Python SDK client.tasks.create_from_data does not work

[PMazarovich]

Current Behaviour

Try upload the remote file into cvat with this code:

with Client('localhost:8080') as client:
    client.login(('test', 'test'))
    task_spec = {
        "name": "testNAME",
        "project_id": 1,
        "assignee_id": 1,
    }
    client.tasks.create_from_data(spec=task_spec, resource_type=ResourceType.REMOTE, resources=["http://192.168.48.12:85/blabalbla.mp4"])

You will get url in additional quotes, that leads to an error in cvat server def _validate_url(url) failure as url looks like '"http://192.168.48.12:85/blabalbla.mp4"'.

Your Environment

CVAT 2.2.0

Hi, @PMazarovich

I am not sure that 192.168.48.12:85 is reachable from a docker container. Did you check it?

[PMazarovich]

Hello, @bsekachev , I am sure, this address is reachable. I can upload video from this address using "remote sources" from UI

Okay, let's mark it as a bug, need to investigate.

@zhiltsov-max Do you have some ideas why it does not work with SDK? Can it be related with that Client was initialized by 'localhost:8080'?

[zhiltsov-max]

@PMazarovich, could you please specify the SDK version? There was a fixed issue, which may be related - #4962.

[PMazarovich]

@zhiltsov-max , 2.1.0.post1

[zhiltsov-max]

Could you please try to upgrade to the latest version with pip install --upgrade cvat-cli, if possible? Note that the latest release is for 2.3.0 and there was no dedicated release for 2.2.0, so there might be some issues when using it with 2.2.0. In that case, you will need to generate the SDK from the 2.2.0 release branch, the instructions are here.

@zhiltsov-max , @bsekachev after updating cli and sdk all worked
Thanks!
