get_table_schema fails when the api.table is initialized with the table's ID

[calebclimatecabinet]

For example

get_table_schema(api.table(base_id, "tblXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"))

returns None but the function works if you use the table's name:

get_table_schema(api.table(base_id, "My Table"))

Good catch. I can see that function is comparing to name but not to id.

311 introduces a new set of APIs for retrieving metadata, so I'm generally not inclined to do much maintenance on the existing code (which will be deprecated). But this should be easy enough to fix. Pull requests welcome 😁 otherwise I'll get to this the next chance I have.

Ah no worries – if it'll be depreciated I'm fine letting it slide.

If anyone else comes across this I just wrote my own get_table_schema which only works in the opposite case:

def get_table_schema(table):
    base_schema = get_base_schema(table)
    return next(t for t in base_schema["tables"] if t["id"] == table.name)
