Filtering Datasources using the "In" Operator #826
Description
When attempting to filter using the "In" operator on datasources, I am able to filter a single source using "Equals" but if I switch to "In" and supply a list, I get "400065: Bad Request. The filter query is missing a value for key 'name'."
Versions
Tableau Server Version: 2019.4.2 (20194.20.0119.2058) 64-bit Linux
Python 3.8.4
TSC library version - 0.15
To Reproduce
import tableauserverclient as TSC
username = ""
pw = ""
site = ""
tableau_auth = TSC.TableauAuth(username, pw, site)
server = TSC.Server('https://HOSTNAME/', use_server_version=True)
req_option = TSC.RequestOptions()
jobs_to_refresh = ['Example Job 1','Example Job 2']
with server.auth.sign_in(tableau_auth):
req_option.filter.add(TSC.Filter(TSC.RequestOptions.Field.Name,
TSC.RequestOptions.Operator.In,
jobs_to_refresh))
matching_datasources, pagination_item = server.datasources.get(req_options=req_option)
print(matching_datasources[0].name, matching_datasources[0].id)
Results
400065: Bad Request. The filter query is missing a value for key 'name'.

@tuse0708 are you still facing this issue?
I've not been able to reproduce the problem so far. Can you show what are your actual names you're providing in
jobs_to_refresh? I can see some past issues when those names have ampersands or dashes in them.tuse0708 commentedon Apr 26, 2021
@bcantoni I am still facing the issue. The code reads as follows......
jobs_to_refresh = ['Stroke and AMI NPOA Extract','Readmission Dashboard Extract']

I'll double-check this to make sure our docs/example show it correctly.

Supported. Use
TSC.RequestOptions.Operator.Inwith a list of values.
