missing wsdl:service definitions in the WSDL

Question

I'm trying to use ZEEP to do SOAP requests.

I got this request:

def status(request, IP):
    URL = "http://" + IP + "/Service"
    session = Session()
    session.auth = HTTPBasicAuth('username', 'password')
    client = Client(URL,
                    transport=Transport(session=session), strict=False)

    response = client.service.Method1(request={'getList'})

    return response

But I'm hitting the error missing wsdl:service definitions in the WSDL.

I'm stuck and can't find any more way to fault search. Got any ideas?

Edit for context. This is a hardcoded request that works and I'm trying to do with zeep:

 def GetList(session, IP):        

        request = '<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">'
        request = request + '<soapenv:Header>'
        request = request + '<session>' + session + '</session>'
        request = request + ' </soapenv:Header>'
        request = request + ' <soapenv:Body>'
        request = request + '<getList/>'
        request = request + '</soapenv:Body>'
        request = request + '</soapenv:Envelope>'

        request = u"""""" + request + """""".format()

        encoded_request = request.encode('utf-8')

        headers = {"Host": ""+ IP +"",
                   "Content-Type": "text/xml; charset=UTF-8",
                   "Content-Length": str(len(encoded_request)),
                   "SOAPAction": ""}

        response = requests.post(url="http://"+ url +"/Service",
                                 headers=headers,
                                 data=encoded_request,
                                 verify=False)

        return response.content

Edit 2. Add the wsdl

Answer 1

You have to add the ?wsdl at the end of your URL variable.

Also, the way you are making the call is not correct. A call to getList should look like:

def status(request, IP):
    URL = "http://" + IP + "/Service?wsdl"
    session = Session()
    session.auth = HTTPBasicAuth('username', 'password')
    client = Client(URL,
                    transport=Transport(session=session), strict=False)

    response = client.service.getList([add the arguments here])

    return response
