Error: looper requires JWT for retrieving public PEP from PEPhub

[nsheff]

I entered a registry path to a public PEP in my looper config.

I ran looper run and I get this error:

looper run -d -l 1 
Looper version: 2.0.0a1
Command: run
Using looper config (.looper.yaml).

pephubclient.exceptions.ResponseError: JWT has expired. Please log in again.

It seems to me it should not error that my JWT has expired if I'm trying to do something that shouldn't need a JWT in the first place.

I'm not sure if this is a bug in looper, or PEPHubClient, or what.

[nsheff]

Two things:

• this shouldn't be a bug (it should not require log in to get a public PEP).
• wherever this message is coming from, can we add to it instructions for how to log in? I don't have that memorized and people encountering this error will be like, "what?" Just add by running 'phc login' -- this means it's probably a pephubclient bug.

[nsheff]

Maybe related to: pepkit/pephubclient#42

[donaldcampbelljr]

I've added some exception messaging to alert the user that they can try running 'phc login' if they get a response error.

[nsheff]

Ok -- I think you did that in the wrong spot though. That should be done in the PEPhubclient error, not here!

[nsheff]

This appears to be a pephub API endpoint bug, actually. if it's public, why is it evaluating credentials? it should only evaluate the JWT if I'm requesting a private resource.
