Python/Zeep - failing to trap failure on getLine for non-existent DN

Elliot Dierksen — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 21:34:45 GMT

I have been staring at the AXL schema, but I am not making heads or tails of it. I am trying to figure out what error I should trap when I do a getLine for a DN that doesn't exist. This is the code fragment I have at the moment.

try: adn_search2 = source_axl.getLine(pattern=next_agent_dn,routePartitionName=csf_partition) except Fault: print('adn_search2 failed')

This is the error I am getting.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/home/ebd/CLAUTO/CUCM/./x2e_build.py", line 265, in main adn_search2 = source_axl.getLine(pattern=next_agent_dn,routePartitionName=csf_partition) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/zeep/proxy.py", line 46, in __call__ return self._proxy._binding.send( File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/zeep/wsdl/bindings/soap.py", line 135, in send return self.process_reply(client, operation_obj, response) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/zeep/wsdl/bindings/soap.py", line 229, in process_reply return self.process_error(doc, operation) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/zeep/wsdl/bindings/soap.py", line 329, in process_error raise Fault( zeep.exceptions.Fault: Item not valid: The specified Line was not found During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/home/ebd/CLAUTO/CUCM/./x2e_build.py", line 592, in <module> main() File "/usr/home/ebd/CLAUTO/CUCM/./x2e_build.py", line 266, in main except Fault: NameError: name 'Fault' is not defined

I freely admit that perhaps I am reading the AXL schema incorrectly, but I can't figure out what exception I should try to catch. I even tried looking at ciscoaxl/schema/10.5/AXLSoap.xsd but the answer is still evading me.

Hello Elliot!
That's no problem, that's what the community is there for!

You get a zeep exception!
zeep.exceptions.Fault: Item not valid: The specified Line was not found

1. To catch this exception you need to import the zeep exception module.

from zeep.exceptions import Fault

2. Change your except step to:
except Fault as err:
print(err)

Then you should get this output:
Item not valid: The specified line was not found

Excellent, thanks! I wish I had a better grasp of where to look for this sort of thing on my own. I swear I tried google and searching the community. It doesn't help that I'll have some tasks that I need to do where Python is the perfect tool, and then I might not touch it for months. Thanks again.
