Hi dev list,

I'm writing a harvester extension for a v2.2.1 CKAN instance, which 
needs to check if a group exists, and if not, create it. It does this 
using get_action('group_show')(context, data_dict).

When I run the harvester, though, I get this error: TypeError: No object 
(name: request) has been registered for this thread

It seems that the package_search action checks all the extensions for 
before_search methods 
(https://github.com/ckan/ckan/blob/release-v2.2.1/ckan/logic/action/get.py#L1445). 
The multilingual core extension has such a method, which includes this 
line 
(https://github.com/ckan/ckan/blob/release-v2.0.4/ckanext/multilingual/plugin.py#L153):

current_lang = pylons.request.environ['CKAN_LANG']

I guess that since I'm calling this function in a command-line context, 
not via the website, there is no Pylons request and I get the error shown.

The weird thing is that none of this code seems to have changed since 
v2.0.4, and other harvesters with this code run just fine on my v2.0.4 
instances! As a temporary workaround, I've just removed all the 
multilingual extensions from my development.ini, and the harvester 
works. This isn't a good long-term solution, though. Does anyone have 
any insight on what I could do better, or if this is a bug in v2.2.1? 
Code snippet and stack trace are pasted below.

Thanks,
Rachel


Method in my harvester:

     def _find_or_create_groups(self, groups, context):
         log.debug('Group names: %s' % groups)
         group_ids = []
         for group_name in groups:
             data_dict = {
                 'id': group_name,
                 'name': munge_title_to_name(group_name),
                 'title': group_name
             }
             try:
                 group = get_action('group_show')(context, data_dict)
                 log.info('found the group ' + group['id'])
             except:
                 group = get_action('group_create')(context, data_dict)
                 log.info('created the group ' + group['id'])
             group_ids.append(group['id'])

         log.debug('Group ids: %s' % group_ids)
         return group_ids
