--------------------------------------------------------------
The woes of my cursed Multi-Graph script continue:

I know I can use rpt.getGraphDefs()  to return all of the GraphDef objects that belong to a given report.  However I should be able to use rpt.getGraphDef(graphdef.id)  to return a specific graph definition.  Except it doesn't work.

Assume all previous variables are created correctly.
...         print gdef.id
...         type(gdef)
...         type(gdef.id)
...
MSF test-xx-test in
<type 'ImplicitAcquirerWrapper'>
<type 'str'>

This is as expected.

gd = rpt.getGraphDef('MSF test-xx-test in')
type(gd)

<type 'NoneType'>

It doesn't work as I'm expecting.
...     if rpt.getGraphDef(gdef.id):
...         print "Holy Cow it's worked!"
...

Doesn't result in anything.

I'm super stumped on this one.  I've tried working around it using a for in / if loop using getGraphDefs() but this just didn't fit the requirements.

James:

org=dmd.Reports._getOb('Multi-Graph Reports')
rpt=org._getOb('Provider Connections')
graphs=rpt.getGraphDefs()

for graph in graphs:
    graph.id
    graph.__class__

You can also:

graph=rpt.graphDefs._get('PPS-Inbound-Outbound')
graph.id
graph.__class__

Best,
