integers not recognized as such about node-xmlrpc HOT 8 CLOSED

Hm, that's odd. It works for me using the given value:

require('xmlrpc/lib/serializer').serializeMethodCall('foo', [1223540139])

Result:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
  <methodName>foo</methodName>
  <params><param><value>
    <int>1223540139</int>
  </value></param></params>
</methodCall>

(line breaks added for readability)

So, I guess it is system or environment dependent. Could you double check that the above example results in a double on your system?

Excuse my ignorance, but how do I check that?

from node-xmlrpc.

To try out values:

1. cd into your project's node_modules directory (assuming you have npm install xmlrpc)
2. run node from the command line
3. input require('xmlrpc/lib/serializer').serializeMethodCall('foo', [1223540139]) in the REPL.

serializer.js's appendNumber() checks if the number is an integer or a double.

As 1223540139 works for me too, can you list which values are returning as double instead of int using the above steps? The other option is adding a test case to serializer_test.js's methodCall().

Thanks.

I think my problem is that I'm using a different xmlrpc library. This is odd, because most of the time, things work. I'm not seeing a xmlrpc/lib/serializer. However, I did find your github page through the repository field in the package.json, so I don't know what went wrong here.

Scratch what I just wrote, there is a serializer in the lib directory. Let me run your tests and report back what happens...

from node-xmlrpc.

Hmm, the output looks fine:

'<?xml version="1.0"?><methodCall><methodName>foo</methodName><params><param><value><int>1223540139</int></value></param></params></methodCall>'

So I tried running my call again, and got:

id: 2 number
fromVertexID: 1 number
toVertexID: 4 number
ubigraph.new_edge_w_id error: Error: XML-RPC fault: Value of type DOUBLE supplied where type INT was expected.

This time, the function was:

Ubigraph.prototype.newEdgeWithID = function(id, fromVertexID, toVertexID, attributes, callback){
    var self = this;

    console.log('id: ' + id + ' ' + typeof id);
    console.log('fromVertexID: ' + fromVertexID + ' ' + typeof fromVertexID);
    console.log('toVertexID: ' + toVertexID + ' ' + typeof toVertexID);

    this.client.methodCall('ubigraph.new_edge_w_id', [parseInt(id), parseInt(fromVertexID), parseInt(toVertexID)], function(error, value){
        if(error)
            console.log('ubigraph.new_edge_w_id error: ' + error);
        _processEdgeAttributes(self.client, parseInt(id), attributes);
        if(callback)
            callback(error, id);
    });
};

from node-xmlrpc.

That's odd: The output of this function:

    var self = this;

console.log('id: ' + id + ' ' + typeof id + ' ' + id % 1 == 0);
console.log('fromVertexID: ' + fromVertexID + ' ' + typeof fromVertexID + ' ' + fromVertexID % 1 == 0);
console.log('toVertexID: ' + toVertexID + ' ' + typeof toVertexID + toVertexID % 1 == 0);

this.client.methodCall('ubigraph.new_edge_w_id', [parseInt(id), parseInt(fromVertexID), parseInt(toVertexID)], function(error, value){
if(error)
console.log('ubigraph.new_edge_w_id error: ' + error);
_processEdgeAttributes(self.client, parseInt(id), attributes);
if(callback)
callback(error, id);
});

};```

is: 

id: 2 number true
fromVertexID: 1 number true
toVertexID: 2 number true

ubigraph.new_edge_w_id error: Error: XML-RPC fault: Value of type DOUBLE supplied where type INT was expected.

Hi @lowerkey - Was this resolved on your end or is this an issue any longer?
