Description Sidharth Kodikal

2010-08-31 12:41:44 EDT

Build Identifier: 

The protocol documented for the getEnvironment command in the Processes service requires that the environment be a JSON object

C • <token> • Processes • getEnvironment •
R • <token> • <error report> • <object: environment variables> •

As of version 1134 of trunk for the agent sources, the environment returned is instead a JSON array.

It looks like either the documentation or the implementation (agent and java proxy) need to be corrected.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I ran into this when writing a python client that speaks to the TCF C agent running on Linux. My client was expecting a JSON object per the documentation and failed the getEnvironment command because it did not get the expected reply.

Fixed. I have changed the docs to match implementation.
Thanks!

Thanks. I have updated my client to use the changed protocol. As expected, it works for me now.
