name 'RFC_RC' is not defined in .local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pyrfc/_exception.py

Describe the bug I have deployed the latest py_rfc library (2.8.1) under amazon hosted redhat linux 8 with Python 3.8.13. When I am using pyrfc library I can work, but if any exception is raised I am receiving the following error (the one on bold is important for me):

Traceback (most recent call last): File "rfc_test.py", line 248, in conn = pyrfc.Connection(**conn_params) File "src/pyrfc/client.pyx", line 144, in pyrfc._cyrfc.Connection.init File "src/pyrfc/client.pyx", line 211, in pyrfc._cyrfc.Connection._open File "src/pyrfc/client.pyx", line 237, in pyrfc._cyrfc.Connection._error pyrfc._exception.CommunicationError: <exception str() failed>

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "rfc_test.py", line 335, in print(e)
File "/home/py_elt/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pyrfc/_exception.py", line 51, in str rc_text = RFC_RC(code) if code in [item.value for item in RFC_RC] else "???" NameError: name 'RFC_RC' is not defined

It looks like RFC_RC is not defined in that file and I do not know why.

To Reproduce I followed the instruction for building the pyrfc wheel from the source: https://sap.github.io/PyRFC/build.html#build

exact command I had to run: python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip --user pip install cython wheel pytest sphinx cd $HOME/repositories git clone https://github.com/SAP/PyRFC cd PyRFC sudo yum install gcc-c++ sudo yum install python38-devel python3 setup.py clean --all python3 setup.py bdist_wheel

During installation I did not face any issue. No errors.

Also I was trying to reinstall but the error is still there.

Also I do not understand this part of installation for Linux so I did not do it. Edit setup.py and set the CYTHON_VERSION

Screenshots n/A/

Environment

• OS: Linux RedHat 8
• No
• 2.8,1 for Python 3.8

Additional context N/A

The issue was not detected by unit tests and it would be great help if you could share the script/example how to reproduce?

Hi,

If the issue is closed - does it mean it is fixed and I should rebuild the pyrfc wheel?

[bsrdjan]

you can rebuild or try new pyrfc version 2.8.2

[jaroslawjarek]

yes - perfect - it is working now
