This could indicate that your username or password is incorrect, are you
sure you didn't mistype the password or something?

Could you try setting the BZR_LP_XMLRPC_URL to
https://xmlrpc.staging.launchpad.net/bazaar and try again? If that
doesn't work either, it'd be good if you could try using bzr
0.15candidate0 as well. I successfully registered a branch on staging
with that version.

Sorry, I posted the wrong traceback. That was my test with a bad password to make sure it was a different error.
This is what I get with the right password:

bzr: ERROR: xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault -1: "Unexpected Zope exception: ForbiddenAttribute: ('publishTraverse', <canonical.launchpad.webapp.publisher.RedirectionView object at 0x131aa110>)">

bzr 0.16.0dev0 on python 2.4.3.final.0 (linux2)
arguments: ['/home/jameinel/bin/bzr', 'reg', 'raise helpful errors for knit corruption.']

** please send this report to <email address hidden>

I'll try the alternative URL next.

When I use:

BZR_LP_XMLRPC_URL=https://xmlrpc.staging.launchpad.net/bazaar

It succeeds without complaint. (Though it naturally doesn't add it to the running list of registered branches)

Oh, this traceback is a bit more helpful. My initial guess is that it
has something to do with you being in the Beta Tester team, so you get
re-directed to beta. I'm assigning it to James, since he wrote the
redirection code.

> I'll try the alternative URL next.

Could you please try setting BZR_LP_XMLRPC_URL to
https://xmlrpc.beta.launchpad.net/bazaar/ and try again? If that works
it's indeed the automatic redirection to beta that is the problem.

Check. Using:
BZR_LP_XMLRPC_URL=https://xmlrpc.beta.launchpad.net/bazaar/

does indeed succeed. And I can see the branch listed in my personal branch listing. So the registration has succeeded. I'll update the bug description.

Well, the workaround now seems to be broken.

If I do:
BZR_LP_XMLRPC_URL='https://beta.launchpad.net/bazaar/'

I get the error:
bzr: ERROR: xmlrpc protocol error connecting to https://beta.launchpad.net/bazaar/: 303 See Other

If I don't use anything, I get the original error:
bzr: ERROR: xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault -1: "Unexpected Zope exception: ForbiddenAttribute: ('publishTraverse', <canonical.l
aunchpad.webapp.publisher.RedirectionView object at 0x2aaac286b910>)">

And if I use:
BZR_LP_XMLRPC_URL='http://beta.launchpad.net/bazaar/'

I get:
  File "/local/01/system/srv/bzr/public/mirrors/bzr.dev/bzrlib/plugins/launchpad/lp_registration.py", line 113, in send_
request
    raise NotImplementedError("should resend request to %s, but this isn't implemented"
NotImplementedError: should resend request to https://beta.launchpad.net/bazaar/, but this isn't implemented

John: if you want to do XML-RPC, it needs to be against the XML-RPC hostname to be routed to the right place. For the beta site, that is xmlrpc.beta.launchpad.net -- not beta.launchpad.net.

John, is this fixed now?

I seem to be able to register a branch even though I'm part of the beta tester team. So it does, indeed, seem to be fixed.

Thats because we use edge by default now :).
