I am using scripts provided under gvm-tools, when I run the gvm-script command for pdf report generation I get an error as "‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘encode’ ".
The syntax I followed for scanning is $ gvm-script --gmp-username name --gmp-password pass \ ssh --hostname scripts/scan-new-system.gmp.py <host_ip>
The syntax I followed for pdf report is $ gvm-script --gmp-username name --gmp-password pass \ ssh --hostname scripts/pdf-report.gmp.py <report_id> <pdf_file>
Can someone please help me solving this error.
The screenshot of output is as shown below-

By referring previous post I got an updated script for pdf-report.gmp.py. I did the correction of content line but again got an error as “Incorrect Padding”.The script i used is as follows:
from base64 import b64decode
from pathlib import Path
def check_args(args):
len_args = len(args.script) - 1
if len_args < 1:
message = """
This script requests the given report and saves it as a pdf file locally.
It needs one parameters after the script name.
1. <report_id> -- ID of the report
Optional a file name to save the pdf in.
Example:
$ gvm-script --gmp-username name --gmp-password pass \ssh --hostname
<gsm> scripts/pdf-report.gmp.py <report_id> <pdf_file>
"""
print(message)
quit()
def main(gmp, args):
# check if report id and PDF filename are provided to the script
# argv[0] contains the script name
check_args(args)
report_id = args.argv[1]
if len(args.argv) == 3:
pdf_filename = args.argv[2]
else:
pdf_filename = args.argv[1] + ".pdf"
pdf_report_format_id = "c402cc3e-b531-11e1-9163-406186ea4fc5"
response = gmp.get_report(
report_id=report_id, report_format_id=pdf_report_format_id
)
report_element = response[0]
# get the full content of the report element
content = "".join(report_element.itertext())
# convert content to 8-bit ASCII bytes
binary_base64_encoded_pdf = content.encode('ascii')
# decode base64
binary_pdf = b64decode(binary_base64_encoded_pdf)
# write to file and support ~ in filename path
pdf_path = Path(pdf_filename).expanduser()
pdf_path.write_bytes(binary_pdf)
print('Done. PDF created: ' + str(pdf_path))
if __name__ == '__gmp__':
main(gmp, args)
