JSON won't load, for some reason. about get5 HOT 14 CLOSED

If I can see past your first redaction correctly, it looks like you added http:// to the URL. Don't do that. I had the same issue with loading a match from a URL with my PUG system. Hope this helps, and if that's not the issue then God help you.

Already done, same thing.

In that case, check you root directory for the json file that the plugin downloads. The way get5 works is it takes the JSON from the URL and downloads it locally to the server's root directory. I don't recall what it names it but it shouldn't be that difficult to find. If the JSON file is filled with HTML and other bullshit, then it's an issue with actually grabbing the JSON file from the URL. The only other thing I can think of is making sure your JSON is formatted properly. Mind pasting it here?

@dechristopher
It worked before with the same JSON file, only after we updated the plugin & added some features it started to happen.
Anyway:

In that case I've got no idea. I've done plenty of additions to the plugin as well but none have broken JSON formatting. I hate to say it, but you've probably messed something up in the code somewhere. I'd run a diff on your code and the latest dev build to try to see where you could've gone wrong. I hope to god you've kept track of your changes in version control somewhere. If not then I can't really help you without looking at your codebase myself.

Also, just FYI, in the maplist, you have de_nuke written as de_Nuke. You should make sure CS map names are all lowercase.

@dechristopher
It doesn't matter, it's not working with or without lowercase (and it worked with lowercase characters before)
I also updated the plugin this moment to the latest version and it won't work as well.

If Sean's builds aren't working for you, then it's either something with the DNS on the box your CS server is on or it's just user error altogether. I can't really go any deeper without looking at the system myself. Again, check the root directory for the JSON file the server downloads. It's contents can help diagnose the issue more.

@dechristopher
An earlier build is working, that's what's weird..

from get5.

Can you give exact build numbers / commits that work and don't work? Additionally, can you post the output of sm exts list?

The behavior of the config fetching changes slightly based on whether system2 or steamworks is being used. If both are available, it defaults to using system2.

I was able to successfully run get_loadmatch_url dl.splewis.net/test.json from b43869d.

If the build is working on Sean's JSON, it may be a problem with the server you're downloading from.

@splewis
Successfully loaded, I guess it's a problem with the directory.
@dechristopher
The game servers and the website are on the same box, I guess the problem is coming from a lack of access to the JSON files. Hope that what I'm planning to do gonna fix it.

Thanks!

Make sure you can visit the URL in your browser, and additionally chmod the directory recursively as 755.
