What seemed to be running yesterday now stops working, and I actually don't get it ...

Traceback (most recent call last):
fritzab2matrix |   File "./fritzab2matrix.py", line 131, in <module>
fritzab2matrix |     fritzab2matrix()
fritzab2matrix |   File "./fritzab2matrix.py", line 77, in fritzab2matrix
fritzab2matrix |     msg_info = a['Date'] + " - " + a['Number']
fritzab2matrix | TypeError: string indices must be integers

Here's the code:

    l = get_message_list(message_list_url)
    print(l)                                                                    
    if l['Root'] == None or l['Root']['Message'] == None:
        return False
    else:
        message = l['Root']['Message']
        print(message)

    for a in message:

        # format the information regarding the message
        msg_info = a['Date'] + " - " + a['Number']
        ```

On the other - identically - machine with the same docker setup fritzab2matrix is running.
From the dict that broke on the first machine

OrderedDict([('Index', '20'), ('Tam', '0'), ('Called', '****002'), ('Date', '01.07.21 19:03'), ('Duration', '0:01'), ('Inbook', '0'), ('Name', 'Some Caller'), ('New', '0'), ('Number', '*******714'), ('Path', '/download.lua?path=/data/tam/rec/rec.0.020')]), OrderedDict([('Index', '19'), ('Tam', '0'), ('Called', '****002'), ('Date', '01.07.21 18:59'), ('Duration', '0:01'), ('Inbook', '0'), ('Name', 'Some Caller'), ('New', '0'), ('Number', '******714'), ('Path', '/download.lua?path=/data/tam/rec/rec.0.019')])

The structure of the messages dict doesn't seem to differ 🤔

Here is the dict of the broken setup

OrderedDict([('Index', '0'), ('Tam', '0'), ('Called', '*******850'), ('Date', '01.07.21 08:55'), ('Duration', '0:01'), ('Inbook', '1'), ('Name', 'Me mobil'), ('New', '1'), ('Number', '*******714'), ('Path', '/download.lua?path=/var/media/ftp/Storage-01/FRITZ/voicebox/rec/rec.0.000')])

Is it a problem after I deleted all messages on the first machine? So it's not a list of dicts?

Yes it is, after producing a second message the docker image worked also fine. (Except that the files couldn't be uploaded - whyever ...) So it's an issue with the xml2dict method i.e.

if there's only 1 message it throws a single ordered dictionary
if there are multiple messages it throws a list of ordered dictionaries

I have to fix this by adding the only message to a list.

Fixed https://git.ismus.net/homer77/FritzAB2Matrix/issues/4 by appending a single message to list.
