AttributeError: 'SkypeSettings' object has no attribute 'flags'

[maxnikulin]

Just after login I try to get settings (actually I was exploring SkPy features) sk.settings I get exception

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

AttributeError: 'SkypeSettings' object has no attribute 'flags'

I see no network activity. It is Python 2.7.12.

Account type

An old skype account not connected to a microsoft account.

Conversation details

N/A.

Steps to reproduce

Log in and try to get settings.

Result or traceback

See above.

The flag data is retrieved when creating the Skype instance, so you should always see a request for that even when using a token:

$ SKPY_DEBUG_HTTP=1 python

>>> from skpy import Skype
>>> sk = Skype("fred.2", tokenFile=".tokens")
<= [20/12 18:35:13] GET https://flagsapi.skype.com/flags/v1
{}
=> [20/12 18:35:13] 200

[1, 2, ...]

If you're not seeing any network requests at all, perhaps the debug flag isn't actually making it through IPython? Can you try with a vanilla Python shell?

The other possibility (which I just noticed) is if you're not connecting at startup (i.e. Skype(connect=False) and then setting it up yourself), in which case the call in the first link above doesn't happen. You can call sk.settings.syncFlags() yourself, though really that ought to be handled somewhere for you...

[maxnikulin]

You guess is right, to avoid auth rate limit I use a recipe found somewhere on the website

sk = Skype(connect = False, tokenFile = tokenFile)
try:
    sk.conn.readToken()
except (SkypeAuthException, IOError):
    sk.conn.setUserPwd(user, getpass.getpass(user + ' password:'))
    sk.conn.getSkypeToken()

When authorizing first time today I had to type password. I noticed a long response with country titles, so I decided that flags were synced as well.

sk.settings

resulted in usual error AttributeError: 'SkypeSettings' object has no attribute 'flags'. After that I tried sk.settings.syncFlags(), successfully got array of some numbers. Another attempt to inspect sk.settings produced another error

SkypeApiException: ('404 response from GET https://api.skype.com/users/<my-login>/options/OPT_SKYPE_CALL_POLICY', <Response [404]>)

So sk.settings.syncFlags() does not help if Skype instance is created with connect = False. Although I reported this issue, I am unsure if settings will be useful for me.

[maxnikulin]

With your suggestion, plain python (2.7 in my case) and coonection using

sk = Skype("fred.2", tokenFile=".tokens")

I get the same error 404. Flags are synced on Skype instance creation as you expect.

[Terrance]

404 response from GET https://api.skype.com/users//options/OPT_SKYPE_CALL_POLICY

Huh, that's a curious one. It should look something like this:

Can you see this request being made anywhere for your account on Skype for Web? It should fire during startup.

[maxnikulin]

web.skype.com gets the same 404 for OPT_SKYPE_CALL_POLICY Do you have any guess what can be broken in skype for web due to this error?

I was going to report another 404 failure on attempt to delete a contact but finally that error has gone away. I do not know if it might be related to e.g. contact status or any other non-obvious state.

[Terrance]

I wonder if it throws a 404 until you actually try and set that option via Skype for Web.

If you haven't set it before, can you try changing it and reloading to see if it still 404s?

[Terrance]

It looks like this setting has probably been replaced by one on a different API server -- f4cca78 added support for it, so this should be resolved now?
