HTTP module does not execute - nativescript

I am trying to receive a string from a server in android app, but the code does not execute and even the console.log does not print anything
const httpModule = require("tns-core-modules/http");
function requestList()
{
httpModule.getString("https://******.php").then(
(r) => {console.log("I am at the request function ");//This line is not printed
},
(e) => {console.log("I am at the request function too ");//This is not printed too
}
);
console.log("This the end of the function"); //This line is printed OK
}
I don not receive any error message related to this
At least the console.log must be shown so I can tell that this module is actually working in my app

So after creating a playground project I was able to communicate with the server,
also I should have used wait and async in my original code, so it is a newbie mistake after all

Angular 8 patch request httpclient.subscribe() doesnt hit response, err or ()

I am encountering an issue I do not understand.
Inside one service I have the following code.
when the code hits PATCH LINE, it jumps immediately to RETURN NOTHING LINE.
the catchError line is not hit.
the () line is not hit
the err line is not hit.
I have compared this to working services and I do not see any difference.
patchItem(item_: Project): Observable<Project> {
const url: string = `${this.serviceUrl}/${item_.id}`;
const data = JSON.stringify(item_);
console.log('inside patch item');
console.log(url);
this.http.patch(url, data, httpOptions) //PATCH LINE
.pipe(
catchError(err => this.handleError('PatchItem', err))
)
.subscribe((response) => {
console.log('item patched ');
return this.myResponse.push(response);
}
, err => console.log("inline error encountered")
,() => console.log("this seems to have completed")
);
console.log("return nothing"); //RETURN NOTHING LINE
return null;
}
The API is C# webapi 2
It is being hit.
There is a problem though, I am expecting the JSON to be passed in and webForm_ is always NULL.
This is probably an important clue.
Again, i compare this to working calls and can not find a difference.
When I inspect the variable in jquery, it has the correct value.
In postman, i get the expected response.
[System.Web.Http.HttpPatch]
[Route("{itemId_}")]
public IHttpActionResult PatchById([FromUri] int itemId_, [FromBody] Models.mpgProject webForm_)
{
return JSONStringResultExtension.JSONString(this, "foobar for now", HttpStatusCode.OK);
}
To save a cycle, here is the handleError function.
I have copy/pasted this from a service that is working as expected.
protected handleError<T>(operation = 'operation', result?: T) {
return (error: any): Observable<T> => {
console.error(error); // log to console instead
console.log(`${operation} failed: ${error.message}`);
// Let the app keep running by returning an empty result.
return of(result as T);
};
}
How can Angular be skipping all the subscription stuff when it IS actually calling the API?
I think it has to be a simple syntax issue, but I have been staring at it for hours... :-(
Happy to post any other code requested...
tyia
ps - I would also be happy to retitle the question. I am at a loss for how to phrase a good question title for this...
Your handleError method returns a function (that returns an Observable) when it should return an Observable.
It looks as if the error handler you copied from another service does not fit here.
I could imagine an error handler like this:
private handleError<T>(operation = "operation", error: HttpErrorResponse) {
console.error(error); // log to console instead
console.log(`${operation} failed: ${error.message}`);
// Let the app keep running by returning an empty result.
return of({} as T);
}
This method returns an Observable of an empty object. However, this might not be the best option to react on a failing HTTP PATCH request. You would better throw that error up to the component and let the user retry.

cy.wait(#someXhr) taimeouts

I'm having a problem with stubbing a simple request to an API using the cypress' cy.server() and cy.route().
Here's the failing test:
it.only("should show an error message for server errors", () => {
const name = "It doesnt matter";
const email = "takenemail#yopmail.com";
const pass = "123123";
// run the server and define the stubbed route
cy.server();
cy.route(
"POST",
`${serverBaseUrl}/auth/register`,
"fixture:register-fail.json"
).as("postRegister");
// fill in the registration form and hit submit
cy.visit("/auth/register");
cy.get(selectors.registerForm.name).type(name);
cy.get(selectors.registerForm.email).type(email);
cy.get(selectors.registerForm.password).type(pass);
cy.get(selectors.registerForm.registerButton).click();
// intercept the request and mock it
cy.wait("#postRegister"); // this fails.
cy.get(selectors.registerForm.genericErrors).contains(
"This email has already been taken"
);
});
and the error:
cy.wait() timed out waiting 5000ms for the 1st request to the route: postRegister. No request ever occurred.
Note: even though it says that No request ever occurred. I can still see the request being send and a response received in the console's Network tab (which means the stub has been bypassed and a regular request's been made).
Any ideas what's happening?
Thanks in advance.
Ok, seems like i have found the problem.
It turns out that using the fetch API is not supported by cypress.
The workaround - using whatwg-fetch, which is basically a polyfill for the fetch api, working with XHR behind the scenes.
Install the whatwg-fetch package: npm install whatwg-fetch --save
Import it in your project: import "whatwg-fetch";
Last, but very important - remove the fetch object from the window before every page load in the cypress environment like this:
// you can define this in the commands file for example...
Cypress.on("window:before:load", (win) => delete win.fetch);
or an alternative, per-visit approach:
it("some test", () => {
cy.visit("/url", {
onBeforeLoad: win => delete win.fetch // <---
});
// ...the rest of the test
});
Doing this will kick-in the polyfill and the stubbing should be working properly after this intervention.

