Environment Information

Operating System: macOS 10.14.6
softlayer-python version (slcli --version): 5.8.0

Upgraded to 5.8.2 and see the same error

Just seen in a new provisioned nodes so possibly it is related with new nodes?

Quick workaround:

return {'allotment': (allotment or {}).get('allocation'), 'useage': useage}

The right solution will come after understanding why self.client.call return '' for allotment.

(and usage would be better instead of useage)

[allmightyspiff]

The right solution will come after understanding why self.client.call return '' for allotment.

The API does this when a relational property doesn't have any values. So in this case the hardware in question doesn't have a bandwidth allotment. Now, I'm not sure if every server is supposed to always have an allotment, but its certainly something we can work around with in the CLI.
