Problems on updating locations using FROST-Python client

[mikedolx]

Hi,

i'm trying to update the location description in our FROST-Server. I am using the FROST-Python client. When i try to execute the patch() method, i get the following error within the docker logs:

 [http-nio-8080-exec-1620] ERROR      d.f.i.i.f.service.Service - Failed to handle request (details in debug): Could not resolve subtype of [simple type, class com.github.fge.jsonpatch.JsonPatchOperation]: missing type id property 'op' (for POJO property '#temporary-name')

The python code throws the following exception:

Exception has occurred: HTTPError
500 Server Error:  for url: https://frost.mydomain.com/FROST-Server/v1.1/Locations(61)
  File "..\rename-locations.py", line 39, in <module>
    remote_frost.patch(entity=location, patches=patches)
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 500 Server Error:  for url: https://frost.mydomain.com/FROST-Server/v1.1/Locations(61)

Here is a small snippet of how i'm trying to do the update

locations = remote_frost.locations().query().list()

for location in locations:
  sanitized_description = new_description.replace('/', '-')
  print(f"updating location's description to >{sanitized_description}<")
  patches = [{'description': sanitized_description }]
  remote_frost.patch(entity=location, patches=patches)

I'm not sure if there's any issue with my code? The location object is the one i am getting from the server, so it should be complete and have an id.

Nevermind, just found the solution using jsonpatch:

import jsonpatch
...
patch = jsonpatch.JsonPatch([{ "op": "replace", "path": "/description", "value": new_description }])
remote_frost.patch(entity=location, patches=patch)
