Invalid JSON response using create

[mogenshoj]

Hi

I encountered a bug with the response from the create() method. I'm getting an error for invalid syntax: Error: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: expected property name or '}' at line 1 column 2 of the JSON data.

The console showed the response as:

{\"success\":true,\"errors\":[],\"id\":\"a0224000001COAKAA4\"}

Which should work.

But I put a console.log into the code before JSON.parse and saw this response:

{"success":true,"errors":[],"id":"a0224000001COAKAA4"}

I'm not sure why it returns encoded characters for ". It works with every other call I've used so far (first create call I have used so far).

I solved the issue by putting a replace into the JSON.parse argument, like so:

a=JSON.parse(a.replace(/"/ig,'"'))

I can't seem to find a non-minified version (is one publicly available?), so I had to do it in the minified version. I'm sure you can see where it belongs.

This is an interesting bug. I'm looking into it. I'd rather not apply the work around (a.replace...) until we understand why it's happening more fully. (no offense)

The un minified source is always available at this repo under the jsSrc/* directory.

I believe the unminified file you're looking for is here: https://github.com/noeticpenguin/ngForce/blob/master/jsSrc/subModules/ngForce-visualForceRemoting.js

Ahh, there is it. Thank you :)

No problem not adding the workaround, I just needed to get it working for now.

I think I might have figured out the problem here. On create (or update, or bulkUpdate).. pretty much anything except query or queryFromFieldset, the "this.standardOptions" passed in is undefined. For the aforementioned methods, the options are explicitly defined.

The end result of this is that the VF remoting default of escaping the result is in place. This is a "bad thing".

So we need to get those standardOptions defined at instantiation time.

I believe i've fixed this now.
