database('database_which_user_has_access_to').properties()  # use this as a ping check for now

Unfortunately this is the best we can do as this is the limitation of ArangoDB REST API (python-arango is just a wrapper around it). I will push the next release sometime this weekend.

Thanks, Joohwan

Hi @iamhssingh

I’ve made the changes in https://github.com/joowani/python-arango/releases/tag/3.8.0. Now you should be able to call verify() using another database. I’ve also made a development branch where you can make pull requests to: https://github.com/joowani/python-arango/tree/dev. Feel free to re-open this issue if you find any problems.

Thanks, Joohwan
