kite.convert_position - kiteconnect.exceptions.InputException: Missing or empty field `exchange`"

prashantq

Hi,
Using python client, when I try to convert the MIS position to CNC, I get "*** kiteconnect.exceptions.InputException: Missing or empty field `exchange`" error.
I have verified all values are present and I also updated the client to the latest version.

```
if "MIS" == position['product'] and position['quantity'] > 0:
pdb.set_trace()
kite.convert_position(
exchange=kite.EXCHANGE_NSE,
tradingsymbol=position['tradingsymbol'],
transaction_type=kite.TRANSACTION_TYPE_BUY,
position_type=kite.VALIDITY_DAY,
quantity=position['quantity'],
old_product=kite.PRODUCT_MIS,
new_product=kite.PRODUCT_CNC
)
```

Hi Rakesh,
I am already using the latest version of the kiteconnect.

Below is the result:

(algo) C:\Users\prash>pip install --upgrade kiteconnect
Requirement already up-to-date: kiteconnect in d:\work\bash_config\.conda\envs\algo\lib\site-packages (3.9.0)

But the convert_position still fails

!kite.convert_position(
tradingsymbol='aplltd', #position['tradingsymbol'],
exchange='nse', 
transaction_type='buy',
position_type='day',
quantity=1, #position['quantity'],
old_product=kite.PRODUCT_MIS,
new_product=kite.PRODUCT_CNC
)
*** kiteconnect.exceptions.InputException: Missing or empty field `exchange`

same issue.

@rakeshr any update on this issue?

@prashantq
There are few issues coming up while releasing this version. We are checking on this.

@prashantq
This is fixed. You can upgrade to the latest version using pip install --upgrade kiteconnect and try the position_convertion method call.

It seems like it worked ..
but there was one issue..
I had to hard code the 'day' value instead of a constant.

position_type='day', #kite.VALIDITY_DAY,

@prashantq
You don't need to. You can use POSITION_TYPE_DAY constant. Check this assignment.
