Clarification on XLF format expected in API

The test suite is probably the best place to look

https://code.launchpad.net/~alexharrington/xibo/api-testsuite

I downloaded the tests that you recommended. I ran the RegionTimeLineTests.py as that is the area I am having issues. I encountered 2 errors, 1 of which I fixed (in XiboAPI.py, parseID was casting the value to int when trying to return a regionid).

The error that is of concern occurs in test_region_media_add - the response from self.api.callMethod('LayoutRegionMediaAdd', params) is invalid XLF.

Which of the test cases is it failing on for you?

The response back won't be XLF as far as I'm aware, it will be a success or failure as the test suite checks for.

LayoutRegionMediaAdd adds an XLF snippet for non-file based media types to a region timeline. The media identifier is generated automatically for you so it's ommited when you pass the media in.

The test case that is failing is RegionMediaAdd for text. Here is the output for api call to LayoutRegionMediaAdd.

self.tmpRegionID2: 52b3086f9f855

response= {'status': '200', 'content-length': '93', 'x-powered-by': 'PHP/5.4.7', 'server': 'Apache/2.4.3 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1c PHP/5.4.7', 'date': 'Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:53:35 GMT', 'content-type': 'text/xml; charset=utf8', 'x-xrds-location': 'http://signage/xibo/services.php/service.php?xrds'}

</rsp>

Here are the parameters taken from the source code:

{ 'type': 'text',
                           'xlf': '<media type="text" duration="' + str(duration) + """" schemaVersion="1">
                                         <options><direction>none</direction><scrollSpeed>2</scrollSpeed><fitText>0</fitText></options>
                                         <raw><text><![CDATA[<p>

                                                      ]]></text></raw>
                                     </media>""",
                           'expectedFailure': False
                        }

Just checking this is against 1.5.2 CMS?

Hi Steve,

I've filed a bug for this and a patch to resolve.

Thanks,
Dan

@Alex - Yes this is 1.5.2
@Dan - Thanks, I'll try the patch and let you know.

The patch appears to have worked - however, the RegionTimelineTests.py does return a FAIL condition on RegionMeadiaAdd with the following message: "OK returned but should have been an error 0:" I tried my code with the patch in place and it appears to have worked successfully.

Thanks for all the help.

OP reports patched solved the issue
