Expected behaviour you didn't see

When listing devices with FIWARE ServicePath wildcard, documented here, all devices under the FIWARE service should be returned.

Unexpected behaviour you saw

A response with status code 200 is returned, but with empty device list.

Steps to reproduce the problem

curl --location 'http://localhost:4061/iot/devices' \
--header 'fiware-service: test' \
--header 'fiware-servicepath: /*' \
--data ''

Repsonse:

{
    "count": 0,
    "devices": []
}

Configs

  environment:
      - "IOTA_CB_HOST=orion"
      - "IOTA_CB_PORT=1026"

This is actually a docu-bug. That capability has not been ever available in IOTA APIs and the documentation is wrong mentioning it. PR #1556 fixes the documentation.

The ability to query base in service path wildcards belong to Orion Context Broker. Have a look to this section of the documentation: https://github.com/telefonicaid/fiware-orion/blob/master/doc/manuals/orion-api.md#service-path (btw, the wilcard is # and not *...).

Thanks for raising this!

Ah okay thanks! One last question: querying Configs Groups with /* works, will this get removed then?

querying Configs Groups with /* works, will this get removed then?

Strictly speaking, we have not removed it, as you cannot remove something that never has been there ;)

More precise would be to say: querying query Config Groups with /* is not within the IOTAs functionality.
