"Invalid library sectionID: None" after PlexPartialObject.reload() #1380
Description
Describe the Bug
For some reason explicitly calling reload() on PlexPartialObject causes this object to lose librarySectionID value which causes any data editing attempts to fail with exception "Invalid library sectionID: None".
I have tried to compare Music Album genres for all albums to a local list, but .search() was loading only 2 genres for each album. To get the full list of genres, album has to be reloaded but after reloading it is not editable.
Code Snippets
album = plex.library.section('Music').searchAlbums(limit=1, filters=...)[0]
print(album.section()) // <MusicSection:x:Music>
album.reload()
print(album.section()) // NotFound: Invalid library sectionID: NoneExpected Behavior
Reloading an object shouldn't cause it to lose the connection to the library section it was found in and should remain editable.

Found a quick workaround: store
librarySectionIDvalue beforereload()and restore it after:JonnyWong16 commentedon Mar 5, 2024
I can't reproduce the issue.

Then what's the difference? I don't think that Plex version difference alone causes it. I repeated the same test in Python shell on both Jupyter container and on MacOS to exclude environment differences.

I honestly don't know.
But it looks like your album doesn't have a title
<Album:110968>. Maybe that's a clue?krin-san commentedon Mar 5, 2024
No, it's not. It's one of
Various Artistsalbums with incorrect tags. Issue is still reproducible if I randomize search result with.searchAlbums(limit=1, sort='random')and run multiple times.
