Hi there, trying to deploy to MTurk, but get the error below when trying to Publish HIT to sandbox:

WSL Ubuntu: 22.04
otree: 5.10.1 (Installed otree[mturk])
python: 3.9.15


Error:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Any ideas?
Thanks

Can you put a print statement in this file:

/mnt/d/venv/otree5p9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/otree/mturk_client.py

Before that line in the traceback, put:

print(exc.read().decode('utf8'))

What is the output?

Hi Chris, this is the output:

{"__type":"UnrecognizedClientException","message":"The security token included in the request is invalid."}

I guess this points to invalid AWS keys - I made a couple up for testing. My keys are:

AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=asfdghhj
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=swinljnsov

The key creation instructions here: https://otree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mturk.html#local-sandbox-testing look very different to the ones on the current AWS site, and the link to the AWS site no longer works.

I couldn't figure out how to generate them using the AWS Certificate Manager. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks

... Sorry, I meant the Key Manager Service (Not ACM)
