No authentication sent with httpRequestWithAuthentication call

[ChrisHof]

When I call await this.helpers.httpRequestWithAuthentication.call(this, 'httpBasicAuth', options), I get a Forbidden - perhaps check your credentials? error.
If I manually add this before the request, it works fine:

options.auth = {
	password: credentials.password as string,
	username: credentials.user as string
}

But this should be handled by httpRequestWithAuthentication automatically? Having the same problem when trying with oAuth2Api.
No idea what could be missing…

hello @ChrisHof

@ChrisHof

But this should be handled by httpRequestWithAuthentication automatically?

That’s because the field for username in the httpBasicAuth is user, not username

[ChrisHof]

It is in there with user? It’s working if I add options.auth like described above, but I thought I shouldn’t have to manually add anything to httpRequestWithAuthentication to get authentication to work?

When you set the auth object, your ‘user’ field is different from what you get from the credentials.
