Agent Code

Seems to be an issue with my AgentCode somewhere. Although, I’m not getting much information from this error. I’ve gotten it multiple times on a device that was left idle. Any ideas on what this could be from?

It’s either coming from your squirrel code, or a library that you’re using. What libraries are you using?

3

Using the following libraries.

#require "Rocky.class.nut:2.0.2"
#require "Firebase.agent.lib.nut:3.2.0"
#require "OAuth2.agent.lib.nut:2.0.1"
#require "JSONEncoder.class.nut:2.0.0"

Seems to be an issue with my Firebase implementation…

Can you post any more of your code?

The error is being thrown here: https://github.com/electricimp/Firebase/blob/235a16fbfaf79ee546ab4a2808bc7e0b4869c349/Firebase.agent.lib.nut#L552

…which implies that dataString is not good JSON; “patch” isn’t JSON, and neither is “patchevent: (…)” which is why it’s falling over.

However, I don’t know enough about firebase to know why you’d be getting bad JSON here. Are you pushing non-JSON text up to the database? @betsyrhodes knows more about Firebase…

Seeing event: in there makes me think that you’re using Server-Sent Events, and that patchevent: patchevent: patchevent: is actually:

event: patch
event: patch
event: patch

… but that your data is malformed in some way. I don’t know enough about Firebase to know whether server-sent events is even a supported thing, though. If it is, it looks like the parser got itself out of sync and was expecting data: and got event:.
