Error from getting Basic Auth credentials script

[Ron28]

Hello, 

I'm scripting a Flow designer action where I need to get Basic Auth credentials.
My code is a copy from the api documentation, and in a scoped app. ServiceNow documentation is here - https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/reference/api/washingtondc/server/sn_cc-namespace/standard...

The error I am getting on the getCredentialById function call:

Evaluator: com.glide.script.RhinoEcmaError: Cannot find default value for object.
Process Automation.f56e6f3b1b6a0610159e433c8b4bcb54 : Line(3) column(0)
1: (function execute(inputs, outputs) {

2: let provider = sn_cc.StandardCredentialsProvider()

==> 3: let creds = provider.getCredentialByID('0d9982751baf7a506e15c9543b4bcb85')

4: outputs.username = creds.getAttribute('user_name')

5: outputs.password = creds.getAttribute('password')

6: })(inputs, outputs)

I know the sys_id of the record is valid, so it isn't that. The error I get is the same for doing this in my scoped app as well as running the first 2 lines of the above script in "background scripts".

Any idea how to get around this?

Thanks
Ron

Searching the logs, there is one additional error but is not shown in the execution record:

txid=cca073b71b6a GlideRecord WARNING *** WARNING *** GlideRecord newGlideRecord() called with invalid table name: Process Automation

I would think the newGlideRecord call is inside the getCredentialById() script include?

The plot thickens, the error appears related to table sn_nowassist_skill_config, I found the following in the logs just prior to the "invalid table name" error:

txid=cca073b71b6a GlideRecord WARNING *** WARNING *** Get for non-existent record: sn_nowassist_skill_config:047dbe24434131100b7b5586bab8f25d, initializing
txid=cca073b71b6a GlideRecord WARNING *** WARNING *** GlideRecord newGlideRecord() called with invalid table name: Process Automation
txid=cca073b71b6a SysLog WARNING *** WARNING *** Evaluator: com.glide.script.RhinoEcmaError: Cannot find default value for object.

The sn_nowassist_skill_config table has no records in our system.

I gather this only works for credentials records, not for Basic Auth as used in REST messages. The REST Message V2 API has setAuthenticationProfile to add a Basic Auth config record.
