Hi :) I am kinda new to python matrix nio and I am getting AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'type' for events returned using await client.room_get_state(room_id.room_id).

I am doing a for ... in loop over state.events where the dict in the error is the event out of the events list. On which I am trying to compare the type with a string.

state = await client.room_get_state(room_id.room_id)

for event in state.events:
    if event.type == "m.room.message":
        ....

state = await client.room_get_state(room_id.room_id)

for event in state.events:
    if event.type == "state_event_type_here":
        ....

In reply to@tulir:maunium.net
yes, looks like nio doesn't parse the events into dataclasses or anything like that, so they're just raw dicts

Another thing for room messages which are redacted I am getting lots of:

Failed validating 'required' in schema['properties']['content']:
    {'type': 'object',
     'properties': {'msgtype': {'type': 'string'}},
     'required': ['msgtype']}

On instance['content']:
    {}
Error validating event: 'msgtype' is a required property

when going backwards using await client.room_messages.

I dont care about the content but I do care about the message existing in the resulting list of events. Will they still exist or does this error cause them to disappear? 🤔

I'm familiar with the error message, and I was tracking it to: https://matrix-nio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/nio/events/misc.html

def validate_or_badevent(
    parsed_dict: Dict[Any, Any],
    schema: Dict[Any, Any],
) -> Optional[Union[BadEvent, UnknownBadEvent]]:
    try:
        validate_json(parsed_dict, schema)
    except (ValidationError, SchemaError) as e:
        logger.warning(f"Error validating event: {str(e)}")
        try:
            return BadEvent.from_dict(parsed_dict)
        except KeyError:
            return UnknownBadEvent(parsed_dict)

    return None

they are all events. You get a copy of the current value if you query:

res = await client.room_get_state(room_id)

they are all events. You get a copy of the current value if you query:

res = await client.room_get_state(room_id)

but also they get relayed by normal sync as they come by.
