enclosures property does not exist if entry has an id but no link

[philgyford]

Normally I find that an entry's enclosures property always exists, but is an empty list if the entry has no enclosures.

However, if an entry has an id, but no link, then the enclosures property does not exist.

Three examples of this with Atom feeds (I think it was the same with RSS), using python 3.10 and feedparser 6.0.10:

1. Has link but no id - enclosures property exists

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <title>Test feed</title>
  <link href="https://example.org/"/>
  <id>https://example.org/</id>
  <entry>
    <link>https://example.org/items/1</link>
    <title>Hello</title>
    <published>2022-12-07T10:40:00+00:00</published>
    <summary>Hello.</summary>
  </entry>
</feed>

>>> d = feedparser.parse("https://example.org/test.xml")
>>> d.entries[0].enclosures
[]

2. Has both link and id - enclosures property exists

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <title>Test feed</title>
  <link href="https://example.org/"/>
  <id>https://example.org/</id>
  <entry>
    <link>https://example.org/items/1</link>
    <id>https://example.org/items/1</id>
    <title>Hello</title>
    <published>2022-12-07T10:40:00+00:00</published>
    <summary>Hello.</summary>
  </entry>
</feed>

>>> d = feedparser.parse("https://example.org/test.xml")
>>> d.entries[0].enclosures
[]

3. Has id but no link - enclosures property does not exist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <title>Test feed</title>
  <link href="https://example.org/"/>
  <id>https://example.org/</id>
  <entry>
    <id>https://example.org/items/1</id>
    <title>Hello</title>
    <published>2022-12-07T10:40:00+00:00</published>
    <summary>Hello.</summary>
  </entry>
</feed>

>>> d = feedparser.parse("https://example.org/test.xml")
>>> d.entries[0].enclosures

     68 elif key == 'license':

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

--> 158     raise AttributeError("object has no attribute '%s'" % key)

AttributeError: object has no attribute 'enclosures'

I agree that this should not crash. I'll work to get this resolved.

Thanks for reporting this!

Hi, any news on this one? This prevents some feeds from being parsed
