Hello.
I try to get ID of target object by given name via gmp class like this:
try:
targets = []
with gmp:
gmp.authenticate(username, password)
targets = gmp.get_targets(filter='name=my-target-name')
for target in targets.xpath('target'):
output = target.find('id').text
But i have an error with last string.
Could you tel me how i can get id by name correctly ?
The code looks fine at first sight. Could you paste the error traceback?

Hi.
Here is output
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “./modify_target.py”, line 40, in
output = target.find(‘id’).text
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘text’
Therefore it doesn’t find “id” data ?
But if a search “name” it works okay
You are trying to access an xml attribute as child element. Target id is an xml attribute. See
TechDoc Portal
Could you try
output = target.get('id')
instead?

Yes,
output = target.get('id')
Works fine for me.
Thanks a lot.
