Python - Zeep - Failing to return getLineGroup

[collinsj]

CUCM v14 AXL response via Zeep v3.4.0 has me scratching my head.

Request:  

resp = service.getLineGroup(searchCriteria={'name': 'Billing'},

                                returnedTags={'distributionAlgorithm': ''})

Response:

Exception has occurred: TypeError

{http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/14.0}GetLineGroupReq() got an unexpected keyword argument 'searchCriteria'. Signature: `({name: {http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/14.0}String100} | {uuid: {http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/14.0}XUUID}), returnedTags: {http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/14.0}RLineGroup, sequence: xsd:unsignedLong`

I've tested with uuid as well, but the error message is the same.

Testing via SOAPUI with the same line group name presents the results just fine.  I have other functions in my code, such as listLineGroup that also have name as a parameter that work fine through Zeep.  

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful.

Hi @collinsj,

I tired comparing the AXL Schemas for ListLineGroup and GetLineGroup from here:

https://developer.cisco.com/docs/axl-schema-reference/

I see where ListLineGroup does include Search Criteria + Name

However, GetLineGroup doesn't include a Search Criteria

It looks like you'll need to reformat your request.

Hope this helps!

Ah, ok.   So I tried sequence instead of search criteria, but get a different error:  

  Exception has occurred: Fault 

  No uuid or name element found

I'm not sure how I can structure the call to dig down into that choice element for a proper request from Zeep.

Thanks for that insight Alex.

I was able to figure it out.  Those would need to be keyword arguments and formatted as:

resp = service.getLineGroup(name = 'Billing')
