AttributeError: 'EikonError' object has no attribute 'err_code'

florian.ruemmelein

I updated eikon in Python to version 1.1.8 and get the following error when running my code:

                while True:
                    try:
                        loop_screen, error =ek.get_data(each_request,fields)
                        break
                        
                    except ek.EikonError as err:
                        if err.err_code != 2504:
                            # request failed with other reason than 2504 error code
                            break

The error is AttributeError: 'EikonError' object has no attribute 'err_code'.

Could you please help me and tell me what to do?

Thanks

@florian.ruemmelein from the reference guide you can see that the EikonError object has the following parameters:

So please try:

while True:
    try:
        loop_screen, error =ek.get_data(each_request,fields)
        ##################################################################
        #I would also suggest an if error: condition here to capture bad #
        #parameters or query requests                                    #
        #A good well returned query should have empty error object       #
        ##################################################################

        if error:
            print(error)
        
        break
    
    #######################################################
    #this exception is thrown from server side
    ########################################################
    except ek.EikonError as err:
        if err.code != 2504:
            # request failed with other reason than 2504 error code
            break

I hope this can help - I have added a further error check to check data return is ok. This will detail any errors with the query itself - but does not throw an exception/EikonError object.
