P4 table entry insert from p4runtime docker container shell is broken in advanced branch

[ysanjeevreddy]

Hi,
I see the following error when i call insert() on a table_enrty object created on p4runtime shell in advanced branch. Any help in this regard is much appreciated.
Please look at the following logs

P4Runtime sh >>> te = table_entry["IngressPipeImpl.l2_exact_table"](action = "IngressPipeImpl.set_egress_port")

P4Runtime sh >>> te.match["hdr.ethernet.dst_addr"] = ("00:00:00:00:00:1B")
field_id: 1
exact {
value: "\033"
}
P4Runtime sh >>> te.action["port_num"] = ("4")
param_id: 1
value: "\004"

P4Runtime sh >>> te
Out[4]:
table_id: 33605373 ("IngressPipeImpl.l2_exact_table")
match {
field_id: 1 ("hdr.ethernet.dst_addr")
exact {
value: "\x1b"
}
}
action {
action {
action_id: 16812802 ("IngressPipeImpl.set_egress_port")
params {
param_id: 1 ("port_num")
value: "\x04"
}
}
}

P4Runtime sh >>> te.insert() --verbose

Thank you for your help in advance.

so did you solve this problem ? I have meet this one

[ysanjeevreddy]

Yes, you need to set canonical bytestrings as false before passing any flow configurations. you can do it with the following p4 runtime command. global_options["canonical_bytestrings"] = False Thanks
