VersionOne.SDK.Python Exception while creating story

When I call Create API from the python console, It gives following exception.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 3, in <module>
  File "C:\Python27\lib\v1pysdk\base_asset.py", line 44, in create
    return Class._v1_v1meta.create_asset(Class._v1_asset_type_name, newdata)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\v1pysdk\v1meta.py", line 128, in create_asset
    new_asset_xml = self.server.create_asset(asset_type_name,  update_doc)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\v1pysdk\client.py", line 202, in create_asset
    return self.get_xml(path, query=query, postdata=body)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\v1pysdk\client.py", line 159, in get_xml
    document = ElementTree.fromstring(body)

    parser.feed(text)

    raise err
xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: reference to invalid character number: line 7575, column 75

I am running it with Python2.7 on windows. This is the API I am calling

from v1pysdk import V1Meta

v1 = V1Meta(
     address = 'www11.v1host.com',
     instance = '<InstName>',
     username = 'sbaid',
     password = 'XXXXXX'
     )

new_story = v1.Story.create(
    Name = "Temp",
    Scope = v1.Scope(321450)
    )

v1.Scope(321450) returns the correct project name, that implies that session with version1 is established correctly.

These are the only two mandatory parameters and I am able to create the story with these two parameters using Web interface.

I am also able to create the story using following REST request

URL - https://www11.v1host.com/InstName/rest-1.v1/Data/Story

<Asset href="/<InstName>/rest-1.v1/New/Story">
<Attribute name="Name" act="set">Temp</Attribute>
<Relation name="Scope" act="set">
<Asset href="/<InstName>/rest-1.v1/Data/Scope/321450" idref="Scope:321450" />
</Relation>
</Asset>
Solution

  • There is an alternate way to specify the host address which is more reliable. Here's an example that you can try against the public VersionOne SDK testing instance:

    from v1pysdk import V1Meta

with V1Meta (
     instance_url = 'https://www14.v1host.com/v1sdktesting',
     username = 'admin',
     password = 'admin'
     ) as v1:

    new_story = v1.Story.create(
        Name = "Temp Test for StackOverflow question",
        Scope = v1.Scope(0)
        )

    fetched_story = v1.Story.where(Number=new_story.Number).first()
    print fetched_story.Name
