Discourse_theme CLI for unsupported Discourse versions

Hi,

I’m getting Error 403 when trying to run watch for first time.
Console output:
discourse_theme watch .
» Using http://mywebsize.com/ from /Users/davidpesava/.discourse_theme
» Using api key from /Users/davidpesava/.discourse_theme
✘ Error 403 for https://mywebsite.com/about.json

Generated API key is for admin user, I tried --reset multipe times

Multiple people are using the CLI on a day-to-day basis, so I think this is unlikely to be a CLI bug. Can you try using the same API key from curl or something similar?

There are some examples on how to do that near the top of https://docs.discourse.org/

Also, can you show a screenshot of the API key configuration in the Discourse admin panel? (make sure to block out the actual key)

How is your discourse instance set up? Did you follow the standard install guide? Is it in a subfolder? Do you have any reverse proxies enabled?

Just trie few things now, is it possible that problem is in versions? I have lates version of theme CLI but on server is little bit older

can I use older version of theme CLI?

Ah, that would explain it. The theme CLI was recently migrated to use header-based API authentication. That is supported in all current versions of Discourse, including the stable branch.

If you are using an older version of Discourse, I strongly recommend you upgrade ASAP, so that you’re not missing any critical security/bug fixes.

You can do something like

gem install discourse_theme -v "<0.3.0"
