Bench request command

1

Hello all

I’m trying to figure out how to use the bench request command.

From Frappe Commands

request : Make a request as Administrator with Arguements to a Path

and

bench request --help

gives

–args TEXT arguments like ?cmd=test&key=value or /api/request/method?..
–path TEXT path to request JSON

However I cannot get it to return anything. Has anyone used this command?

I’m using both a RPC method and a REST endpoint to try and get it to work. No matter how I configure the --path and --args parameters, I get either a 404 or the same traceback.

RPC : /api/method/frappe.handler.version

bench request --path /api/request/frappe.handler.version
bench request --path /api/request/method?frappe.handler.version
bench request --path /api/request/method? --args frappe.handler.version
bench request --path /api/method/frappe.handler.version

REST : /api/resource/User

bench request --args /api/request/method/User
bench request --path /api/resource/User
… many other attempts

It makes no difference whether I invoke it as cd frappe-bench; bench --site site1.local request …
All I get is either a 404 or the following traceback.
