Unable to link logical-server to physical-server via "servers[]" through API

[ggs67]

I use the API to create our assets and try to link logical-servers to physical-servers which is a n-m relation. I do this in accordance with the code through the "servers[]" json attribute. A dd() in the Mercator code shows that the attribute is well arriving in the method and a second test with a dd() inside the "if" clause which checks for "servers[]" confirms that the if actually recognizes the attribute. Nevertheless the link table stays empty and no error returned.

I have verified that the physical server with ID 4 as passed via "servers[]" : [ 4 ] actually exists

Here is a sample in python

#!/usr/bin/python3

import requests

vheaders = {}
vheaders['accept'] = 'application/json'
vheaders['content-type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
vheaders['cache-control'] = 'no-cache'

print("Login")
response = requests.post("http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/login",
    headers=vheaders,
    data= {'email':'admin@admin.com', 'password':'password'} )
print(response.status_code)

vheaders['Authorization'] = "Bearer " + response.json()['access_token']

print("Get physical server 1")
response = requests.get("http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/physical-servers/1", headers=vheaders)
print(response.json())
print(response.status_code)

print("Get logical server 1")
response = requests.get("http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/logical-servers/1", headers=vheaders)
print(response.json())
print(response.status_code)

data=response.json()['data']
data['servers[]'] = [ "1", "2", "3" ]
data['install_date'] = ''
data['update_date'] = ''

print(data)

print("Update logical server 1")
response = requests.put("http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/logical-servers/1",
    headers=vheaders,
    data=data)

print(response.json())
print(response.status_code)

I did exactly this but in the initial POST (i.e. create). The code suggests to me that this should work as well. Nevertheless I changed my code to attempt an update via PUT after the create:

The PUT to the URL below returns status code 200, but the physical servers remain empty (physical server with id 4 exists)

BTW: I saw that there was a commit related to this so I did update mercator prior to my tests

URL: https://mercator.oursite.net/api/logical-servers/1480

I might have fixed a bug in the API. Didoer

Thank you. Works now !

You changed the API not to use [] anymore, so the code above needs to be changed to:

data['servers'] = [ "1", "2", "3" ]

and it works as well in POST than in PUT
