Empty RPC XML Serialisation will not work

[eduardpo]

Empty RPC is legal AFAIK, input/output are optional...

print(pybindIETFXMLEncoder.serialise(system_reset))

Exception:

Exception has occurred: AttributeError
'yc_reset_radio_bridge_tg_system__radio_bridge_tg_s' object has no attribute '_yang_name'

    print(pybindIETFXMLEncoder.serialise(system_reset))

Yang RPC:

rpc reset {
    description
        "RPC for rebooting the unit";
}

Corresponding python binding class:

class yc_reset_radio_bridge_tg_system__radio_bridge_tg_system_rpc_reset(PybindBase):
    """
    This class was auto-generated by the PythonClass plugin for PYANG
    from YANG module radio-bridge-tg-system - based on the path /radio_bridge_tg_system_rpc/reset. Each member element of
    the container is represented as a class variable - with a specific
    YANG type.

    YANG Description: RPC for rebooting the unit
    """
    _pyangbind_elements = {}

Command being used to generate bindings:

pyang --plugindir "$PYBINDPLUGIN" -f pybind --build-rpcs -o ../pygen/gen/system.py radio-bridge-tg-system.yang

Please advise, Ed

Hi eduardpo,

Reproducing your issue is key to understand it and fix it.

• What would you expect as XML serialization of an RPC without input nor output?
  • In your code ''' File "/home/eduardp/siklu_pyang/pygen/test_system.py", line 37, in print(pybindIETFXMLEncoder.serialise(system_reset)) ''' What is 'system_reset' ?

Personally, I have always serialized/deserialized YANG schema nodes.

Looking forward to helping you with the issue.

Hi,

'pyang --build-rpcs' would ' Generate class bindings for the input and output of RPCs defined in each module. These are placed at the root of each module'.

If the RPC has no input nor output, there would be no classes generated for them, nothing to serialize, I think.

Closing, as there was no follow up on the issue.
