Multiple avoid problems #382
Description
Problem
When I passed the avoid parameters in the distance_matrix method, it told me that it is an invalid restriction. However, I wonder if it's possible to allow multiple avoid options like avoid=tolls|highways|ferries.
Thank you!
Environment details
- API: Distance_Matrix
- Win 10 v2004
- lib version: 4.4.2, Jupyter Notebook
Steps to reproduce
- Simply add multiple avoids in the
distance_matrixparameter
Code example
# example
gmaps = googlemaps.Client(key=YOUR_KEY)
gmaps.distance_matrix(origins=SOMEPLACE,destinations=SOMEPLACE, mode='driving', avoid='tolls|highways|ferries')Stack trace
# example
D:\Program_Files\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\googlemaps\distance_matrix.py in distance_matrix(client, origins, destinations, mode, language, avoid, units, departure_time, arrival_time, transit_mode, transit_routing_preference, traffic_model, region)
107 if avoid:
108 if avoid not in ["tolls", "highways", "ferries"]:
--> 109 raise ValueError("Invalid route restriction.")
110 params["avoid"] = avoid
111
ValueError: Invalid route restriction.

I've confirmed that multiple arguments are supported by Distance Matrix API, just as they are with Directions API. Getting the documentation updated to reflect that.
I've left some review comments in #417 to hopefully get that merged soon.
