Python format for returning a list output for confd action

Hi,
My confd action model returns an output which is a list :slight_smile:
output {
list outlist {
leaf A {
type string;
}
leaf B{
type string;
}
}

My callpoint is implemented in Python.

I have returned data when the output is a single leaf using something like this
result = [_confd.TagValue(_confd.XmlTag(ns_hash, tag),
_confd.Value(value))]
dp.action_reply_values(self.uinfo, result)

I am not able to figure out how to do it for returning the data in the list format.

Thanking you.

@waitai 's recommendation is correct, best to file an RT ticket with support.

Quick pseudo code hint based on your pseudo code:

result = [
        _confd.TagValue(_confd.XmlTag(ns_hash, outlist_tag),
                 _confd.Value(_confd.C_XMLBEGIN)
                 ),
        _confd.TagValue(_confd.XmlTag(ns_hash, A_tag),
                 _confd.Value(value)),
	_confd.TagValue(_confd.XmlTag(ns_hash, B_tag),
                 _confd.Value(value)),
        _confd.TagValue(_confd.XmlTag(ns_hash, outlist_tag),
                 _confd.Value(_confd.C_XMLEND)
                 )
    ]

Thanks for the solution.

The XML tags worked when called with the following format.
begin_tag = _confd.TagValue(_confd.XmlTag(ns_hash,outlist_tag),_confd.Value((outlist_tag,ns_hash),_confd.C_XMLBEGIN))
result.append(begin_tag)
.
.
.
.

_confd.TagValue(_confd.XmlTag(ns_hash,outlist_tag),_confd.Value((outlist_tag,ns_hash),_confd.C_XMLEND))
result.append(begin_tag)

Thanks again.

Hi, We are facing similar problem to show some values in a list. We are using Python 2.7. Simply while calling, confd.XmlTag, getting error.
ns.hash ( It is integer with hash value)
outlist_tag = ns.configuration_result (it is string which is tag name “result”)

_confd.XmlTag(ns.hash,outlist_tag)

Error is: Config manager: Unable to perform config operation: an integer is required

If giving hash value for result tag (i.e.: 401396173) , it works, but output is integer and meaningless.
This is what is in the list of output:
[_confd.TagValue(tag=401396173, ns=1550764805), _confd.TagValue(tag=1998270519, ns=1550764805), _confd.TagValue(tag=1714291735, ns=1550764805), _confd.TagValue(tag=401396173, ns=1550764805), _confd.TagValue(tag=401396173, ns=1550764805), _confd.TagValue(tag=1998270519, ns=1550764805), _confd.TagValue(tag=1714291735, ns=1550764805), _confd.TagValue(tag=401396173, ns=1550764805)]

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

The corrected pseudo code based on the reply from @Srijit:

result = [
    _confd.TagValue(_confd.XmlTag(ns_hash, outlist_tag),
                               _confd.Value((outlist_tag,ns_hash),_confd.C_XMLBEGIN)),
    _confd.TagValue(_confd.XmlTag(ns_hash, A_tag),
                               _confd.Value(value, _confd.C_STR)),
    _confd.TagValue(_confd.XmlTag(ns_hash, B_tag),
                               _confd.Value(value, _confd.C_STR)),
    _confd.TagValue(_confd.XmlTag(ns_hash, outlist_tag),
                               _confd.Value((outlist_tag,ns_hash),_confd.C_XMLEND))
]

Note that it is a good habit to enter the type for the value too, even though it is not required for a string type.
