Problem with google.protobuf.StringValue

[zion03]

Hi! I have the following proto-buff schema:

message User {   
string firstName = 1;
google.protobuf.StringValue email = 2;
}

And payload looks like this:

{
firstName: "User name",
email: 'user@email.com'
}

And I'm receiving following error:

{
    "error": {
        "message": "invalid payload",
        "paths": [
            [
                "email.object expected"
            ]
        ],
        "correctBodyExample": " { \"firstName\": \"User name\",   \"email\": \"user@email.com\"}"
    }
}

But when I convert email into the object it works correctly:

{
firstName: "User name",
email: { value: 'user@email.com' }
}

Could you advise how to fix this problem? Thanks!

Hi. There's a couple of things you could try.

It isn't clear if you have imported the proto reference at the start of your proto file?

And have you tried using double quotes for the email field of the payload?

Let me know if either of those work.

@zion03 did this work? 🤞

Same problem for me with the following schema:

syntax = "proto3";

import "google/protobuf/wrappers.proto";

message PowerData {
  google.protobuf.StringValue powerSource = 1;
  google.protobuf.StringValue batteryStatus = 2;
  google.protobuf.StringValue lastUpdated = 3;
  google.protobuf.DoubleValue powerSourceVoltage = 4;
  google.protobuf.DoubleValue batteryVoltage = 5;
  google.protobuf.Int32Value batteryPercent = 6;
  google.protobuf.BoolValue batteryLow = 7;
  google.protobuf.BoolValue batteryChargeOk = 8;
  google.protobuf.BoolValue psuOk = 9;
}
