Homebridge crashes

[grzegorz914]

Hi,

please look at this crashlog:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0
    at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
    at IncomingMessage.<anonymous> (/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-jablotron/lib/jablotron-client.js:56:38)
    at IncomingMessage.emit (events.js:333:22)

Same here. And no sign in MyJablotron-App possible. Maybe a server problem?

[misncz]

Yes, server problem

[grzegorz914]

if server make problems, plugin cannot crash the homebridge

@grzegorz914 you are right, it is not programmed defensively enough. But I'm not sure what we should give back if the system is down, I'm not aware of a state of error.

And I would prefer to see an error than to have it return some value and not knowing if that value is the actual value or an error value.

Any ideas?

Now we get this without Homebridge crash:

[3/5/2020, 7:37:58 PM] [Alarm] {
  status: false,
  error_status: 'service_unavailable',
  error_message: 'The service is not available.',
  checksum: '01b7cd8d40b14b97cbe8364440d285c1',
  server_id: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  client_id: null
}
[3/5/2020, 7:37:58 PM] [Alarm] Error: service_unavailable
    at /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-jablotron/lib/jablotron-client.js:25:31
    at IncomingMessage.<anonymous> (/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-jablotron/lib/jablotron-client.js:56:17)

    at endReadableNT (_stream_readable.js:1201:12)

If server is down return error value and prevent homebridge crash.

[fdegier]

Ok gotcha.

The server seems to be working again, however for me Home app still does not update.
