Hello I am trying to save an order with shopify python sdk but I get a strange error after the save calling:
{'base': ['is invalid']}
what does error mean?
Topic summary
Main issue: Saving an order via the Shopify Python SDK returns a validation error: {‘base’: [‘is invalid’]} after calling save.
Reported causes:
- Invalid product tags, including disallowed characters like {} and malformed tag lists (e.g., “,tag1, tag2, {}”).
- An invalid telephone number associated with the order.
Resolution: The original poster identified the root cause as an invalid phone number. Correcting the telephone number allowed the order to save successfully.
Implications: The error message is non-specific and can be triggered by various invalid field values. Common culprits highlighted here are tag formatting/characters and phone number validity.
Recommended checks before saving:
- Validate phone number format according to expected standards.
- Sanitize tags to remove disallowed characters (e.g., {}) and fix formatting.
Status: Resolved for the original reporter; the thread underscores multiple potential data-validation causes for the same error.
This is not a new thread but I had the same issue, my issue was that I was the product with invalid tags (,tag1, tag2, {})
Seems like the {} is invalid.
I discovered that the problem was caused by an invalid telephone number.
