PATCH with Firebase over HTTP Request does not work but with Postman is OK?!?!?

[Milan]

I am trying to make record update with PATCH with HTTP request. Even everything works with Postman, the same parameters over HTTP Request are getting an Error!
Here are screenshots form HTTP request and Postman - please help - it looks like some small hint that I am not aware of.

Error message:
400

{“error”:{“code”:400,“message”:“Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name “”: Root element must be a message.”,“status”:“INVALID_ARGUMENT”,“details”:[{"@type":“type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.BadRequest",“fieldViolations”:[{“description”:"Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name “”: Root element must be a message.”}]}]}}

If it works in postman and doesn’t in AppGyver, than the only thing I can think of, is that there is a little typing difference.

To check for it: please post a copy of the entire URL and Request body that you are using in AppGyver. (of course you can black-out some personal elements…).

Hey stayfoolish,
I mostly appreciate your help - but I do not see any difference, only spacing formatting of JSON body. But maybe four eyes see more than two:

AppGyver:
URL: https://firestore.googleapis.com/v1/projects/xxxxxxx/databases/(default)/documents/members/Cb3dSZILoDL0KljQ3DHp?updateMask.fieldPaths=weeklyIntention
Body:
{“fields”:{“weeklyIntention”:{“stringValue”:“bla new value”}}}

Postman:
https://firestore.googleapis.com/v1/projects/xxxxxxx/databases/(default)/documents/members/Cb3dSZILoDL0KljQ3DHp?updateMask.fieldPaths=weeklyIntention
Body:
{
“fields” : {
“weeklyIntention” : {
“stringValue” : “super new test value”
}
}
}

Hi Milan,
ok, I can’t see a typing difference as well.
Very hard to say what the root cause might be

Something to try:

• can you please check if in AppGyver the PATCH works without the “mask” part
• when using http-request for POST

After a few days vacation from frustration on this case I just tried the “Update Record” from data logic functions. And it works!!! No troubles with PATCH or creating a new record and deleting the old one!

Hi has anyone found a solution to this without using UpdateRecord? (i.e using HTTP Request)

Its driving me insane!

Thanks
