Description

Describe the bug

I am trying to get all of my task lists. I have my app set up with the ClientSecretCredential flow, and when I call the following:

user = await self.app_client.users.by_user_id(self.user_id).get()

in order to call:

res2= await user.todo.lists.get()

the todo field is None:

User(additional_data={'@odata.context': 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users/$entity'}, ... todo=None, ... )

which means that the previous call to users.todo.lists errors with AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lists'

Is this expected behavior? If so, how do I call this endpoint?

Expected behavior

In the graph explorer, the query:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{userid}/todo/lists

returns all of my task lists. I'd like the above code snippets to also return the lists.

How to reproduce

Initialize Graph and app_client as in this tutorial then:

user = await self.app_client.users.by_user_id(USER_ID).get()
res2 = await user.todo.lists.get()
