"Given data '' is not of type object." when empty array response. about angular-spring-data-rest HOT 12 CLOSED

Hi @bergacat1

well the _resources method is just resolving the links sections and not the embedded resources, as these are already fetched in the response. So if your userService returns the above object you could just do the following to get the externalUsers:

var externalUsers = user. _embeddedItems.externalUsers;
...

If this not works, could you please setup a codepen or similar which shows the issue with mocked data as with these examples it is quite hard to reproduce?

Thanks and regards,

The 'userService' returns an object with links to the 'externalUsers' of this user. So the problem occurs when calling the resource 'externalUser' (which exists) but returns the JSON in the previous comment.

Here is an example which reproduces the error.

It is an IntelliJ project, I couldn't implement it in a codepen. You have to install bower components to run the project.

Tell me if you have any doubt.

Thank you!

Hi @bergacat1

sorry for my late reply. I will promise that I will checkout your project this week as I will have some spare time.

Hi @bergacat1

I could reproduce the error and it looks like if the _embedded holds an empty array the processor does not work. I still have a strange issue with the tests for the fix, but I will commit this asap.

As a short workaroung: could you please try to replace the following line 309 inside the SpringDataRestExample/bower_components/angular-spring-data-rest/dist/angular-spring-data-rest.js folder:

...
if (value instanceof Array && value.length > 0) {
...

with

...
if (value instanceof Array) {
...

And tell me if that works now for you?

Thanks and regards,

Hi @bergacat1

I now fixed it on master. Could you please test it with the master and then tell me if everything works? If yes I will release a new version for you with this bug fixed.

Hi @guylabs,

I discovered the same bug and tested your fix right ahead - seems valid to me.

Thanks!
