Trouble getting partial failures

[Walter Bodwell]

I'm uploading offline conversions.  Most are successful (and I can see them in the Google Ads UI).  Some are not.  I'm having difficulty getting an error message for the unsuccessful ones.

Here's my Python code:

# create conversion

click_conversion = client.get_type("ClickConversion")
click_conversion.conversion_action = conversion_action
click_conversion.gclid = click_id
if conversion_value is not None:
    click_conversion.conversion_value = float(conversion_value)
click_conversion.conversion_date_time = conversion_time
click_conversion.currency_code = conversion_currency_code

# upload conversion

conversion_upload_service = client.get_service("ConversionUploadService")
request = client.get_type("UploadClickConversionsRequest")
request.customer_id = customer_id
request.conversions.append(click_conversion)
request.partial_failure = True
offline_conversion_responses = conversion_upload_service.upload_click_conversions(request=request).results

# process response

for response in offline_conversion_responses:
    partial_failure = getattr(response, "partial_failure_error", None)
    code = getattr(partial_failure, "code", None)

    if code != 0:

        error_details = getattr(partial_failure, "details", [])
        errors = []
        for error_detail in error_details:
            failure_message = client.get_type("GoogleAdsFailure")
            GoogleAdsFailure = type(failure_message)
            failure_object = GoogleAdsFailure.deserialize(error_detail.value)
            for error in failure_object.errors:
                errors.append(error.message)
        error_message = 'Unknown Error' if len(errors) == 0 else '; '.join(errors)

The problem is partial_failure always seems to be None regardless of whether it was successful.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Walter

Hi Walter,

Thank you for raising this concern to the Google Ads API team.

Moving forward to your concern, as per this document, in Python the partial_failure_error attr is always present on a response message and is represented by a google.rpc.Status message. So we can't simply check whether the field is present, we must check that the code is non-zero.

Let us know if this is what you're looking for.

Thanks for your response.  I am checking the code after getting the partial_failure_error.   The problem is that the partial_failure_error is None (i.e., not present).

Thanks,

Hi Walter,

Thank you for the reply. I am also a member of the Google Ads API team and let me provide support to your concern.

To take a closer look at the issue, could you provide the complete request and response logs with request ID and request header generated on your end? This information can be extracted when logging of API transactions is enabled on your end. If not, then you can follow this guide for the Python client library.

You can provide it via Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.
