Product Partition Issue when when migrated from adspygoogle (v201409) to googleads (201502)

[mccaccou...@gmail.com]

The same code to create Product Partition Tree seems to succeed in v201409 and with adspygoogle library but fails with googleads in v201502.

As far as I understand the version upgrade to v201502 did not include any changes in this particular area and I have also referred the examples for each of the versions mentioned in https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=ProductPartition and see that no specific code change has happened except for the version number change.

Am confused and would appreciate some help here. 

Please note that the same list of operations succeeds when using adspygoogle library in 201409v

Error I get while using googleads library and hitting v201502:

[AdGroupCriterionError.PRODUCT_PARTITION_ALREADY_EXISTS @ operations[42].operand.criterion, AdGroupCriterionError.PRODUCT_PARTITION_ALREADY_EXISTS @ operations[45].operand.criterion, AdGroupCriterionError.PRODUCT_PARTITION_ALREADY_EXISTS @ operations[46].operand.criterion, AdGroupCriterionError.PRODUCT_PARTITION_ALREADY_EXISTS @ operations[47].operand.criterion]

Hi,

It looks like operations 25 and 47 are the same except for escaping the ampersand:

25:

{'operator': 'ADD', 'operand': {'biddingStrategyConfiguration': {'bids': [{'bid': {'microAmount': '1600000', 'xsi_type': 'Money'}, 'xsi_type': 'CpcBid'}]}, 'adGroupId': '14803427457', 'criterion': {'parentCriterionId': '-1', 'partitionType': 'UNIT', 'caseValue': {'type': 'CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTE_0', 'value': u'athletic & sporty id bracelets for kids', 'xsi_type': 'ProductCustomAttribute'}, 'xsi_type': 'ProductPartition'}, 'xsi_type': 'BiddableAdGroupCriterion'}}, 

47:

{'operator': 'ADD', 'operand': {'biddingStrategyConfiguration': {'bids': [{'bid': {'microAmount': '280000', 'xsi_type': 'Money'}, 'xsi_type': 'CpcBid'}]}, 'adGroupId': '14803427457', 'criterion': {'parentCriterionId': '-1', 'partitionType': 'UNIT', 'caseValue': {'type': 'CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTE_0', 'value': u'athletic & sporty id bracelets for kids', 'xsi_type': 'ProductCustomAttribute'}, 'xsi_type': 'ProductPartition'}, 'xsi_type': 'BiddableAdGroupCriterion'}}, 

If you remove one of those operations, does the request succeed?

Thanks,

Thanks for the response! It was the issue.

However earlier we were setting the custom_label0 as escaped string. And so we were trying to escape the product groups as well. Was there a change on that front? Right now everything seems to work fine without escaping on the GMC side

And there were no deduce happening on escaped and unescaped string as it happens now

Hi,

I don't see any changes over recent months that would modify the behavior for escaped vs. unescaped strings in the AdWords API. It may be that some of the encoding issues recently resolved in the Python library also removed the need to add escaping.
