"local variable 'edit_uri' referenced before assignment" error in YouTubeService.UpdateVideoEntry

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I have following program that fetches an Youtube entry and tries to update its 
title and description:

import sys
import gdata.youtube
import gdata.youtube.service

email = sys.argv[1]
password = sys.argv[2]
youtube_id = sys.argv[3]
new_title = sys.argv[4]
new_description = sys.argv[5]

yt_service = gdata.youtube.service.YouTubeService()

# The YouTube API does not currently support HTTPS/SSL access.
yt_service.ssl = False

yt_service.developer_key = 'key here'
yt_service.client_id = 'client id here'
yt_service.email = email
yt_service.password = password
yt_service.source = 'source here'
yt_service.ProgrammaticLogin()

entry = yt_service.GetYouTubeVideoEntry(video_id=youtube_id)

entry.media.title.text = new_title
entry.media.description.text = new_description

yt_service.UpdateVideoEntry(entry)

This will result in following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "get-youtube-info.py", line 35, in <module>
    yt_service.UpdateVideoEntry(entry)
  File "/tmp/ck8/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gdata/youtube/service.py", line 742, in UpdateVideoEntry
    return self.Put(video_entry, uri=edit_uri,
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'edit_uri' referenced before assignment

Gdata Python API version is 2.0.12. Probably I'm missing something but this 
still should not result in exception about unbound local variables.

Changed state: Fixed

I get this error again following the same steps as the original poster using 
gdata-2.0.13.  

The video entry returned from youtube does not have a link where link.rel == 
'edit'. I ran the following in my debug console using one of my videos:
    for link in entry.link:
        print link.rel

Output:

Also, I read this:

d6c3ae

And I am authenticating with my dev_key.  The truncated console output to 
demonstrate:
>>> yt_service.developer_key
     'AI39si77lfnLeXv9...'
