[OWSLib-users] error in CSW insert transaction : Document is XML, but not CSW-ish

[Chiarello Ernest]

Hi all,

I am trying to insert a metadata in GeoNetwork, according OWSlib 
documentation <https://geopython.github.io/OWSLib/> but it fails with 
this error message :
RuntimeError: Document is XML, but not CSW-ish

But above all, i think quotes are missing in the csw transaction. you 
should write :

>>>csw.transaction(ttype='insert',  typename='gmd:MD_Metadata',  record=open("file.xml").read()) instead of : >>> 
csw.transaction(ttype='insert',  typename='gmd:MD_Metadata',  record=open(file.xml).read())  


Next i recovered a file from another GeoNetwork, in order to be sure 
that the metadata file would be correct.

wget 
https://georchestra-mshe.univ-fcomte.fr/geonetwork/srv/fre/xml.metadata.get?id=17804 
-O metadata.xml

And then i tried to insert this metadata in my GeoNetwork Dev machine :

 >>> geonetwork = 
'http://geonetwork-mshe.univ-fcomte.fr:8080/geonetwork/srv/fre/csw'
 >>> from owslib.csw import CatalogueServiceWeb
 >>> csw = CatalogueServiceWeb(geonetwork)
 >>> csw.transaction(ttype='insert', typename='gmd:MD_Metadata', 
record=open("metadata.xml").read())
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/owslib/csw.py", line 446, in 
transaction
     self._invoke()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/owslib/csw.py", line 680, in 
_invoke
     raise RuntimeError('Document is XML, but not CSW-ish')
RuntimeError: Document is XML, but not CSW-ish

Can anybody explain to me why my metadata.xml file is not CSW-ish ?

Thanks in advance,

Ernest.
