Hi,

running below dzVents Lua test snippet (openURL) gives error "Error parsing json to LUA table" after finishing.
The openURL works, but the HTTP result isJSON=False!

Looked up the source of ~domoticz\dzVents\runtime\Utils.lua what the cause could be = seemed function fromJSON
Implemented a workaround = adding check on string empty, no error anymore.

Any hints appreciated what the cause could be and how to resolve --- without below workaround.

Code: Select all

function self.fromJSON(json, fallback)
	-- ADDED: Check if a string is empty 
	if _.str(json) == nil or _.str(json) == '' then
		return fallback
	end
...

Thx. for reporting.

The error message does not break the execution of the script and- is in fact correct.
The return from the HTTP call states in the header that the content is 'application/json' but it does not send a valid JSON.

If you have influence on what the call returns I suggest that it will return something like
{
"status": "OK"
}

{
"status": "NOK"
}

I will discuss with some of the other dzVents / domoticz developers if we want to keep the errormessage for this or that we check if the Content-Length > 0 and if false ignore the header information on Content-Type and continue without any log message.
My personal opinion is that the error message should stay

Thanks for swift reply = will wait the outcome.

Unfortunate do not have influence on the HTTP response.
This is a HTTP RESP-API PUT request to a HomeMatic CCU using the addon CCU-JACK.

In the dzVents script tried to cheat = the item gets changed also shown in the log but same error.

Code: Select all

if (item.isHTTPResponse) then
    local headers = item.headers
    headers['Content-Length'] = "15"
    item.headers = headers
    item['isJSON'] = true
    item['data'] = '{"status":"OK"}'
    domoticz.log(item)
 end

Code: Select all

Result of the discussion is that we will adjust the check and will not show the error when the response is empty or '' .
This will be in one of the next builds (beta)

Just curious. You asked for a callback in the openURL, do you only expect 'a return' or do you expect something specific?

Posted: **Saturday 06 March 2021 11:23**

That's good news - Thanks a lot.

Regarding your question:
The callback is used to get the status text (dzVents item.statusText) as described in the HomeMatic CCU Addon CCU-JACK documentation:
Result OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Result NOK: Errors are shown in the HTTP-Status
An error could be given if for example a wrong serial number for a device is provided in the HTTP request: "Not Found". 404
