some character is truncated during API execution

[victorygit]

Recently we found some special character is removed from the text field when we try to get them from API call.

One example is value "'A' crew" become "A' crew" (the first quote is missing)
Another example is value "Eng Department'" become "Eng Department" ( the apostrophe ' is missing)

I tried to debug the code and after the entity execution, we don't get these characters, however if I run the same API with postman, the result looks ok.

Does anyone have the similar issue?

Thanks
Victor

Hi @victorygit
I am sorry I was not able to address this for such long time. In near future it is not much better for me, however contrary to other issues "something is wrong on our service" which are quite unreproducible, this seems that is at lest possible to create a failing test.

1. it is only about character ' present in the value? Or do you see any other special character missing in pyodata field? (my first guess would be that both " / ' are python strings wrappers.)

2. I am not sure what postman does around responses, do you see the valid response in a browser or with Curl?

3. with what code you are trying to get to text field with pyodata? no sample code added here.

4. would calling get_value().execute().content ( raw value of a primitive property, eg GET serviceRoot/Airports('KSFO')/Name/$value)

5. ideally, are you able to create a PR with failing test reproducing the issue? Take inspiration from mocked responses in https://github.com/SAP/python-pyodata/blob/master/tests/test_service_v2.py
