I have a script that is working intermittently. When I load the POST into Insomnia it works every time. This script was working for me earlier, but now I’m having issues. I’ve looked over the script multiple times and can’t see anything.
It only works with one character in the parameter. Its very odd that adding additional characters produces different errors.
Any ideas?
Try isolating that script by itself and then run it. I’m curious.
Definitely tried that last night and again this morning. I have secluded the error to JSON.parse(). It fails intermittently as shown in the gif videos (works with “F”. fails on “Fr”. fails on “Fre”, works with on “French c”, Fails with “French”). Additionally, I’ve validated the JSON data and I don’t see any errors with all of these returns.
I’m about ready to take my frustration out on my monitor…

Hmm, I’d have my doubts its the function itself, will be using .net framework meaning used in many many softwares.
Also I use this function many times in my PMS intergration which has to have processed hundreds of thousands of requests between booking data sync, room posts and epos sales between 4 hotels…
Where were you copying the returned json from to validate?
Return the raw json within samba and ctl+c when return dialogue is up and paste to json formatter.
You just need to remove the

OK

Off the bottom from the buttkn
The return didn’t let me copy, so I use Insomnia (https://insomnia.rest/) for sending REST requests and getting the raw data.

Unless changed in latest versions it should if you do ctl+c, not right click.
Maybe I didn’t notice because I was trying to select the text first. Either way, the response is above. I put that into the script and tried to parse it and I get the error.
comment out the json.parse line so you get get the raw json samba is using.
copy&paste that script here…
that test() wont work…
i meant your search script, return data with parse commented out
Not really sure what you’re getting at with test(), it has the data posted in as its being returned. If you want my script with the parse commented out then I need to comment out other logic. This is not the actual script since I’m returning the length normally.
Run searchresults(“french”)
//Get Cocktail Reults
function searchresults(name)
{
var u = 'https://www.thecocktaildb.com/api/json/v1/1/search.php?s='+name;
var data = web.Download(u);
// var results = JSON.parse(data);
var results_return = 0;
// Get the number of results
// if (results.drinks!=null) {
// results_return = results.drinks.length;
// } else {
// results_return = 0;
// }
return data;
}
There are errors in the returned json…
Unescapes quotes
San Francisco is returned in ‘fr’ but not ‘f’ and obviously not ‘fre…’
Doesn’t work for me. What is the link to the validator you’re using and what is the search you did?
‘json formatter’
Am on 5.3.0 on this machine.
CTRL+C when the return popup is open?
‘French 75’ has invalid chars, lookes like linebreak…
Checked your list for works and fails.
‘f’ doesnt return ‘French 75’ for some reason, perhaps they are pagnating returned results?
Your issue is invalid json from that site.
