Strange json behaviour in QA


Alex de Bruin

Recommended Posts

When i use

   local HT = json.decode(fibaro.getGlobalVariable("HomeTable"))

in a QuickApp, i get the following error:

 

[21.08.2022] [18:31:41] [DEBUG] [QUICKAPP24]: /usr/share/lua/5.3/json/util.lua:55: bad argument #1 to 'for iterator' (table expected, got number)[21.08.2022] [18:31:41] [ERROR] [QUICKAPP24]: QuickApp crashed[21.08.2022] [18:31:41] [ERROR] [QUICKAPP24]: Unknown error occurred: handleJsonRpc

 

In a scene this is no problem.

 

When i change it to:

   local jHT = fibaro.getGlobalVariable("HomeTable")
   local HT  = json.decode(HT)

then all goes well.

 

On my HC2 i use the nesting in both scenes and VD's

works.

fibaro.getGlobalVariable("HomeTable") returns 2 values. The value of the global and the modification time.

These two values are then sent to json.decode as two arguments. Unfortunately, json.decode accepts a second argument that are options for the decode, a table. However, modification time is a number so it fails when it tries to iterate over the table with options...

A simple way to convert 2 return values to one return value in Lua is to put parentheses around the call, like (fibaro.getGlobalVariable("HomeTable"))

So,

    Still strange that the same function fibaro.getGlobalVariable when used in a scene returns only one value.

    Yes, for some reason Fibaro has different implementations for the fibaro.* functions when it comes to scenes and QAs. The scene version don't return the modification time...
