Project issue.author.id throwing error - 'dict' object has no attribute 'id'

[CordThomas]

Description of the problem, including code/CLI snippet

I have code that is used to identify the author of an issue:

issue_author_id = issue.author.id

The author should be a json object that i feel should be an Author object but is being returned as a dictionary, not sure why. So, now i have to convert a number of these calls to issue.author['id']

Expected Behavior

Return the ID of the author object

Actual Behavior

Throws an error:

AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'id'

Specifications

• python-gitlab version: 1.5.1
• API version you are using (v3/v4): v4
• Gitlab server version (or gitlab.com): 10.2.1

Hi @CordThomas

The author attribute is a dict, so you need to use issue.author['id'].

Thanks @gpocentek

I have the same error for this, please help.

import json
import boto3

table = boto3.resource('dynamodb').Table('voters')
#dynamodb = boto3.resource('dynamodb')
#table = dynamodb.Table('voters')

def lambda_handler(event, context):

response = table.get_item(
    Key={
    'id' : event.id
    
         }
)

return { 200, response["Item"]}

Response:
{
"errorMessage": "'dict' object has no attribute 'id'",
"errorType": "AttributeError",
"stackTrace": [
" File "/var/task/lambda_function.py", line 12, in lambda_handler\n 'id' : event.id\n"
]
}

This is the python-gitlab library, not boto3.
