Unable to update custom object

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, first of all, thanks a lot for developing this fine library. It's working 
as promised and saving me a lot of time. I'm having this small issue though but 
I hope you can throw me some pointer to fix it.

I'm trying to update some custom object but I'm keep getting the uninformative 
'INVALID_TYPE: Must send a concrete entity type.' error.

First the explanation: I have this custom object Curso__c that has an attribute 
Dias_netos__c. According to my enterprise.wsdl it's defined as <element 
name="Dias_netos__c" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:double"/>

I'm generating the object, populating it with the desired Id and adding the 
Dias_netos__c attribute but when I fire the update, I always get the mentioned 
error. I tried making Dias_netos__c a float type and I also submitted a list in 
the update too (instead of a single object) but to no avail.

Here's a full example (console output from ipython):

In [2]: so = x.h.generateObject('Curso__c')

In [3]: so
Out[3]: 
(sObject){
   fieldsToNull[] = <empty>
   Id = None
   type = "Curso__c"
 }

In [4]: so.Id = "a015000000UgzNbAAJ"

In [5]: so
Out[5]: 
(sObject){
   fieldsToNull[] = <empty>
   Id = "a015000000UgzNbAAJ"
   type = "Curso__c"
 }

In [6]: so.Dias_netos__c = 4

In [7]: so
Out[7]: 
(sObject){
   fieldsToNull[] = <empty>
   Id = "a015000000UgzNbAAJ"
   type = "Curso__c"
   Dias_netos__c = 4
 }

In [9]: x.h.update([so])

hmmm...  The XML looks fairly similar to this:  
http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/resources/soap/sforce60/sforce_API_messag
es_update.html, and the code looks pretty similar to this:  
http://code.google.com/p/salesforce-python-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/EXAMPLES#
228

Can you try a couple things?
1) try against suds 0.3.9
2) try retrieving the lead by ID, then setting the field, then calling update()?

Thanks for the bug report!

David

Hi David, thanks a lot for your quick answer.
Actually I forgot to mention but I did try with retrieve, raising the same 
error.
Find below the code:

In [13]: obj = x.h.retrieve("Dias_netos__c", "Curso__c", "a0150000008Uug0AAC")

In [14]: obj
Out[14]: 
(sObject){
   fieldsToNull[] = <empty>
   Id = "a0150000008Uug0AAC"
   type = "Curso__c"
   Dias_netos__c = 1.0
 }

In [15]: obj.Dias_netos__c = 4.00

In [16]: obj
Out[16]: 
(sObject){
   fieldsToNull[] = <empty>
   Id = "a0150000008Uug0AAC"
   type = "Curso__c"
   Dias_netos__c = 4.0
 }

In [17]: x.h.update(obj)

I will try to downgrade to suds 0.3.9 and try both examples to see what 
happens. I will let you know as soon as I'm done.

Ok, I'm guessing it's an issue with the XML namespace prefixes - could you give 
it a try with 0.3.9 and see if that works around the issue?

You hit the bull's-eye! Downgrading to suds 0.3.9 made the trick and I could 
update the object. Thanks a lot for your input.

Cool, I'll dig into what changed in 0.4 wrt namespace prefixes and re-release.  
Thanks again Mariano!

Issue 6 has been merged into this issue.

Added setup.py, which installs suds 0.3.9.
