[NET] ARCtrl.Template.Web.getTemplates fails

[Kevin Frey]

This is the code i am running:

#r "nuget: ARCtrl, 2.0.0-alpha.6.swate"

let templateUrl = @"https://github.com/nfdi4plants/Swate-templates/releases/download/latest/templates_v2.0.0.json"

ARCtrl.Template.Web.getTemplates (Some templateUrl)
|> Async.RunSynchronously
|> fun (x: Map<string,ARCtrl.Template>) -> x.Values |> Seq.item (x.Count-1)

It fails, but the error message is so big, the console is not able to display the upper end (i scroll all the way up and it still shows json string):

Warning

Not sure why or when, but it now returns Map<name, template> which is strange?

[Lukas Weil]

Working on it. Problem seems to be that the decoder expects a json object but the encoder codes to an array.

[Kevin Frey]

Maybe kill this map logic? i would have also expected an array

[Lukas Weil]

Yup

[Lukas Weil]

Seems like we did actually write Objects (Dictionaries) in ARCtrl v1.x.x:

Here as an example the Templates.json File from the Swate-Templates release

As you can see, instead of an array, we have a dictionary where the key is the path to the template.

[Kevin Frey]

Maybe the idea was, that we wanted to improve loadtime but first offering a list of names, then parsing and reading the specific file. But this was postponed. So maybe just return an array and write an array

[Lukas Weil]

Also we now don't have the path information at all.
