tool to expand scope or set of scopes

[jonasfj]

Say I have a role like: assume:repo:github.com/glandium/git-cinnabar:branch:master and I want to know what scopes it gets... I need to call auth.expandScopes it would be nice to have a tool for this...

Note: assume:repo:github.com/glandium/git-cinnabar:branch:<branch> is basically a pattern made up by tc-gh...

[jonasfj]

This is just a nice-to-have quick hack.. Nothing important :)

[djmitche]

The pattern is actually documented as a Taskcluster convention in the namespaces document, and is also supported by mozilla-taskcluster.

[jonasfj]

I probably have no excuse for being too lazy to lookup the right docs...

But yes, namespaces document is where I should look.. still it's nice to be able to expand scopes.

[djmitche]

Yes, I was only disagreeing with your second paragraph. I agree with the first :)

[Biboswan]

Can I work on this.

[djmitche]

Yes! I think this would be an additional view which can take a list of scopes and expand it.

[Biboswan]

I 'm trying await this.props.auth.expandScopes({ scopes: this.state.scopes }) where scopes is an array

Getting error:

TypeError: Failed to execute 'fetch' on 'Window': Request with GET/HEAD method cannot have body.

[djmitche]

Uh, wow. So that API call isn't valid HTTP. That was really stupid of me.

[djmitche]

So it sounds like you're on the right track! Once the change linked above lands, we'll need to upgrade taskcluster-client-web in tools, and then the call you're making should work properly.

[Biboswan]

I see only taskcluster-client-web/src/clients/Auth.js needs an update.

[Biboswan]

Anything else?

[djmitche]

https://github.com/taskcluster/taskcluster-client-web#updating-built-in-apis shows how to update the client and make a PR. I'll try to get to that today, but if you beat me to it and make a PR that's great too :)

[djmitche]

OK, if you `yarn add [email protected]` you should get a working expandScopes.

[eliperelman]

You can shorten that to yarn add taskcluster-client-web.

[Biboswan]

Now I'm getting expandScopes response successfully.:)
