opensocial.Container.get().makeRequest is not a function

Reply Contact

As of a few minutes ago, my previously working js file has started failing with this error message:

opensocial.Container.get().makeRequest is not a function

Is anyone else encountering a similar problem?

Thanks,

Naseem

This is the response from a GET makeRequest:

I'm getting a similar problem: opensocial.ContentRequestParameters has no properties.

I'm also getting a 404 for this request: http://api.msappspace.com/OpenSocial/MyOpenSpace001.Mappers.v07.js

And I have been getting 500 errors for these requests: http://api.msappspace.com/proxy/relay.proxy

Not sure if your problem has the same root cause as mine - for me, it was an error on the myspace side.

It just started working again a few minutes later with no changes from my end.

Sorry I can't be more helpful...

I think opensocial.Container.get().makeRequest is an opensocial 0.6 call. With 0.7 being launched a couple of hrs ago the correct call would be something like gadgets.io.makeRequest(). I got this code but it doesnt work yet... anyone care to correct?

<div id="target" style="padding:0px;">waiting....</div>

catch(er){ target.style.backgroundColor = '#f00'; target.style.color = '#fff'; target.innerHTML = er.message; }
}
</script>

It's working for me, but returning an object as the content. The content.text property contains the output.

It's working for me, but setting AUTHENTICATION to AuthorizationType.SIGNED is not sending any of the additional oauth parameters, and the viewer and owner ID are still sent in the headers instead of the query string.

That code chunk above is slightly wrong --

params[gadgets.io.METHOD] = gadgets.io.MethodType.GET;
params[gadgets.io.CONTENT_TYPE] = gadgets.io.ContentType.HTML;
params[gadgets.io.AUTHORIZATION] = gadgets.io.AuthorizationType.SIGNED;

Should read:

params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.METHOD] = gadgets.io.MethodType.GET;
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.CONTENT_TYPE] = gadgets.io.ContentType.TEXT; //There is no HTML?!?
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.AUTHORIZATION] = gadgets.io.AuthorizationType.SIGNED;

The other ContentTypes are DOM (for XML) and the feeds, but I don't know if those are implemented yet. TEXT is for HTML, if you didn't get that. At least, that's what the specs say, but then the specs also say that it defaults to ContentType.HTML, so I'm just confused.

*ETA:: Seems it handles ContentType.HTML just fine, so, you might want to leave that line *

As far as the return, yeah, it's wrapped in an object. I haven't fully gotten into it, just far enough to get a successful XML return and parse it, but as phil noted '.text' is the HTML as a string, and '.data' is the actual response data (this is what I'm using to parse the XML return). And, no, it's not a bug, it's how it is in the 0.7 specs.

Anyway, you'll have to add the 'RequestParameters' bit or SIGNED will be ignored completely.

Jeremy,

I did the update and still get the [object][object] message... Here is the code what I'm using, let me know if you see anything wrong. In the meantime the old way (opensocial.ContentRequestParameters/pensocial.Container.get().makeRequest()) still works like before.

<div id="target" style="padding:10px;">waiting....</div>
<script type="text/javascript">

function init(gourl) {
var target = document.getElementById('target');
var params = {};
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.METHOD] = gadgets.io.MethodType.GET;
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.CONTENT_TYPE] = gadgets.io.ContentType.TEXT; //There is no HTML?!?
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.AUTHORIZATION] = gadgets.io.AuthorizationType.SIGNED;

try{ gadgets.io.makeRequest( gourl, function(content) { target.innerHTML = content; }, params);
}
catch(er){ target.style.backgroundColor = '#f00'; target.style.color = '#fff'; target.innerHTML = er.message; }
}

init("http://www.google.com");

</script>

Oh, sorry, I didn't finish checking your code. Someone else had a similar thing happen, and I put the answer there, and forgot to here.

The content returned by 0.7 makeRequest is different than the 0.6 version -- it's enclosed in an object of objects, hence that's what you see when you just try "target.innerHTML = content" -- that should read :

target.innerHTML = content.text;

or in other words, you want the text of the content transcribed into a string. There is also 'content.data' which is the raw data of the content returned, useful for XML and JSON (and I expect newsfeeds but I haven't tried those yet).

My apologies for leaving you with only half an answer.
