  2. Load The Counter Object File Using The GXDLMSObjectCollection.load Method For Gurux Dlms Python

Load the counter object file using the GXDLMSObjectCollection.load method for gurux dlms python

Hello, please help me,

When I try to load my collectionObject file using the method, GXDLMSObjectCollection.load from the gurux library for python, I get the error: can only concatenate str (not "GXDLMSData") to str.

The file is saved in .xml format and the structure seems correct. Below is an extract from my code:

reader.initializeConnection()
path = Path(os.getcwd())
path = path.joinpath("devices.xml")
print(path.absolute())
try:
t = GXDLMSObjectCollection.load(file_=path.absolute())
except Exception as ex:
print(ex)

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

This was tested and it's working without problems. It's tested with Linux using Python 3.11.2 and in Windows 3.11.6.

What version you are using and in what environment?

BR,
