Bug

get_authorization_status() in chargepoint.py iterates authorization_list (a dict, per its schema vol.Schema({cv.string: AUTH_LIST_SCHEMA})) with:

for auth_entry in auth_list:
    id_entry = auth_entry.get(CONF_ID_TAG, None)

Iterating a dict yields its keys (strings), not the entry dicts, so auth_entry.get(...) raises AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'. This happens on the first loop iteration for every Authorize.req, as soon as authorization_list has any entries at all -- regardless of whether the swiped id_tag would have matched one. The whole feature is unusable the moment it's actually configured with data, including for tags that should explicitly match an Accepted entry.

Traceback

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".../ocpp/charge_point.py", line 322, in _handle_call
    response = handler(**snake_case_payload)
  File ".../ocpp/routing.py", line 48, in inner
    return func(*args, **kwargs)
  File "custom_components/ocpp/ocppv16.py", line 1120, in on_authorize
    auth_status = self.get_authorization_status(id_tag)
  File "custom_components/ocpp/chargepoint.py", line 728, in get_authorization_status
    id_entry = auth_entry.get(CONF_ID_TAG, None)
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'

Fix

Iterate auth_list.values() instead of auth_list.

Testing

Confirmed live against a real charger (Schneider Electric EVlink Pro AC, OCPP 1.6J) with:

ocpp:
  default_authorization_status: Blocked
  authorization_list:
    fob_test_01:
      id_tag: "044517B2936984"
      authorization_status: Accepted

Before the fix: every Authorize.req errored (InternalError), including the listed tag.

After the fix, across repeated real swipes: the listed tag authorized (Accepted) twice, and four different unrecognized tags were each correctly denied (Blocked).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed authorization-list processing when entries are provided in dictionary format.
    • Authorization checks now correctly evaluate all configured entries.

get_authorization_status() iterated authorization_list (a dict, keyed by
an arbitrary id per the config schema) with `for auth_entry in auth_list:`,
which yields the dict's keys (strings), not its entry values. Calling
.get() on that string then raised AttributeError, so every Authorize.req
failed with an OCPP InternalError as soon as authorization_list had any
entries at all -- including id_tags that should have matched an explicit
entry, since the loop crashes on its first iteration regardless of match.

          id_tag: "044517B2936984"
          authorization_status: Accepted

Every Authorize.req errored before the fix, regardless of id_tag. After
iterating auth_list.values() instead: the listed tag authorizes
(Accepted) and four different unrecognized tags are correctly denied
(Blocked), across repeated swipes.

Walkthrough

The authorization status lookup now iterates through mapping values in CONF_AUTH_LIST, so dictionary-stored authorization entries are processed.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fda61

The change fixes dictionary-based authorization lists but still crashes authorization requests when the configured authorization data is list-shaped. Support for the accepted configuration shape must be added before merging.

Handle the list-shaped authorization configuration.

The supplied test path sets CONF_AUTH_LIST to a list. In that case, auth_list.values() raises AttributeError for every authorization request. Either migrate all configuration writers to the mapping shape, or support both mappings and lists before iterating.
