IllegalStateException on request.JSON

General Discussion
1

I am not sure what I am missing here, but I have followed some examples on how to get a JSON object from a request. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get it to work.

Here is the relevant app code:

mappings {
  path("/devices/:id") {
  	action: [
      PUT: "go"
    ]
  }  
}

def go() {
    def data = request.JSON
    log.debug data
}

here is my test client code (important crap removed):

import requests, json

api_endpoint = 'https://graph-na02-useast1.api.smartthings.com/api/smartapps/installations/XXXXXXXX'

headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer XXXXXXX'}

url = api_endpoint + '/devices/lamp'
data = {'command': 'on'}

r = requests.put(url, data=data, headers=headers )

here is the error I get:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: getReader() has already been called for this request

I am testing this in the simulator, which I am not sure if that could be the issue or not, but either way it is frustrating. I feel like I am missing something obvious, but at this point I am beating my head against a wall and thought I’d see if someone else can see something I’m not seeing.

Same thing is happening to me. Anyone able to figure out what’s going on here?

Old thread… but I sure wish I knew what was going on.

In my mappings I have:

path("/:type/:id") {
    action: [
        GET: "_api_get",
        PUT: "_api_put"
    ]
}

And the put method starts like this:

def _api_put() {
	log.info "request ${request}"
	def json = request.JSON

So there shouldn’t to my knowledge be anything executing on the PUT request path before my method. The log.info goes through (showing for example physicalgraph.api.FilteredHttpServletRequestWrapper@1a4a771d), but any attempt to access request.JSON results in something like java.lang.IllegalStateException: getReader() has already been called for this request @ line 192

I assume some type of invisible Groovy magic is calling getReader earlier. But for the life of me I can’t see what it is. Very frustrating. Even more frustrating that of course this must work fine for other people. :slight_smile:

I’m having the exact same problem. I found a way around it, but the problem is still annoying. I fixed it (on accident) by specifying the access_token in the URL instead of as a header.

curl -X PUT -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" -d {"POST_OR_PUT":"data"} https://graph.api.smartthings.com/api/smartapps/installations/appidThing/Phone/endpoint

Running that returns:

{"error":true,"type":"java.lang.IllegalStateException","message":"An unexpected error occurred."}

However, both of these work just fine:

curl -X PUT -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" -d {"POST_OR_PUT":"data"} https://graph.api.smartthings.com/api/smartapps/installations/appidThing/Mapping/endpoint?access_token=<access_token>

curl -X PUT -d {"POST_OR_PUT":"data"} https://graph.api.smartthings.com/api/smartapps/installations/appidThing/Mapping/endpoint?access_token=<access_token>

So if you feel like passing your access token in as a parameter, then it should work. However that’s dumb and it should work without it.
