[ome-users] Bad session key

[Paul van Schayck]

Dear developers,

We are running local scripts in an OMERO.py environment on an OMERO
server running on localhost using `OMERO.py/bin/omero script run
path/to/script.py`. From this script we are starting the importer
using `cli.invoke()`. For this to work we have copied jars
`OMERO.server/lib/client` to the `OMERO.py/lib/client`. To prevent
users from double login we are passing the session key to
`cli.invoke()` using the `-k` argument.

So far so good, and this has worked for OMERO 5.0. With OMERO 5.1 we
have run into an issue. We suspect this has to do with the new logic
regarding checking whether an import to a specific group/dataset is
allowed. But the exact cause we have not pin pointed.

The error we get during the script is "Bad session key". We can
replicate this by running the import command separately. See below.
What especially got our attention is the "conflicts:
omero.group:dev!=None;" notice.

By explicitly specifying the group "-g dev" during import this is
fixed. But we don't think this is intended. Nor do we think that the
"Bad session key" error is intended.

Thanks,

Paul van Schayck
