[andreabisello]

maybe simillar to https://github.com/mvantellingen/python-zeep/issues/392, my call returns a detail with the error (this is the debug xml)

the details is

<detail><RepositoryServiceAdmin.ErrorData xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WcfConservazione" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><DetailedInformation i:nil="true"/><Reason>Non è possibile eliminare il lavoro in quanto presenta 1 PdV da conservare</Reason></RepositoryServiceAdmin.ErrorData></detail>

but i'm not able to access from returned exception

how to access it?

thanks

in the meanwhile i used the "raw" mode of zeep to read the response of the exception. https://docs.python-zeep.org/en/master/settings.html#context-manager

I was in similar situation and needed to have programmatic access to the error for good handling.

The solution for OP's question could be something like:

import zeep

history = zeep.plugins.HistoryPlugin()
client = zeep.Client(wsdl, plugins=[history])
...

try:
    client.service.YourMethod()
except zeep.exceptions.Fault:
    envelope = history.last_received["envelope"]
    error_text = envelope.find(".//{*}RepositoryServiceAdmin.ErrorData").text