The browser overwrites the content of the message after receiving the response

I have a little problem with DingoAPI and Vue.js when I'm trying to get my error message from response. I think the browser is replacing my custom message by the default one. Here is my code:
PHP script
if($request->readerId){
Return succes (this works properly)
else{
return $this->response->error(
'No reader',
400 //(or diffrent code)
);
}
Vue.js script
await axios.post(API_URL + 'card/', {
some data
}, {
headers: {
headers
},
}).then(({data}) => {
context.commit(SET_RESPONSE, data);
}).catch((error) => {
console.log(error.message);
throw error
})
When I'm trying to look on my message in the network tab I can see (so DingoAPI did it correctly):
{"message":"No reader","status_code":400}
But when I'm using console.log(error.message) or trying to show it on the page there is standard error message:
Request failed with status code 400
Is there a way to set error message with DingoAPI and catch it in my .js script?
Maybe I need to write my own custom exception?
What you want is access to the data of the response from your error variable.
console.log(error.response.data.message); // No reader
Otherwise you can log error.response to see the object:
console.log(error.response);
If you wonder why it's printing Request failed with status code 400:
The problem is when the console.log tries to output the error, the string representation is printed, not the object structure, so you do not see the .response property.

How to get more error information from an Angular http ajax call

I have been trying to diagnose a http problem for what seems forever now.
I thought I would go back to a very simple sample Ionic (Angular) application I can use to test, where I have the following test code...
public onClick() : void {
this.http.get(this.url).subscribe(res => {
this.result = res.statusText;
console.log(res);
}, error => {
this.result = `failed ${error.statusText}`;
console.log(error);
});
}
The url just comes from an input.
If I force an error, (eg put an incorrect url), I notice the error from the observable always has a status os 0, and no statusText. In the browser network tab, I see the 404 as expected...
identityx 404 xhr polyfills.js:3 160 B 10 ms
Is there a way to get better error information back from the http call, rather than just 0 all the time (and no status text)? I've look through the error object, but can't see anything.
Thanks in advance!

How listen for events in Hyperledger Fabric Composer?

I haven't received any event notifications and am wondering if I am missing something.
I followed the instructions from the Fabric Composer website to define the BasicEvent in my cto model and added the code for creating and emitting events in a transaction and updated the network. I created a separate eventListener.js program that subscribes to the events using the businessNetworkConnection using the code sample from the website.
After I start my eventListener.js app it seems to be listening (after receiving the connected status message in console, nothing else happens...it doesn't go back to the normal prompt line.)
I then execute the transaction that should emit the event and it runs successfully but no event is received in the other terminal window where the eventlistener.js is running.
Here is the key part of the eventListener.js program:
businessNetworkConnection.connect(connectionProfile, businessNetworkIdentifier, participantId, participantPwd)
.then((result) => {
businessNetworkDefinition = result;
console.log('Connected: BusinessNetworkDefinition obtained=' + businessNetworkDefinition.getIdentifier());
});
businessNetworkConnection.on('event', (event) => {
// event: { "$class": "org.namespace.BasicEvent", "eventId": "0000-0000-0000-000000#0" }
console.log(event);
});
Is the businessNetworkConnection.on('event', (event) ... command supposed to cause the program to appear to hang while its listening?
If so, is there something else that could be done to troubleshoot where the problem is?
I'm using v0.6 HLF on local Docker.
I think your issue is that you don't wait for the businessNetworkDefinition to be connected before you register your listener. Remember that the then block is executed asynchronously and your following businessNetworkConnection.on code will execute immediately.
You should add a second then block to register your listener after the businessNetworkDefinition has been connected.
e.g.
return adminConnection.connect('hlfv1', 'admin', 'adminpw')
.then(() => {
return BusinessNetworkDefinition.fromDirectory(path.resolve(__dirname, '..'));
})
.then((businessNetworkDefinition) => {
return adminConnection.deploy(businessNetworkDefinition);
// return true;
})
.then(() => {
businessNetworkConnection = new BusinessNetworkConnection();
return businessNetworkConnection.connect('hlfv1', 'my-network', 'admin', 'adminpw');
})
.then(() => {
businessNetworkConnection.on('event', (event) => {
console.log( '****** received the event ' + JSON.stringify(businessNetworkConnection.getBusinessNetwork().getSerializer().toJSON(event)));
});
});
I wrote a sample code for a basic sample application developed by Hyperledger team. You can check out about from this code snippet: SampleEventListener
