Bug in developer.. cannot save changes in configuration in device types.. get unexpected error

General Discussion
1

just about any device type especially ones with my own configurTION PARAMETERS., WHEN I CHANGE SETTINGS I GET unexpected error popup… no errors whatsoever show up in logs.

i put extra debuggin in and nothing… the configuration function exits cleanly then the error pops up in the app…

heres an example.

more info the bug is definately in the app or back end. edited the configure function to have one line
log.debug “done” same unexpected error in app,

I’ve seen this before, on android only. Do you have an iOS device to verify it works on there?

5

Sorry, no apple devices.

6

Yeah, I would certainly say this is a back-end issue. I’ve seen it a few times over the years as well. Usually it just clears itself up.

Have you force closed the app and reopened it? It could be network related as well.

7

Actually removed and reinstalled. Same behavior

8

Magically working again. No response from support

It’s a bug with the Android app. Check your preferences input section of your DTH code, do you have a number input? If so then the Android app automatically adds a decimal to the input as the default value which then causes an invalid input exception. Solution, remove the decimal point manually.

No not my issue. There was no error in the.logs. if that was the case there would be an error.

No, there’s no error in the logs, it’s a validation error bug in the ST mobile app. It’s a UI bug that affects only a DTH preference input type number which has a default value in the ST Android Classic app.

If you clear the input or enter a valid number without a decimal the error goes away.

No didn’t change anything
.at.it worked with same values the next day
