IncompleteElementContentError

preston — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 20:58:18 GMT

I'm using what is essentially the sample code from http://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/index.html#customer-profiles-create-customer-profile

from authorizenet import apicontractsv1
from authorizenet.apicontrollers import *
from livesettings import config_value
from decimal import *
import random


def create_customer_profile():
    merchantAuth = apicontractsv1.merchantAuthenticationType()
    merchantAuth.name = config_value('AUTHORIZENET','API_LOGIN')
    merchantAuth.transactionKey = config_value('AUTHORIZENET','TRANSACTION_KEY')

    createCustomerProfile = apicontractsv1.createCustomerProfileRequest()
    createCustomerProfile.merchantAuthentication = merchantAuth
    createCustomerProfile.profile = apicontractsv1.customerProfileType('jdoe' + str(random.randint(0, 10000)),
                                                                       'John2 Doe', 'jdoe@mail.com')

    controller = createCustomerProfileController(createCustomerProfile)
    controller.execute()

    response = controller.getresponse()

    if (response.messages.resultCode == "Ok"):
        print("Successfully created a customer profile with id: %s" % response.customerProfileId)
    else:
        print("Failed to create customer payment profile %s" % response.messages.message[0]['text'].text)

    return response


create_customer_profile()

but I get the exception included in the subject. The stack trace isn't isn't especially informative:

What am I doing wrong?

I found the problem. I was using the live credentials on the test url (which the SDK defaults to). I feel like a different sort of error ought to be raised to make that clearer.

Hi @preston,

Thanks for the feedback!

I'll raise this as an issue with the SDK team to see if we can make any improvements in this area.

@dkpapo123

When you switch to production credentials, are you also setting the environment?

Setting Production or Sandbox Environments

To set the environment use the setenvironment method on the controller before executing. E.g. for the example above:

# Defaults to constants.SANDBOX for sandbox testing
createtransactioncontroller.setenvironment(constants.PRODUCTION)
