lidderupk opened a new issue #192: Binding to IBMCloud cloudant instance
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-package-cloudant/issues/192
 
 
   The instructions under `Setting up a Cloudant database in Bluemix` are not working for me with `wsk package refresh`. However, I am able to use `ic fn service bind` command. 
   
   ```
   ic fn package refresh                                                                                                                                                                      
   >> error: Package refresh for namespace '_' failed: The connection failed, or timed out. (HTTP status code 401)
   ```
   
   Instead the following works:
   1. Bind /whisk.system/ package to a local named package
   `ic fn package bind /whisk.system/cloudant my-cloudant-package`
   2. Bind your cloudant service to the new package
   `ic fn service bind cloudantnosqldb my-cloudant-package --instance <your ibmcloud cloudant instance name>`
   3. You should now see the cloudant credentials in your package. You can now use the changes feed or the actions available in my-cloudant-package
   `ic fn package get my-cloudant-package`
   
   I think we should correct `refresh` usage if I am doing it incorrectly and also add the `ic fn service bind` way. Happy to create a PR if you can verify this issue. Thank you !
