Issue raising error when logging in

[tommygod3]

The exception caught by:

pyramid-phoenix/phoenix/account/base.py

Line 171 in 5c5a4f7

return self.login_failure(message=result.error.message)

doesn't always have a .message attribute. Using str(result.error) works will all exceptions.

Error goes from:

where the true error is obscured, to:

where the true error can be seen.

[tommygod3]

The error that can be seen in the second image seems to be a problem with the authomatic library by the way, not with Phoenix. authomatic/authomatic#199

[cehbrecht]

Since authomatic is not so well maintained we might skip it and move to oauthlib only, maybe together with pyramid-oauthlib. We would have logins for CEDA/ESGF, github, google, ...

[tommygod3]

Sounds like a good solution to me.

[cehbrecht]

would you like to give it a try?

[tommygod3]

Yeah I can give it a try, removing authomatic and consequently OpenID, and instead using oauthlib sounds good. I will develop these changes in cedadev/pyramid-phoenix so I can collaborate with @watucker

@cehbrecht Unfortunately my last day on placement is tomorrow and I never had the time to look at doing this
