Get the account hierarchy under the current account thanks ManagerCustomerService, "Service __len__ not found"

[Vivien Morlet]

Hello,

I am trying to get all the accounts under a GoogleAds manager account thanks to the code samples you can find here:
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/samples/python/account-management#get-the-account-hierarchy-under-the-current-account

Unfortunately, the given sample doesn't work for me, and when I run the command: 

managed_customer_service = adwords_client.GetService('ManagedCustomerService',
                                               version='v201809')

I receive the following error message: 

googleads.errors.GoogleAdsValueError: Service __len__ not found

Unexpected error, recovered safely.

The client is well initialized, what did I wrong?

Thanks for your help.

I seem to have the same problem.

python3.8

My code: 

from googleads import adwords

def execute_request():
    adwords_client = adwords.AdWordsClient.LoadFromStorage(path="google_general/googleads.yaml")
    campaign_service = adwords_client.GetService('CampaignService', version='v201809')
    pass


context["dict_list"] = execute_request()

 Traceback:

I've just started studying the API. Namely, I'm trying to execute my first request (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/first-api-call#make_your_first_api_call)

Could you help me with this problem? At least how to localize it more precisely.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for reaching out. Vivien determined that this was a Pycharm issue so I would recommend reaching out to their support. Let me know if they are unable to assist you.

This seems to localize the problem a bit more precisely: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60153194/service-len-not-found-unexpected-error-recovered-safely/60189448#60189448

Hi Michael,

Vivien was able to get her program to work when she ran it in "Run" mode as opposed to "Debug" mode so hopefully that works for you as well. Please make sure you inform PyCharm support of the issue so that they can help provide a solution.

IDE is necessary mainly for debugging. If PyCharm can't debug, then it is useless. I informed their support. No reaction so far. I'm not sure that they will fix this bag.
