Dear all,
I've been working a lot, lately, on the vmanage API and building a tool around it for monitoring purposes. Currently I'm implementing a lot of unittesting to improve the quality of my code. I thought that I had covered all cases with the login and logoff actions, but I couldn't be more wrong!
The vManage will always provide a 200 status_code as long as it gets HTML back. However, the actual error code (locked account?) is then inside the HTML. Besides the fact that this is just plain dumb, here's my real problem: I really suck at regex and have trouble getting the error from the webpage.
As an example, when trying to fetch a cookie, I have the following regex to capture particular errors that might be visible in the HTML (requests.status_code eq 200!!!):
(?<=class=\\\'errorMessageBox \\\'>)(.*?)(?=</p>)
This stuff works pretty well and can return an error such as "INVALID USERNAME OR PASSWORD".
However, the following code is what I get on logout (don't want to leave lingering sessions):

Any suggestions on how to fetch the error out of this one? The furthest I've come is:
(?<=span id=\"errorDetails\">)(.|\n)*?(?=</span>)
The problem with this search is that it works, somewhat, on re.search, but then I only get the positions. re.match returns None.
