Updating to Version 5.170 breaks 'scenes PUT API' - Internal Server Error, error code 500

[StuartR 0]

Hi,

 

On updating to version 5.170.13 the /scenes/{sceneID} PUT API gives an error code 500 and 'Internal Server Error'. 

 

This occurred with both the Admin account and an account with the new access structure.

 

Rolling back to version 5.160.42 it works fine, completing the changes successfully with a 204.

 

Has anyone else had this?  Any workarounds?

What are you trying to change in the scene structure?

I'm on 5.170.13 even if my signature says something else...

Thanks very much for testing. 

 

I am updating the execution time in a set of conditions with a PUT to /api/scenes/246 with {'conditions': [{'group': 'time', 'isTrigger': True, 'operator': 'match', 'property': 'cron', 'type': 'hour', 'value': ['30', '21', '*', '*', '*', '*']}, {'group': 'time', 'isTrigger': True, 'operator': 'match', 'property': 'cron', 'type': 'hour', 'value': ['00', '22', '*', '*', '*', '*']}, {'group': 'time', 'isTrigger': True, 'operator': 'match', 'property': 'cron', 'type': 'hour', 'value': ['30', '22', '*', '*', '*', '*']}], 'operator': 'any'}

@StuartR we checked and works normally.

Could you paste here the whole API for this specific scene?

Hi I am doing the call from Python using request, so it is json_read_device_values = requests.put(f"http://{hcl_host}/api/scenes/246", data=json_text, auth=(hcl_user, hcl_password))

 

the full JSON is

{
    "id": 246,
    "name": "Immersion On",
    "description": "",
    "type": "json",
    "roomId": 457,
    "mode": "automatic",
    "maxRunningInstances": 2,
    "icon": "User1007",
    "iconExtension": "png",
    "hidden": false,
    "protectedByPin": false,
    "stopOnAlarm": false,
    "restart": true,
    "enabled": true,
    "content": "[{\"actions\": [{\"args\": [], \"id\": 799, \"action\": \"turnOn\", \"type\": \"single\", \"group\": \"device\"}], \"conditions\": {\"operator\": \"any\", \"conditions\": [{\"property\": \"cron\", \"operator\": \"match\", \"value\": [\"30\", \"21\", \"*\", \"*\", \"*\", \"*\"], \"type\": \"hour\", \"isTrigger\": true, \"group\": \"time\"}, {\"property\": \"cron\", \"operator\": \"match\", \"value\": [\"00\", \"22\", \"*\", \"*\", \"*\", \"*\"], \"type\": \"hour\", \"isTrigger\": true, \"group\": \"time\"}, {\"property\": \"cron\", \"operator\": \"match\", \"value\": [\"30\", \"22\", \"*\", \"*\", \"*\", \"*\"], \"type\": \"hour\", \"isTrigger\": true, \"group\": \"time\"}]}}]",

}

Don't update the whole structure - you can't update all fields, ex. the id.
Just update the content part. This works for me

Note that the value of 'content' is a string - that is a json encoded condition expression.

Thanks very much for that, I will upgrade again and test it.

please try to remove spaces from "content"

Thanks trob that was it.  The default behavior of Python json.dumps includes white space after commas and colons.  So bring the content in and out of a dictionary was adding white space.  It appears the upgrade of HC3 to does not like the extra padding.  So stripping it back out before the call works.
