CUCM AXL update_phone fails

mserwon — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 17:26:25 GMT

I have a phone SEPF04A02EEED5B that I am trying to update using AXL. I am starting simply by using the githubCiscoDevNet/axl-python-zeep-samples as much as possible and just trying to update the phone description. However when I run the python script I get the following typeerror: choice elements only work with keyword arguments.

Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: Choice elements only work with keyword arguments

I enclosed the python code.

Try this instead:

resp = service.updatePhone( name = 'SEPF04A02EEED5B', description = 'Test axl description' )

add operations can use JSON, but update operations need a choice element (name, in this case).

EDITED TO ADD: 'SEPF04A02EEED5B', -- in my browser that looks like a semicolon. It's not. It's an end quote and a comma.
