Comment (by adamwill):
so here's some weirdness: a similar test script works just fine *if I'm
logged in* - I made it save a random URL to trigger the captcha every
time, and checked it really was hitting a captcha, and the page save still
works just fine. So I suspect the reason the test script fails reliably is
that mwclient/wikitcms don't preserve the session across requests if
you're not logged in.
But! Event creation from my fedmsg consumer is still often failing due to
captcha errors, and I just cannot figure out why. The consumer *does* log
in to the wiki. I can run the test-script-with-login on the same box that
does the event creations and it works no trouble. I can create events
manually (which winds up on basically the same codepath as the consumer)
and it seems to work fine. So I just cannot figure out why the consumer
has issues.
Anyhow, if we can't figure out the problem, can we blunt force it? Could
you please captcha whitelist both my IP - 184.71.189.90 - and the IP range
for the QA network in phx2, so if we move event creation into infra it
will also be whitelisted? Thanks.
