EARTHDATA_TOKEN Authentication fails

[gitkief]

I try to authenticate using a token. Following the docs I execute auth = earthaccess.login(strategy="environment") with the environment var EARTHDATA_TOKEN set. Unfortunately, I get an error earthaccess.exceptions.LoginStrategyUnavailable: EARTHDATA_USERNAME and EARTHDATA_PASSWORD are not set in the current environment. I suspect I’m missing something obvious — any pointers would be appreciated.

Can you please share the version of earthaccess you're using?

import earthaccess
print(earthaccess.__version__)

[gitkief]

Thank you very much for the quick reply! I’ve installed version 0.14.0 from conda-forge using pixi, and confirmed it using the __version__ attribute, as you suggested.

Thanks for confirming! @betolink I see your 👀 reaction, did you reproduce this?

[gitkief]

@mfisher87 Thank you for driving the discussion. Just a small update — in the meantime, I realized that the token-only authentication is a new functionality introduced in PR #1020. From what I understand in the CHANGELOG, this feature is not included in version 0.14.0. If that’s the case, then perhaps the source of my confusion is that the “latest” documentation does not reflect the state of the latest release (0.14.0 at the moment), but rather the state of the main branch, which already includes this functionality.

[mfisher87]

Great eye. I thought we had released that! We should probably switch the default documentation endpoint to "stable", which should reflect the latest release.

#1066 Thanks for pointing this out!

[gitkief]

@mfisher87 I think #1066 is a good improvement, thank you again for the quick response!
