Help with os.execute in lua script

[Kjakan]

This command work for me in command line:

Code: Select all

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"text": "Test Message"}' http://192.168.2.34/api/notify

How can I get this command to run in lua?

This does not work.

Code: Select all

os.execute ('curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"text": "Test Message"}' http://192.168.2.34/api/notify')

Code: Select all

/lua/script_variable_Timelapse.lua:15: ')' expected near '{'

I'm guessing I need to escape some characters, but not sure how.

Try

Code: Select all

os.execute('curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \'{\"text\": \"Test Message\"}\' http://192.168.2.34/api/notify')

Thanks for the response. No error in domoticz, but command did not execute.
I've tried different ways, but I may be missing something.

try:

Code: Select all

os.execute('curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \"{\"text\": \"Test Message\"}\" http://192.168.2.34/api/notify')

or

Code: Select all

os.execute('curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"text\": \"Test Message\"}" http://192.168.2.34/api/notify')

what OS you are using?

[Kjakan]

Debian bookworm.

Still no luck. No error in domoticz and command not execute.

If I change -d '{\"text\": \"Test Message\"}' to -d "{\"text\": \"Test Message\"}" the command will not work and no error in domoticz,

This works in command line, but not in lua. No error in domotiicz, but command not execute.

Code: Select all

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"text\": \"Test Message\"}" http://192.168.2.34/api/notify

Any other easy way to send json to http api in lua?

What about this version

Code: Select all

os.execute('curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \'{"text": "Test Message"}\' http://192.168.2.34/api/notify')

[Kjakan]

Same result. No error in domoticz, but command not execute.

From command line

curl: (3) unmatched close brace/bracket in URL position 13:
Test Message}'

[Kjakan]

Try

Code: Select all

os.execute('curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \'{\"text\": \"Test Message\"}\' http://192.168.2.34/api/notify')

This is working. I messed up somwhere
Thanks for the help.

And may be it is better to use domoticz.executeShellCommand ?

Or domoticz.openURL?

I take a look at this. Thanks.
