Nested Type is send as "pretty print" of Python Structure about python-zeep

[mvantellingen]

Just a quick initial guess: The value is an anyType, can you use the following: http://docs.python-zeep.org/en/latest/#any-objects (that is wrap the value in an xsd.anyObject)

I changed the code so that I use the AnyObject class, but still does not convert it to the correct values:

new_value_type = edp.get_type("{http://ws.polarion.com/types}Text")

any_val = xsd.AnyObject(new_value_type, new_value_type(type = "text/html", content="This is a first Test", contentLossy=False))
new_solution_type = edp.get_type("{http://ws.polarion.com/TrackerWebService-types}CustomField")

sol = new_solution_type(key="solution", parentItemURI=uri, value=any_val)
edp.service.setCustomField(sol)

The send packet looks like this:

<ns0:setCustomField>
<ns0:customField>
<ns2:parentItemURI>subterra:data-service:objects:/default/sw_team_linux${WorkItem}SWTLI-664</ns2:parentItemURI>
<ns2:key>solution</ns2:key>
<ns2:value>&lt;zeep.xsd.types.AnyObject object at 0x7f995e4f89b0&gt;</ns2:value>
</ns0:customField>
</ns0:setCustomField>

So the issue was that I used xsd.String() as default type for elements while it should have been anyType (ur-type). Can you give the master branch a try?

This seems to generate valid xml:

import zeep
from lxml import etree
from zeep import xsd

client = zeep.Client('http://almdemo.polarion.com/polarion/ws/services/TrackerWebService?wsdl')
new_value_type = client.get_type("{http://ws.polarion.com/types}Text")
value = xsd.AnyObject(
    new_value_type,
    new_value_type(type="text/html", content="This is a first Test", contentLossy=False))

new_solution_type = client.get_type("{http://ws.polarion.com/TrackerWebService-types}CustomField")
sol = new_solution_type(
    key='solution',
    parentItemURI='subterra:data-service:objects:/default/sw${WorkItem}LI-66',
    value=value)

# Dump the message which would be created
node = client.service._binding.create_message('setCustomField', sol)
print(etree.tostring(node, pretty_print=True))

I tried the master branch, but it gives me an error:

[mvantellingen]

Did you wrap the Text type in an AnyObject() like in my code snippet?

Error message should be more helpful nonetheless :-)

[cheuel-laird]

Arg, sorry, no, I didn't. I thought I didn't change my code.
Wrapping it with AnyObject fixes this. Thanks!

Is this somehow related to #17 ?
