Error validating test apps: 'version'

[Res260]

I'm trying to get contentctl to download apps from splunkbase, but there is no documentation as to how to do that, so I have to keep guessing, but I'm running out of ideas.

Here is my command: contentctl test --verbose mode:all

Here is my contentctl.yml:

splunk_api_username: [email protected]
splunk_api_password: hihi
version: 20240925.16.111
path: .
app:
  uid: 42123
  title: 'MyAPP'
  appid: myapp
  version: 20240925.16.111
  description: "MyAPP"
  prefix: MA
  label: 'MyAPP'
  author_name: "MyAPP"
  author_email: [email protected]
  author_company: "MyAPP"
verbose: false
enrichments: false
build_app: true
build_api: false
build_ssa: false
build_path: dist
mode: {}
post_test_behavior: pause_on_failure
enable_integration_testing: false

container_settings:
  leave_running: true
  num_containers: 1
  full_image_path: registry.hub.docker.com/splunk/splunk:latest

I get this error:

Error validating 'contentctl.yml':
Error validating test apps: 'version'

It doesn't matter if I remove the version key from the contentctl.yml file, the error is the same.

Is this a bug or I'm doing something wrong?

It is worth noting that if I remove splunk_api_username and splunk_api_password keys, I get this error instead:

Error validating 'contentctl.yml':
Error validating test apps: Unknown path for app 'Enterprise Security'

I found the bug and it's fixed in #317

Sorry for the delay in getting to this, as we have been helping out with some internal Splunk releases.

Thank you @Res260 , you have been hard at work with some AWESOME fixes and improvements. I admit that downloading apps from Splunkbase is a feature that used to work, but we have not used (or tested it) in quite some time. Thanks for exposing all these issue. I am going to merge all the following fixes/PRs down to a single new branch for evaluation.

Related Bugs:
#295
#319
#321

Related PRs:

#320

I have opened the following PR which will be used to merge + test these changes together:
#322

I will leave these issues open until all of these are reviewed + merged and a new contentctl release it made!
