403 on getting list of pages

[mirzadelic]

I tied with steps on docs but couldn't get list of pages, always getting 403 error.

Problem was that I have:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    "DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES": ("rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated",)
}

This is actually a problem, when I remove the default permission class it works. But I think this is not good.

permission_classes on this specific view in the wagtail-transfer project can be [] and it will be solved.

Or is there any other solution that can fix this?

Thanks.

@mirzadelic did you find any other solution by now? :) I'm running into the same problem.

[mirzadelic]

@leongraumans I used custom permission with rest framework:

common/permissions.py:

class WagtailTransferOrIsAuthenticated(IsAuthenticated):
    """
    Allow access to wagtail_transfer.
    """
    def has_permission(self, request, view):
        if view.__module__.split('.')[0] == 'wagtail_transfer':
            return True
        return super().has_permission(request, view)

And in settings.py:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    ...
    "DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES": (
        "common.permissions.WagtailTransferOrIsAuthenticated",
    ),
    ...

I used this as temporary solution, until I transferred, and then reverted to primary permission classes.

Hope this helps you :)

I was getting a 403 error as well but seems to be unrelated to django rest framewrok. It was related to url encoding of some the query parameters leading to mismatched digests.

I've had this problem when the two servers were running different versions of wagtail-transfer
