Type error when posting new ad about kijiji-reposter HOT 6 CLOSED

It means that the posting failed. it's attempting to parse the ad id from the response which is actually an api error instead of a successful response. So it cant find what its looking for and returns none. Lots of updates have been committed over the last little while. So make sure you have the newest version downloaded. The newest version will post any kijiji api error to the console window. Would be helpful to have that if you're getting one. Also, it would be helpful to know what you're trying to post. If you look at the server.py file, there is a debugMode=False variable. If you set this to true, it will print the final ad payload to the console instead of sending it to kijiji (after editing server.py, server must be restarted if running). It would be helpful to know what's being sent, and the api error if you're getting one. That way I can test and see if I can replicate the issue. you can email it to me if you would prefer not to post it publicly. email available on my github profile page. Also, make sure you don't have a duplicate ad etc. already on your account.

Thanks for getting back to me @rybodiddly .

Here is the ad payload from debug mode:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ad:ad xmlns:types="http://www.ebayclassifiedsgroup.com/schema/types/v1" xmlns:cat="http://www.ebayclassifiedsgroup.com/schema/category/v1" xmlns:loc="http://www.ebayclassifiedsgroup.com/schema/location/v1" xmlns:ad="http://www.ebayclassifiedsgroup.com/schema/ad/v1" xmlns:attr="http://www.ebayclassifiedsgroup.com/schema/attribute/v1" xmlns:pic="http://www.ebayclassifiedsgroup.com/schema/picture/v1" xmlns:user="http://www.ebayclassifiedsgroup.com/schema/user/v1" xmlns:rate="http://www.ebayclassifiedsgroup.com/schema/rate/v1" xmlns:reply="http://www.ebayclassifiedsgroup.com/schema/reply/v1" locale="en-CA"> <ad:title>Buying Vintage Stereo Equipment</ad:title> <ad:description>Buying Vintage Stereo Equipment</ad:description> <loc:locations> <loc:location id="1700214"/> </loc:locations> <ad:ad-type> <ad:value>WANTED</ad:value> </ad:ad-type> <cat:category id="14922001"/> <ad:email>EDITED OUT</ad:email> <ad:poster-contact-name>Connor</ad:poster-contact-name> <ad:account-id>EDITED OUT</ad:account-id> <ad:ad-address> <types:zip-code>EDITED OUT</types:zip-code> </ad:ad-address> <ad:price> <types:price-type> <types:value>SPECIFIED_AMOUNT</types:value> </types:price-type> <types:amount>300</types:amount> </ad:price> <attr:attributes> </attr:attributes> </ad:ad>

Here is the Kijiji API error:

OrderedDict([('api-base-error', OrderedDict([('@xmlns', 'http://www.ebayclassifiedsgroup.com/schema/types/v1'), ('@http-status-code', '400'), ('api-errors', None), ('api-debug-errors', None), ('api-field-errors', OrderedDict([('api-field-error', OrderedDict([('field-xpath', 'forsaleby'), ('api-errors', OrderedDict([('api-error', OrderedDict([('message', 'Please select a value for "For Sale By"')]))]))]))]))]))])

Looks like it wants a for sale by field. On the Kijiji site this is either Owner or Business.

Ok thanks. So it looks like its due to a missing ad attribute. "For sale by", which is handled by the dynamic attribute builder. I can verify that it's missing for the category you're attempting to post this in. So thank you for bringing this bug to my attention. Will see if I can get it sorted quickly.

problem found. working on solution.

from kijiji-reposter.

Solution has been committed. Wasn't actually my server code. Seems Kijiji recently updated the attributes for many of their ads. So had to reacquire and upload all the new attributes. Thanks for catching that for me. Let me know if it works. If so we'll mark this as closed.
