"AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'name'" when I'm trying to get enum's name

[Vladimir Potter]

Hello there,

Could someone please show me the right way to get enum's name?

The one described in the documentation doesn't work (

https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs/python/proto-getters#enums)

>>> campaign = client.get_type("Campaign")
>>> campaign.status = client.enums.CampaignStatusEnum.PAUSED
>>> campaign.status.name
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'name'

I'm using python client, googleads-api==14.1.0 and Ads API v9

Best regards,

Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,

Thank you for reaching out to our team.

I completely understand the issue, however, the issue appears more specific with the Python client library. With this, I would suggest reaching out to the author of the Python client library via this link as they are more equipped to provide support to this issue.

Hi Ernie,

Thanks a lot! After careful reading of the changelog for python api client, I've found the solution to my problem

Previous behavior of the python client was changed by this:

"Version 14.0.0 of this library introduced the required use_proto_plus configuration option that specifies which type of protobuf message to use."

use_proto_plus is set to False by default which make the client to return protobuf objects instead of proto-plus. More info on their differences can be found here: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs/python/protobuf-messages

Best regards,

Hi Vladimir,

Thank you for reporting back to us that use_proto_plus is set to False in the client library fixed the issue. Is there anything else Ads API related you need assistance with?

Just encountered the same issue and I set the use_proto_plus to TRUE for solving the problem, not FALSE.

Hi Corrine,

Thank you for your reply. Thanks for updating us on the said issue that it resolved by setting the use_proto_plus to TRUE, and not FALSE. Thank you for validating this. However, if you wish to validate this with client library owner, then you may create new issue here as well.
