NameCheap Create Error

[laserjet25]

When trying to add a TXT record to the NameCheap sandbox I receive the following error:

Remote: 3 To set: 4 Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python310\lib\runpy.py", line 196, in _run_module_as_main return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, File "C:\Python310\lib\runpy.py", line 86, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "C:\Python310\Scripts\lexicon.exe\__main__.py", line 7, in <module> File "C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\lexicon\cli.py", line 131, in main results = client.execute() File "C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\lexicon\client.py", line 90, in execute return self.provider.create_record(record_type, name, content) File "C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\lexicon\providers\base.py", line 79, in create_record return self._create_record(rtype, name, content) File "C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\lexicon\providers\namecheap.py", line 207, in _create_record self.client.domains_dns_add_host(self.domain, record) File "C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\lexicon\providers\namecheap.py", line 423, in domains_dns_add_host self.call("namecheap.domains.dns.setHosts", extra_payload) File "C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\lexicon\providers\namecheap.py", line 354, in call xml = self._fetch_xml(payload, extra_payload) File "C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\lexicon\providers\namecheap.py", line 390, in _fetch_xml raise _ApiError(0, "Unknown exception") lexicon.providers.namecheap._ApiError: 0 - Unknown exception

This is the command I ran: lexicon namecheap create mydomain.com TXT --name Test2 --content ITWORKS --auth-token MyToken --auth-username MyUsername --auth-client-ip WhitelistedIP --auth-sandbox

@laserjet25 - did you ever figure this out? @AnalogJ - any ideas?

Wow, its already been a year.... I haven't tried this again since but had no luck in getting this to work with Namecheap. I'll probably try again sometime this week and see if it magically got fixed.

@laserjet25 so it turns out there's a bug in the code for reporting errors. If you fix the code as in https://github.com/AnalogJ/lexicon/pull/1743 (you can edit the file path mentioned in your stack trace), you should be able to see the real error.

In my case it was:

lexicon._private.providers.namecheap._ApiError: 2030288 - Cannot complete this command as this domain is not using proper DNS servers
