dashboard.switch.createNetworkSwitchAccessPolicy doesn't seem to be working properly from Python

[shngrhm27]

I'm trying to create a new access policy with a Python script using the Meraki library.

I'm 'getting' the model policy from a known good network switch, & trying to 'put' it on a few more network switches.

access_policy = dashboard.switch.getNetworkSwitchAccessPolicies(network_id)
ap_name = access_policy[0]["name"]
radiusServers = access_policy[0]["radiusServers"]
dict_radiusServers = radiusServers[0]
pop_radiusServers = dict_radiusServers.pop('serverId')
radiusServers = [dict_radiusServers]
radiusTestingEnabled = access_policy[0]["radiusTestingEnabled"]
radiusCoaSupportEnabled = access_policy[0]["radiusCoaSupportEnabled"]
radiusAccountingEnabled = access_policy[0]["radiusAccountingEnabled"]
hostMode = access_policy[0]["hostMode"]
urlRedirectWalledGardenEnabled = access_policy[0]["urlRedirectWalledGardenEnabled"]
radius = access_policy[0]["radius"]
guestPortBouncing = access_policy[0]["guestPortBouncing"]
radiusAccountingServers = access_policy[0]["radiusAccountingServers"]
dict_radiusAccountingServers = radiusAccountingServers[0]
pop_radiusAccountingServers = dict_radiusAccountingServers.pop('serverId')
radiusAccountingServers = [dict_radiusAccountingServers]
radiusGroupAttribute = access_policy[0]["radiusGroupAttribute"]
accessPolicyType = access_policy[0]["accessPolicyType"]
increaseAccessSpeed = access_policy[0]["increaseAccessSpeed"]
guestVlanId = access_policy[0]["guestVlanId"]
dot1x = access_policy[0]["dot1x"]
voiceVlanClients = access_policy[0]["voiceVlanClients"]
urlRedirectWalledGardenRanges = access_policy[0]["urlRedirectWalledGardenRanges"]

response = dashboard.switch.createNetworkSwitchAccessPolicy(network_id, ap_name, radiusServers, radiusTestingEnabled, radiusCoaSupportEnabled, radiusAccountingEnabled, hostMode, urlRedirectWalledGardenEnabled,
                                                            radius,
                                                            guestPortBouncing,
                                                            radiusAccountingServers,
                                                            radiusGroupAttribute,
                                                            accessPolicyType,
                                                            increaseAccessSpeed,
                                                            guestVlanId,
                                                            dot1x,
                                                            voiceVlanClients,
                                                            urlRedirectWalledGardenRanges)

Here's a printout of all those variables:

True 
100 
{'controlDirection': 'both'}

['10.0.0.0/8']

I'm getting an error message:

 response = dashboard.switch.createNetworkSwitchAccessPolicy(network_id, ap_name, radiusServers, radiusTestingEnabled, radiusCoaSupportEnabled, radiusAccountingEnabled, hostMode, urlRedirectWalledGardenEnabled,
radius,
...<7 lines>...
voiceVlanClients,
urlRedirectWalledGardenRanges)
TypeError: Switch.createNetworkSwitchAccessPolicy() takes 9 positional arguments but 19 were given

I was able to create a policy using the Meraki Developer Hub Dashboard API, only after enabling the 'walledgarden' & adding a subnet.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

You have given all you arguments as positional arguments to the function

dashboard.switch.createNetworkSwitchAccessPolicy

but the function expects only some of the arguments as positional, the rest should be keyword arguments, like in the below function call

response = dashboard.switch.createNetworkSwitchAccessPolicy(
    network_id, name, radius_servers, radius_testing_enabled, radius_coa_support_enabled, radius_accounting_enabled, host_mode, url_redirect_walled_garden_enabled, 
    radius={'criticalAuth': {'dataVlanId': 100, 'voiceVlanId': 100, 'suspendPortBounce': True}, 'failedAuthVlanId': 100, 'reAuthenticationInterval': 120, 'cache': {'enabled': False, 'timeout': 24}}, 
    guestPortBouncing=False, 
    radiusAccountingServers=[{'organizationRadiusServerId': '42', 'host': '1.2.3.4', 'port': 22, 'secret': 'secret'}], 
    radiusGroupAttribute='11', 
    accessPolicyType='Hybrid authentication', 
    increaseAccessSpeed=False, 
    guestVlanId=100, 
    dot1x={'controlDirection': 'inbound'}, 
    voiceVlanClients=True, 
    urlRedirectWalledGardenRanges=['192.168.1.0/24']
)
