Item metadata and resources properties not working properly

Hey,

ArcGIS API for Python version:
2.4.0

ArcGIS Enterprise:

11.3

when running following code:

from arcgis.gis import GIS item_id = ... my_dir = ... item_resources_path = ... gis = GIS(profile='my_profile') item_obj = gis.content.get(item_id) """If no metadata available, we will get metadata.xml with title: Error: Metadata file does not exist or is inaccessible.""" item_obj.download_metadata(my_dir) """If no resources available, we will get .zip file, which is in fact HTML document""" item_obj.resources.export(item_resources_path)

It seems like a BUG in the API. Have anyone encountered this?

Regards,

Mikael
