Your LimeSurvey version: LTS (3.28)
Hi,
I am developing a wrapper package to call the Remote Control 2 API from Julia.
I also want to automatically test the endpoints using CI. For this I set up a Docker container with a custom `config.php` that exposes the API endpoints:
Code:
'config'=>array(
// debug: Set this to 1 if you are looking for errors. If you still get no errors after enabling this
// then please check your error-logs - either in your hosting provider admin panel or in some /logs directory
// on your webspace.
// LimeSurvey developers: Set this to 2 to additionally display STRICT PHP error messages and put MySQL in STRICT mode and get full access to standard themes
'debug'=>0,
'debugsql'=>0,
// 'force_xmlsettings_for_survey_rendering' => true, // Uncomment if you want to force the use of the XML file rather than DB (for easy theme development)
// 'use_asset_manager'=>true, // Uncomment if you want to use debug mode and asset manager at the same time
// Update default LimeSurvey config here
'RPCInterface'=>'json',
'rpc_publish_api' => true,
'maxLoginAttempt' => 10,
)
When testing this on the latest LimeSurvey version it already works great, but on the LimeSurvey LTS release (3.28) the login request (`get_session_key`) fails with `Invalid user name or password` error.
Only once I try login from the web interface (`/admin`) the Remote Control 2 API also begins to work (even if the web login fails) and I can run the tests as usual.
Do you have any hints on what is happening here? Is there something I can do to make the API work on LTS even if I don't login in the web interface first? Obviously that is not an option when running the tests in the CI pipeline.
