Content.GetInfo(contentId) always returns empty table

[EmiMods]

Content.GetInfo(contentId) appears to always return an empty table (#table == 0).

To provide a bit of information on my usecase, I've been testing using contentIDs between 252 and 624. My cutoff of 624 appears to correlate to 252 + the number of visible titles in Aurora, which is 372 for me, but that may just be coincidence. Testing with Aurora 0.7b.2.

Do they exist in the database?

I also assume you've put the permission object to allow access to Content as documented here; https://github.com/XboxUnity/AuroraScripts/tree/lua-annotations?tab=readme-ov-file#script-permissions

I believe they do exist in the database. Inside Content.db, the ContentItems table has entries with contentID of 252-382. When using Content.GetInfo(335), which is Black Ops in that table, I still get a table of 0 length.

Content is indeed defined in my script permissions. If I try to use Content.GetInfo on a number outside of 252-624 I get a nil response with "Invalid Content ID" so the method does appear to get accessed.

It does indeed sound like a bug, and having a quick look at the code tells me what the problem likely is, i can't verify anything right now, but - we'll look into it closer and fix it.

This is one of those features that haven't been used by anyone yet i think

Yeah I wasn't able to find a single script using it so I think you're right. Thank you!

@EmiMods run this and let me know what it logs:

local function testContentInfoQueries()
    print("calling Content.FindContent()...")
    local found = Content.FindContent()
    print(#found .. " items.")

    if #found > 0 and found[1] then
        local findResult = found[1]
        print(string.format("[1] = {name='%s', id=%d, ..}", findResult.Name, findResult.Id))

        print("calling GetInfo(" .. findResult.Id .. ")...")
        local getResult = Content.GetInfo(findResult.Id)

        if getResult then print(getResult) end
    end
end

[edit] output on my console:

@Ste1io Issue was between chair and keyboard.

TL;DR I was mapping the table length incorrectly. You put me on the right track and I sorted it out, thank you.
