[Feature]: Further improve Globus integration via globus_sdk.UserApp #413
Description
How will this affect the next version number?
Small improvement (increment PATCH version)
Is your feature request related to a problem?
There have been several Globus authentication/integration issues to resolve. Some of these have fixes already, but in any case, zstash could benefit from improved Globus integration.
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Token timeout (step 6 from the list in #339) | #407 (potentially already fixed on main via #380 & #397) |
Tar files not deleting when --non-blocking is set: #374 |
#405 (+ the test in #404) |
update too slow for HR: #409 |
#411 (closed), #412 |
check too slow for HR: #410 |
#411 (closed), #412 |
| Better handle token file (i.e., store multiple tokens, allow user to specify a token file): #398 | #408 |
| Support Globus 4.0: #395 | #406 |
Note: #409/#410 aren't actually Globus-specific.
Describe the solution you'd like
@NickolausDS suggested using globus_sdk.UserApp. For example:
with globus_sdk.UserApp(
"detect-data-access-example", client_id=NATIVE_CLIENT_ID
) as app:
# Handles saving/loading tokens
transfer_client = globus_sdk.TransferClient(app=app)
It would also be useful to review https://globus-sdk-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user_guide/usage_patterns/data_transfer/detecting_data_access/index.html.
