com.google.gdata.util.ParseException: Invalid value for attribute : 'name'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Just execute following command..Don't forget to replace DEVELOPER_KEY.

        String url = 
"http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/5A5BB1BD363348A9?v=2&start-
index=1&max-results=50";
        YouTubeService service = new 
YouTubeService(DEVELOPER_KEY));
        service.query(new YouTubeQuery(new URL((String) url)), 
VideoFeed.class);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected to return playlist entry..Instead it is throwing error. Also, this 
was working for few days..But I have seen this in other queries as well.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OS: Windows 2003
gdata-client-1.0.jar
gdata-core-1.0.jar
gdata-media-1.0.jar
gdata-youtube-2.0.jar
gdata-youtube-meta-2.0.jar

Please provide any additional information below.
I have attached the stacktrace

Which version of the GData java library are you using? (This is the version 
string on
the package you downloaded from codesite).

This sounds like a data problem.  Did you begin to see this issue because of 
client
library update? or this started to happen when there was no change at your end?

Hi there,
I am using latest jars from latest released bundled jar..Following are the jars 
that 
I am using..The version of the jars are specified in the name of the jar itself.

gdata-client-1.0.jar
gdata-core-1.0.jar
gdata-media-1.0.jar
gdata-youtube-2.0.jar
gdata-youtube-meta-2.0.jar

This issue appeared suddenly for the specified playlist. Upon further review, 
it 
seems like the issue is because some of the videos that are in the playlist and 
which 
were public before are now private. But that is a cause of concern because 
people can 
have several playlists and anybody can choose to make any video private and 
that can 
bring down a web page..I think either those videos have to be automatically 
removed 
from the playlist or the API should ignore then instead of throwing error.

The above is my assessment. I am 80% sure but you may want to try yourself with 
the 
playlist URL I provided.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you
Sudeep

I'm having similar issues:

WARNING: [Line 4, Column 5022, element yt:state] 
com.google.gdata.util.ParseException: Invalid value for attribute : 'name'
Message: Invalid value for attribute : 'name'

    at com.google.gdata.data.AttributeHelper.consumeEnum(AttributeHelper.java:425)

I tracked it down to the <yt:state> tag's name attribute in the feed not 
matching the
State enum.
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/reference.html#youtube_data_api_tag_yt:s
tate

The enum array is doing an equals() for each element:
[INCOMPLETE, PROCESSING, REJECTED, FAILED, DELETED]

while the tag is:
restricted

The method then throws the exception.

A temporary fix would be to copy the source for
com.google.gdata.data.youtube.YtPublicationState and add restricted type like 
below.
 Then adding it higher in the classpath.

public static enum State {

    /**
     * The video has not been completely defined yet, but it's been stored
     * already.
     * Either the video data or the description is missing.
     */
    INCOMPLETE,

    /** The video has just been uploaded and is not yet publicly available. */
    PROCESSING,

    /** The video has been rejected. */
    REJECTED,

    /** The video was not successfully processed. */
    FAILED,

    /** Video was removed by the owner. */
    DELETED,

    RESTRICTED,
    ;
  }

We're getting this error as well. I tried updating from the gdata-1.3.0 jars to 
the
gdata-1.3.3.jars (even though the specific jars within the download haven't 
changed
version numbers.) This looks like a server-side change which, fwiw, is 
completely
hosing our use of the API.

@brian.h.GT: Thanks for that fix suggestion ... simple, and worked like a 
charm.  

Now we get to wait for Google to fix their code and break the hack. ;P

Hey Prakash, will you post something here when this fix is released? We're 
noticing
the same error and it happens quite frequently.

thanks,

We are also severely affected.

Is there any work being done on this?
It's been 3 months since the bug was opened.

Hard to believe that a simple solution already determined by brian.h.GT on Jun 
11,
2009 still cannot be implemented by Google...

I was also having this problem.  Upgrading to gdata-src.java-1.35.1 fixed the 
problem
for us.  After upgrading we had to also add google-collect-1.0-rc2 to our 
deployment
to get things working.

Mandavilli,

This was resoled in r98.  Are you still seeing this issue.  If yes which 
version of the jars 
are you using?

i forgot to add the code:

public GdataYoutube()
    {
        _youtubeService = new YouTubeService("birserverhikayesi");
    }

    public VideoFeed Search(String criteria, int maxResults, int startIndex)
    {
        try
        {
            YouTubeQuery youtubeQuery = new YouTubeQuery(new URL("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos"));

            youtubeQuery.setFullTextQuery(criteria);
            youtubeQuery.setMaxResults(maxResults);
            youtubeQuery.setStartIndex(startIndex);

            VideoFeed videoFeed = _youtubeService.query(youtubeQuery, VideoFeed.class);
            // this call throws the exception

            return videoFeed;
        } catch (IOException ex)
        {
            Logger.getLogger(GdataYoutube.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        } catch (ServiceException ex)
        {
            // This is the exception caught
            Logger.getLogger(GdataYoutube.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

        return null;
    }

i've done some workaround and found that, when i request 20 results in each 
query, even only one of the result is broken, an exception is thrown and none 
of them is back.
i thougt of getting the results one by one and eliminate the broken result on 
my own on the server but it will have so much communication overheads.

Do you have any idea??
