Known Issue in Ready! API 1.6.0 - Received 401 authorization error

[JKambli]

If you receive this error on upgrade to 1.6.0, check the Auth Manager,

http://readyapi.smartbear.com/features/auth/start

Make sure you have the correct profile loaded in the Auth manager and Environment if you are using Environment feature.

Thanks

On upgrading to 1.6, I have exactly this issue. The Auth Manager is absolutely fine and nothing has changed since I last ran my tests in 1.5. The initial post contains nothing useful, other than an acknowledgement that there is a problem.

Obviously, I can waste my time trying to find a solution for this. Or I can try to revert back to 1.5, which is probably going to be easier and quicker.

In case anyone still needs to know, here's my solution (in 1.8, which I presume is much the same as 1.6 in this regard):

On the Projects tab, select "Auth Manager".

On the window which pops up select "Auth Manager" tab

Here, I found that my root TestSuite was set to "No authorization" and all of the TestCases used the profile that I had set up (with TestSteps inheriting). I changed the root to use the profile and this was inherited downwards.

This fixed the problem (although needed to be repeated for each Environment).
