mstrio-py 11.3.12.102 calling alter on objects returned by list_filters throws error

[vladbaja]

We just upgraded to mstrio-py==11.3.12.102 and our code was doing: filters = list_filters(connection=self._connection, project_name=self._project_name)

and then at some point something like: filters[X].alter(description, qualification)

which throws: Object of type _MissingType is not JSON serializable

We upgraded from 11.3.9.103, and in that version the alter call worked.

Hi @vladbaja Thanks we logged the issue and fix will be available with June release. The problem is caused by list_filters method which when creating Filter class object can't find type of every attribute and replaces it with _MissingType. Please use this workaround now:

filters = list_filters(connection=self._connection, project_name=self._project_name, to_dictionary=True)
for filter in filters:
    filter_obj = Filter(conn, id=filter['id'])
    filter_obj.alter(description, qualification)

Thanks! That's the workaround we implemented. We'll remove the workaround once you fix it, because we don't like to query each filter (the ones that need update) twice.
