My YunoHost server

Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4 at home
YunoHost version: 11.0.10.2
I have access to my server : Through SSH | through the webadmin | direct access via keyboard / screen

Description of my issue

I’m trying to push my DNS records to Gandi using the “Domains → domain name → DNS → Push DNS records to registrar” functionality.
Just as in this topic, I’m getting various “Failed to create record A/domain name : list indices must be integers or slices, not str” errors.

I have tried to follow the suggestion of that topic to bump error severity, but I’m not getting much more. To be precise, the “History” bottom drawer just gives the error I listed. In yunohost-api.log I get something more (I paste here an excerpt - had to add some spaces around api.gandi.net endpoints otherwise they were detected as links and I couldn’t post the logs, since I’m a new user):

I don’t know if there’s something more I can provide or test I can make.

Sooo can you confirm that you did apply the suggested debug trick with sudo sed -i 's/logger.error(msg)/logger.exception(msg)/g' /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/yunohost/dns.py ?

Note that this was mainly intended for CLI debugging, not API … though maybe restarting yunohost-api and retriggering the issue may yield some relevant info

Hi, thanks for the answer!

Yes, I can confirm the change was made, I checked inside the file and saw that there was no logger.error(msg), but there was a logger.exception(msg).

I tried restarting yunohost-api from Services → yunohost-api → Restart. Weirdly enough, first time I received an authentication error (?), but the second time the service actually restarted (or at least that’s what I guessed from the logs below and the " Running since 3 minutes ago" message).

I tried pushing again the DNS, but the result was the same as before.

After a bit of digging I think I got the correct CLI command (tell me if it’s wrong or if it needs to be something else), but there is no extra info anyway:

Is there some other test I can make? In case: I’m a long time linux user, but not a yunohost one, so tell me what to run exactly or where to go, because I have no idea what yunohost architecture is behind the scenes (I just discovered today there’s a yunohost CLI ;-D)

Hmokay let’s try something more elaborate to have details:

sed -i 's/logger.exception(msg)/import traceback; logger.error(traceback.format_exc())/g' /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/yunohost/dns.py

There’s finally some traceback ;D

I have also digged a bit more. When dns.py calls “current_records = client.provider.list_records()”, this in turns arrives at lexicon/providers.gandi.py and in _list_records the variable query_results is correctly populated, that is, something like:

[{‘rrset_href’: ‘https://api.gandi.net/v5/livedns/domains/foxthesystem.space/records/*/A’,
‘rrset_name’: ‘*’,
‘rrset_ttl’: 3600,
‘rrset_type’: ‘A’,
‘rrset_values’: [‘82.54.229.247’]},
{‘rrset_href’: ‘https://api.gandi.net/v5/livedns/domains/foxthesystem.space/records/%40/A’,
‘rrset_name’: ‘@’,
‘rrset_ttl’: 3600,
…

But then later on dns.py calls “result = LexiconClient(query).execute()”, and that in turns also ends up in _list_records, but in that case query_results has value [[]] (array of empty array), which causes the exception.

I didn’t investigate any further because I don’t really know about all the machinery involved and probably would not end up anywhere.

Welll not bad for somebody that supposedly needs to be told “what to run exactly or where to go, because I have no idea” :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I think I would dig further by checking here : yunohost/dns.py at dev · YunoHost/yunohost · GitHub what’s the content of record by adding print(record) (with the same indentation)

(The corresponding file is still /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/yunohost/dns.py)
