AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'description'

Hello again fellow developers!

I come to you yet again in distress and in need of an answer.

I am trying to use the model under to retrieve interface information:

import ydk.models.cisco_ios_xr.Cisco_IOS_XR_ifmgr_cfg as ifmgr_cfg

The code:

model = ifmgr_cfg.InterfaceConfigurations()
intconf = ifmgr_cfg.InterfaceConfigurations.InterfaceConfiguration()
intconf.interface_name = "TenGigE0/0/0/11.910240030"
model.interface_configuration.append(intconf)

interface = NetconfService().get(provider=getProvider(), read_filter=intconf)

print(interface.description)

Log output:

      </interface-configuration>
    </interface-configurations>
  </data>
</rpc-reply>

My result:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'description'

I am following the doc from here:

http://ydk.cisco.com/py/docs/gen_doc_dfe42d73c3f4f1961e486d4f23a11f136f62317a.html#ydk.models.cisco_ios_xr.Cisco_IOS_XR_ifmgr_cfg.InterfaceConfigurations.InterfaceConfiguration

Do you mind pointing me in the direction of my mistake?

Kind regards,

Simon Johansen

Hi Simon

The issue here is that list element interface-configuration has two keys: active and interface-name.

  container interface-configurations {
    description
      "interface configurations";
    list interface-configuration {
      key "active interface-name";
      description
        "The configuration for an interface";

Based on the device output you should have:

model = ifmgr_cfg.InterfaceConfigurations()
intconf = ifmgr_cfg.InterfaceConfigurations.InterfaceConfiguration()
intconf.interface_name = "TenGigE0/0/0/11.910240030"
intconf.active = 'act'
model.interface_configuration.append(intconf)

interface = NetconfService().get(provider=getProvider(), read_filter=intconf)

print(interface.description)
