API request to add "place" to a drop does not work
dan-king opened this issue · comments
The API request to add a "place" to a drop is broken. In some cases a response is returned that indicates it succeeded.
But after each attempt I am no longer able to get any drops from the given river or bucket. I must first remove the place before the given river/bucket's drops can be viewed again.
I'm trying to use the API to add places to drops as documented:
Attempt # 1
INPUT TO API:
request_path: /buckets/300/drops/149920/places
request_parameters: { "name":"Tacoma", "type":"point", "coordinates":[ [ -122.5161, 47.302 ] ] }
request_method: POST
request_headers: Array ( [Content-Type] => application/json [Accept] => application/json )
RESPONSE FROM API:
{"id":283451,"type":null,"longitude":0,"latitude":0,"name":"Tacoma"}
RESULT:
Can no longer retrieve any drops from the bucket. Have to remove the place before I can see the drops again.
request_path: /buckets/300/drops/149920/places/283451
request_parameters:
request_method: DELETE
request_headers: Array ( [Content-Type] => application/json [Accept] => application/json )
Attempt # 2
Tried again using lon/lat parameters
INPUT TO API:
request_path: /buckets/300/drops/149920/places
request_parameters: { "longitude": -122.5069, "latitude": 47.2994, "type":"point", "name":"Ruston" }
request_method: POST
request_headers: Array ( [Content-Type] => application/json [Accept] => application/json )
RESPONSE FROM API:
{"id":283452,"type":null,"longitude":-122.5069,"latitude":47.2994,"name":"Ruston"}
RESULT:
Same result. Can no longer retrieve any drops from the bucket. Have to remove the place before I can see the drops again.
request_path: /buckets/300/drops/149920/places/283452
request_parameters:
request_method: DELETE
request_headers: Array ( [Content-Type] => application/json [Accept] => application/json )
Attempt # 3
Tried again using quotes around the lon/lat values:
INPUT TO API:
request_path: /buckets/300/drops/149920/places
request_parameters: { "longitude": "-122.5069", "latitude": "47.2994", "type":"point", "name":"Ruston" }
request_method: POST
request_headers: Array ( [Content-Type] => application/json [Accept] => application/json )
RESPONSE FROM API:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'An error occurred: array ( 'message' => 'Drop 149920 already has the place Ruston with coordinates [47.299400, -122.507004]', )' in /opt/firsttosee/swift/api2.php:232 Stack trace: #0 /opt/firsttosee/swift/api2.php(249): API_Client->exec_api_request('/buckets/300/dr...', '{??"longitude":...', 'POST', Array) #1 {main} thrown in /opt/firsttosee/swift/api2.php on line 232
Note that I had already removed the place from the drop in order to restore the bucket. So why did I get the error that it already has this place?
Attempt # 4
Tried one last time with quotes around lon/lat values. I rounded the numbers to avoid the duplication error from Attempt #3.
INPUT TO API:
request_path: /buckets/300/drops/149920/places

RESPONSE FROM API:
{"id":283453,"type":null,"longitude":-122.507,"latitude":47.299,"name":"Ruston"}
RESULT:
Same problem: I can no longer retrieve any drops from the bucket. Have to remove the place before I can see the drops again.
