Python library does not include the implicit 'string' error type for messages
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-748
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-748
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: python
Affects Versions: 1.4.1
Environment: Ubuntu, Python 2.6.6
Reporter: Christopher Armstrong
Here's a trivial test case:
schema = """
{
"namespace": "test",
"protocol": "test",
"types": [],
"messages": {"test_method": {
"request": [],
"response": "string"}}
}
"""
from avro.protocol import parse
protocol = parse(schema)
assert protocol.messages['test_method'].errors is not None
This may be a bit white-box; the problem actually manifests in
avro.ipc.Responder.respond (line 338), when making a call to write_error with
the "writers_schema" being "local_message.errors". local_message.errors is
None, and it blows up while validating the schema.
This only seems to happen when there is *no* errors field in the message; if an
errors field is provided, it still doesn't explicitly include "string" in the
"errors" field, but it does seem to allow the error message to be passed back.
So maybe this is an error in the protocol parser, or maybe it's an error in the
code that actually tries to write the error response.
