AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'provider'

[dogsbody]

I am getting this error when trying to backup our DNS from ClouDNS and I've run out of things to try.

Any help would be very gratefully received.

Firstly, I have lexicon installed and working correctly...

$ export LEXICON_CLOUDNS_AUTH_PASSWORD=<REDACTED>
$ export LEXICON_CLOUDNS_AUTH_ID=<REDACTED>
$ lexicon cloudns list example.com AAAA
ID        TYPE NAME             CONTENT            TTL   
--------- ---- ---------------- ------------------ ------
391600939 AAAA host1.example.com  2001:db8:5::1     172800
391600999 AAAA host2.example.com  2001:db8:6::1     172800
391601009 AAAA host3.example.com  2001:db8:7::1     172800

But I can't get OctoDNS to do it's thing...

$ cat ./config/cloudns_test.yaml
---
providers:
  config:
    class: octodns.provider.yaml.YamlProvider
    directory: ./zones
    default_ttl: 3600
    enforce_order: True
  cloudns:
    class: octodns_lexicon.LexiconProvider
    lexicon_config:
      provider_name: cloudns
      cloudns:
        auth_id: "<REDACTED>"
        auth_password: "<REDACTED>"
zones:
  example.com.:
    sources:
      - cloudns
    targets:
      - config

... and when I run it...

Any leads at all as to what I am doing wrong would be VERY appreciated.

Thank you in advance

I ran into this very same issue. It turns out that Lexicon v3.14.0 made some very significant changes. These are not (yet?) reflected in octodns-lexicon. When I downgrade dns-lexicon to version 3.13 or lower, it works.

Thank you. That fixes that error but now I have the issue of CAA records not being supported :-(

I think I'll just write my own parser for the API, this has gotten too big with OctoDNS, octodns-lexicon & Lexicon :-)

Thank you for all your hard work on making this 👍

In that case, you probably want to take a look at https://gist.github.com/olafz/9660d6275a80155da0719739d866ce42 and save yourself some time ;) That gist contains a patch for the cloudns.py file from the Python dns-lexicon package to properly support CAA, MX and SRV records.

You are a star. You are right, this fixes everything for me. Thank you very much 🥇

yeah sorry this hasn't really kept up with the latest development
