ProjectLabel objects are not JSON serializable聽#1116
Description
Description of the problem, including code/CLI snippet
Idea is to use Gitlab-Python to manage Labels in numerous project in a more scallable way 馃槄
MWE
# setup gl-py
gl = gitlab.Gitlab(GITLAB_ADRESS, private_token=TOKEN, ssl_verify=False)
gl.auth()
#get the project
src_prj = gl.projects.get(SRC_PRJ_ID)
# try to serialize the first Label Project
with open('data.txt', 'w') as outfile:
json.dump(src_prj.labels.list(all=True)[0], outfile)Get the following
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: Object of type ProjectLabel is not JSON serializableExpected Behavior
The Gilabl-python object are well serialized into JSON
Actual Behavior
The serialization crashes 馃槖
Specifications
- python-gitlab version: 2.2 (pip)
- API version you are using (v3/v4): v4
- Gitlab server version (or gitlab.com): 11.10.0

You can always request the
.attributesof an objects. That should be json serializable, but I guess it would make sense for all projects to be serializable.Btw. your GitLab version is not supported by python-gitlab and it's dangerous to use. No security whatsoever, all vulnerabilities of it are public. You should upgrade to 13.0.0

@max-wittig Thanks for the solution on
.attributesand yes a "builtin" solution would be nicerAgree for the GitLab version but this is a corporate internal-only use forge pending upgrade to 13.X pending (long-due) hardware migration (always the same music it seems).

@MatthieuPERIN Maybe you should raise some security concerns and include this page with all vulnabilities 馃槃 https://hackerone.com/gitlab/hacktivity

I have proposed #1872 that would allow you to serialize the objects.
If merged it would allow:
Maybe ignore this for now as I was not aware of
