Problems when updating metadata properties via cmislib

Hi:Have you tried to update properties via CMIS after a repo.query with python cmislib ? I created a little script that searchs for two documents (kk.txt and kk3.txt) and tries to set / update a property on it.It seems that someDoc.updateProperties(props) should work, where props are the proper dict

Wasn't there a bug in 0.5.1 with Alfresco cmis, returning less elements than expected on repo.query?

Tried iterating over result and accessing name as property of the element ( for result in results: print result.name )?

Maybe that helps...

Thanks Martin, it is quite strange. I didn't lose elements. Iterating over the result does not help... it seems that the objects resulting from repo.query is somehow different.

I walkarounded doing an extra repo.getObject query with the results of the repo.query

results = repo.query("SELECT * FROM cmis:document where cmis:name = 'kk3.txt' ")
#someDoc = results[0]
someDoc = repo.getObject('workspace://SpacesStore/'+results[0].id)
print someDoc
pprint(someDoc)
props = {'cmis:name': 'kk4.txt'}
someDoc.updateProperties(props)

It is for 2M documents so I'll lose some time in the extra query

Regards.

Hi Cesar,

then it MUST be the version problem, even if the document is not versioned. Try

someDoc=results[0].getLatestVersion()

Hope it works...

It works like a charm Martin, thank you very much.

Best regards.
