NSInvalidArgumentException - Class OC_PythonObject: no such selector: _cfTypeID about munki HOT 8 CLOSED

From [email protected] on November 15, 2010 10:00:47

I can't reproduce this, either by running managedsoftwareupdate --checkonly, or by calling FoundationPlist.writePlist() with various strange stuff...

I have to suspect there's something in munkicommon.report that FoundationPlist.writePlist() is choking on, but it's hard to guess what that might be.

If you can reliably reproduce it, try inserting a call to printreport into the savereport function, like so:

def savereport():
"""Save our report"""
printreport(report)
FoundationPlist.writePlist(report,
os.path.join(pref('ManagedInstallDir'), 'ManagedInstallReport.plist'))

and see if we can discover any clues in the report output...

I'm using a newer build, but there have been no significant changes in the code around writing the reports to disk in a long time.

Does the error go away if Adobe Flash is not in the list of items to install?

No, it appears to be triggered by the testing catalog not being found. If I place a testing catalog in the repository it runs fine.

(I'm only visiting this machine 3 times a week if you're wondering why the updates are so sporadic...)

Fixed in r919 .

munkicommon.display_error() was appending the CurlDownloadError object to report['Errors'] instead of the error message as a string. When savereport() was called, FoundationPlist.writePlist() threw an exception when trying to write the unsupported object to the plist.

Fix is to coerce the error to a string before appending it to the report['Errors'] list. Made a similar fix to munkicommon.display_warning().

Status: Fixed
