How to use a PyArtifactory client without auth?

[NiklasRosenstein]

How can I create a PyArtifactory client without authentication? I would like to access an Artifactory instance anonymously.

Hey @NiklasRosenstein, it is not possible to access an Artifactory instance anonymously using this library. You need to authenticate yourself using username/password.

I was able to work around this with a bit of hackery:

from typing import Tuple

from pyartifactory import Artifactory as _Artifactory
from pyartifactory.objects.object import ArtifactoryObject
from pydantic import SecretStr


class Artifactory(_Artifactory):
    """
    Extends the Artifactory client to permit anonymous access.
    """

    def __init__(
        self,
        url: str,
        auth: Tuple[str, SecretStr | str] | None,
        verify: bool | str = True,
        cert: str | None = None,
        api_version: int = 1,
    ):
        if anonymous := auth is None:
            auth = ("", SecretStr(""))
        else:
            user, password = auth
            if not isinstance(password, SecretStr):
                password = SecretStr(password)
            auth = (user, password)

        super().__init__(url, auth, verify, cert, api_version)

        if anonymous:
            for value in vars(self).values():
                if isinstance(value, ArtifactoryObject):
                    value._auth = None  # type: ignore[assignment]

Hey @NiklasRosenstein, it is now possible to access Artifactory instances anonymously in v2.7.0
