Invalid payment

[Selevra]

Description of the bug
There seems to be something wrong with parsing my payment:

21:36:39   2/699: Deutsche Bahn -- None - 2026-01-05T22:54:40
Traceback (most recent call last):
[...]
File "<PATH>\pytr\dl.py", line 269, in dl_callback
    ititle.startswith("Du hast ") and (ititle.endswith(" erhalten") or ititle.endswith(" gesendet"))
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

To Reproduce
I ran the following command and the error occurs every time:

pytr dl_docs <PATH> --last_days 123

Expected behavior
pytr does not exit with an error

Environment

• OS: Windows
• pytr version: 0.4.5

Additional context

I've looked into this for the last hour or so as well. The events format has changed again. Furthermore the docs URLs are now a dict with a path member being a relative URL.

Don't have a solution. Just wanted to pipe in that yes, this is a general issue at the moment for me, too.

Hi,
just did a quick fix using AI, see patch-file - some lines in pytr/dl.py:

Quick_fix_with_AI_for_Issue_#300.patch

not sure if this is o.k. - this is why i didn't create a PR.

Hope that helps,

Hi,
same AttributeError for me.
Not sure what to do with the patch file, I guess I need to wait for a new pytr version.

Hi,
the patchfile should help to fix this locally, provisionally.

e.g. file is downloaded to ~/Downloads
then execute:
patch -p2 < ~/Downloads/Quick_fix_with_AI_for_Issue_.300.patch

Or do it manually, edit the pytr/dl.py file.
On the left side, the installed 0.45 version, and on the right one the changes to apply:

This will be overwritten, when re-installing pytr again.

Hope that helps,

~ Markus

Thank you Markus,
I've edited dl.py manually as above, but now getting following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 198, in _run_module_as_main
File "", line 88, in run_code
File "c:\users\XXXX.local\bin\pytr.exe_main.py", line 2, in
File "C:\Users\XXXX\pipx\venvs\pytr\Lib\site-packages\pytr\main.py", line 17, in
from pytr.dl import DL
File "C:\Users\XXXX\pipx\venvs\pytr\Lib\site-packages\pytr\dl.py", line 307
if isinstance(doc_url, dict):
IndentationError: unexpected indent

So I guess it's not working for me.

So I guess it's not working for me.

Make sure the indentation is like shown in the screenshot above. The first character in line 307 needs to be exactly below the one in 306. Also check for whitespaces vs. tabs.

Thanks for the hint, Markus and Selevra - that helped to get it running.
Have a nice weekend!

also worked for me.

Would like to add an observation:

manual modification of dl.py as proposed works for me too, thank you, Markus.

In detail:
Download of docs works obviously, only get warnings like
"no subfolder mapping for ..."
"No URL found in doc payload ..." as caused by the modification, linked to payments (with no docs?)

[mbunkus]

I'm not trying to shit on anything here, but just as a note or warning: the quick fix patch is not a fix. The underlying cause is a change in event structure sent by the API. For example, before the change the docs path was a string containing the absolute path to the doc; now it's an object with two members, one of them being the relative path to the doc. The quick fix does not use that information, leading to incomplete downloads (that's why you still see "no URL found in doc payloa"). Just be aware of that if you decide to use the patch. Once a real fix lands remember to update, download transactions again & check if what you've downloaded with the quick fix patch was covered correctly.

The docs path change is not the only structural change, unfortunately. The patch doesn't address that either; therefore you still see "no subfolder mapping for…" errors.

[MarkusGuske]

Hi @mbunkus, thanks a lot for your "hint".

Quick-Fix was a misleading naming, sorry for any confusion this may caused.

You are right, this is just a patch to get rid of the aborted run.
All expected docs were downloaded, and I wanted to share this with you, till the real fix and adoption to the changed data structure is implemented.

Will someone release a PR for this issue? Am still getting it. The project seems to be unmaintained. What is the current state? Thank you.
