Dear Mrab,
Even with "return stdout.strip().decode("utf-8")", it still seems to be an
issue, I am using python 3.6, is this causing a issue?
/home/srinivasan/Downloads/wifidisconnectissuenov23_homework/venv/bin/python
/home/srinivasan/Downloads/wifidisconnectissuenov23_homework/qa/test_library/test4.py
printing stdout!!!!!!!!!!
printing retcode!!!!!!!!!! 0
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/home/srinivasan/Downloads/wifidisconnectissuenov23_homework/qa/test_library/test4.py",
line 37, in <module>
main("Apartment 18", "40672958689850014685")
File
"/home/srinivasan/Downloads/wifidisconnectissuenov23_homework/qa/test_library/test4.py",
line 34, in main
return stdout.strip().decode("utf-8")
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
Process finished with exit code 1
Many Thanks in advance
