1195455 - Can't push to review repo without specifying username/password credentials

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MozReview Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Botond Ballo [:botond]]

Recently, I've stopped being able to push to MozReview repos using my Bugzilla login cookie for authentication - I had to start specifying my Bugzilla username and password explicitly.

The error message I get when I try to push without specifying my username/password is:

  abort: invalid Bugzilla login cookie; is it expired?

I tried specifying the cookies manually as described in [1], but that didn't help - I get the same error. I verified that I'm using the same cookies that are used in a current authenticated Bugzilla session.

This is very frustrating because I don't like storing my password in cleartext in a file, or typing it on the command-line which gets logged to a file.

Please let me know if there's any further information I can provide to help diagnose the problem.
