get_server_name() throwing xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError

[transce]

Removed ip address, username, and password for privacy concerns.

import hpilo ilo = hpilo.Ilo("{ip_address}", login='{username}', password="{password}") ilo.get_fw_version() {'firmware_date': 'Aug 16 2017', 'firmware_version': '2.55', 'license_type': 'iLO Advanced', 'management_processor': 'iLO4'} ilo.get_server_name() Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/home/apotts2/razors_edge/lib/python3.5/site-packages/hpilo.py", line 1243, in get_server_name return self._info_tag('SERVER_INFO', 'GET_SERVER_NAME', 'SERVER_NAME', process=lambda name: name['value']) File "/home/apotts2/razors_edge/lib/python3.5/site-packages/hpilo.py", line 698, in _info_tag header, message = self._request(root) File "/home/apotts2/razors_edge/lib/python3.5/site-packages/hpilo.py", line 253, in _request message = self._parse_message(data[:pos]) File "/home/apotts2/razors_edge/lib/python3.5/site-packages/hpilo.py", line 556, in _parse_message message = etree.fromstring(data) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1333, in XML parser.feed(text) File "", line None xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 8, column 48

That smells like an iLO bug. Could you set ilo.debug=2 before calling get_server_name() and share the debug output (after sanitizing out the sensitive info)?

That looks like you've stripped too much from the output. Between X-Frame-Options and the traceback, there should be the actual XML data.

[transce]

Weird. It showed all on the write pane, but not on the preview. Attached as a file.

get_servername_ilo.txt

[seveas]

Edited your comment to make sure all the data shows up, and we have an iLO bug indeed.

     <SERVER_OSNAME VALUE="Oracle Linux Server" "/>
     <SERVER_OSVERSION VALUE="6.9" "/>

That is not valid XML. This isn't the first time that iLO has bugs like this :frowning_face:

[seveas]

Could you please report this bug to HP? I'll add a workaround in python-hpilo, but this should be fixed in the firmware.

[transce]

We have a couple of HPE guys on site. I'll see if they know how to submit one for firmware fix. Thanks for looking.

[seveas]

I've added a workaround in 3c8e3db, but since my iLO's don't exhibit this behaviour, I can't actually test this workaround. Could you give it a spin?

[transce]

Here is the end output. Everything above the traceback looks the same: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/apotts2/hpilo_check/lib/python3.5/site-packages/hpilo.py", line 569, in _parse_message message = etree.fromstring(data) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1333, in XML parser.feed(text) xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 8, column 48

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

That's why I hate not being able to test before committing, this was a dumb bug on my side. Try 451943c please :grin:

[transce]

I thought all good developers test in production. Hehehe. No errors this time, but there was not output from get_server_name(). Is that what you are expecting?

[seveas]

Production is the best place for testing :smile:

But I would expect something to be returned from get_server_name. Are you sure you're printing the return value?

[transce]

Ugh. My fault. That's what I get for doing three projects at the same time. I'm getting the servername now. Looks good.

[seveas]

Awesome! Thanks for reporting bugs
