adding an attribute in suds

Question

I have to do soap request with suds and Python

<soap:Body> 
    <registerOrder> 
        <order merchantOrderNumber="" description="" amount=""  currency=""  language=""  xmlns=""> 
             <returnUrl>http://mysafety.com</returnUrl> 
        </order> 
    </registerOrder> 
</soap:Body>

How to add an attribute in registerOrder?

Answer 1

A more dynamic version of the MessagePlugin would be:

from suds.sax.attribute import Attribute
from suds.plugin import MessagePlugin

class _AttributePlugin(MessagePlugin):
    """
    Suds plug-in extending the method call with arbitrary attributes.
    """
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        self.kwargs = kwargs

    def marshalled(self, context):
        method = context.envelope.getChild('Body')[0]
        for key, item in self.kwargs.iteritems():
            method.attributes.append(Attribute(key, item))

Usage:

client = Client(url)
# method 1
client.options.plugins = [_AttributePlugin(foo='bar')]
response = client.service.method1()
client.options.plugins = []
# method 2
response = client.service.method2()

In suds documentation search for a MessagePlugin. The marshalled option is what you're searching for. You need to add it into your client as a plugin:

self.client = Client(url, plugins=[MyPlugin()])

In marshalled method search for context.envelope childs. The python's vars() function is very useful in this place. As I think, It should like something like this for you:

from suds.sax.attribute import Attribute
from suds.plugin import MessagePlugin
class MyPlugin(MessagePlugin):
    def marshalled(self, context):
        foo = context.envelope.getChild('Body').getChild('registerOrder')[0]
        foo.attributes.append(Attribute("foo", "bar"))

I was sitting at this for last week, so might it'll save some time for you :)

You can use the __inject Client option to inject a particular xml

raw_xml = """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
    <SOAP-ENV:Body>
        ...
    </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>"""

print client.service.example(__inject={'msg':raw_xml})

Also, I prefer using suds-jurko https://pypi.python.org/pypi/suds-jurko/0.6 which is a fork of suds that is actively maintained.

Answer 4

I have reused https://fedorahosted.org/suds/ticket/21 and have adapted the code to use the idea. Change SUDS as below and use

Client.<method>(param1=value1, ... , attributes={'attrName1':'attrVal1'} )

to call 'method' with the 'attrName1' attribute as wanted.
