[INTTEST-65] restconf_modules python3 type mismatch

Mon, 6 Jan 2020 18:19:34 +0000

While testing ODL with Functest in OPNFV, we ran into a python3 str vs bytes mismatch in restconf_modules.robot. See downstream Jira ticket [1].

The problem manifests similar to [3] and seems to be caused by [2].

============================================================================== Basic & Neutron.Basic.Restconf Modules :: Test suite to verify Restconf is OK. ============================================================================== Get Controller Modules :: Get the restconf modules, check 200 stat... | FAIL | TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

Changing resp.content to resp.text fixes the issue; and it should also be backwards compatible with python2.
