TypeError exception thrown while using tool against developer software

[ndugie-vertiv]

In the file protocol_details.py in the function safe_uri, the input value needs to be checked for None as the first step. I expect that it may be correct to report this as a validation error but I need the output file to be generated in order to review it and that is not happening without local changes.

In what condition would the URI passed in be None? I'm looking at the validator code that uses the method and it seems like it should just iterate over a set of responses from the service, all of which should have a valid URI.

[ndugie-vertiv]

I haven't found yet where my interface is providing a null URI, but it is my opinion that a tool that exists to check my implementation's validity shouldn't fail part way through when my implementation isn't valid.

[mraineri]

Yes, if it really is going down that path, I agree. That scenario just doesn't seem obvious to me though, so I'm curious how it's being brought out.

[ndugie-vertiv]

I will add more information to the issue if the issue remains open until I have more time to dig into it, but working on Redfish is a low single digit percentage of my role and the behavior defect in the target device presumably causing this exception may well be fixed by someone else before that can happen. Feel free to close the issue if there's not enough information here to be useful.

[mraineri]

Would it be possible to collect the output of the tool with the --log-level DEBUG argument so we can see if there's enough tracing to see why a None uri is being cached?
