Recommendation Type Enum Doesn't Match Results

[Scott Vaillancourt]

It looks like a new recommendation type has been added but not yet reflected in the Enum. Specifically, the value 18 (RESPONSIVE_SEARCH_AD?) is being returned from a query but isn't part of the Enum. However, it does appear in the documentation (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v6/RecommendationTypeEnum.RecommendationType). 

I've pasted in some code/results below that illustrate the issue. Thanks.

Quick update: I also encountered this issue with the ChangeEventResourceType enum.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for reaching out. Please look into the v6 RecommendationTypeEnum. You would be able to see the number 18 represents RESPONSIVE_SEARCH_AD.

Hi Xiaoming,

Thanks for your reply. I believe I am accessing the correct enum, but it doesn't appear to contain the value 18. Please see the code below. Thanks.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for reaching out. The RESPONSIVE_SEARCH_AD type actually exists in these client libraries. If you are using the Python client library, you could refer to this line of code.

Thank you. After looking at the links you sent and digging into it a bit more, it appears to be a version problem. I downloaded the most current edition of google-ads (which I should have done straight away), at that has resolved the issue.
