Branch: dev

Git Commit: 732463c

Python Version: 2.7.12 64-bit

Any other relevant files/configs (eg: path files)

Only happening with MoveToMapPokemon task. JSONlint says JSON is valid.

Reverted to commit fcccb0f and the error goes away and it finds pokemon on the list and working as it did previously.

ran with debug on and got this-

[2016-09-08 22:42:45] Failure! JSON format is not valid
[2016-09-08 22:42:45] No pokemons in list to snipe
[2016-09-08 22:42:47] Failure! JSON format is not valid
[2016-09-08 22:42:47] No pokemons in list to snipe
[2016-09-08 22:42:50] Failure! JSON format is not valid
[2016-09-08 22:42:50] No pokemons in list to snipe

pogom is running fine, not sure what's going on here.

Looks like there is an error of output from http://localhost:5010

[mitcht]

agreed

[farshidhss]

Same problem here! I think it has something to do with the new commit in Pokemon map and the format of JSON reply from their api. I might be wrong though. Could someone please check it. As it is now if you update both bot and the map then it would throw JSON format not valid!

[crvfts]

@mjmadsen after noting your comment i tried port 5000, same error. If I observe catchable-etc.json open in SublimeText I can see pokemon values changing in real-time and they are printed as valid JSON. The pokemon/lat/long are coordinates my scanners are scanning. If I simply copy catchable-etc.json to the folder I have commit fcccb0f installed and immediately run the bot it works as intended and goes after the exact pokemon recently written to catchable-. The next thing I tried was enabling social, upon doing so the error went away. To me it appears the error is somehow tied to map-chat. Again, commit fcccb0f does not give me this issue. If it works for fcccb0f, then how could there be an output error? I'm thinking that the debug message "No pokemons in list to snipe" is that the bot is looking for spawns coming from map-chat (possibly in another file?). So what is happening with current dev, for me, is that pogom is printing pokemon id's and spawn points to catchable-.json just fine but that the bot is not reading from catchable- correctly OR is reading from elsewhere. But with commit fcccb0f the bot is reading from catchable- as one would expect it to.

try to change:

"address": "http://localhost:5000" to "address": "http://localhost:5000/raw_data",

[crvfts]

@sohje 's solution works!

Should I start using /raw_data from now on if I want to only pursue pokes from my scanners?

[sohje]

Yeap

[sohje]

New code doesnt concat address + map_path => localhost:5000/raw_data.
You should add url to the address option.

[crvfts]

ok cool, thanks again.

[farshidhss]

Then a dev needs to update the config.json.map.example to match this change.

[Tych0n]

@sohje i had the same issue and for addition to #5313 (comment) i had to set "map_path" to blank "".

P.S. Further investigation showed, that "map_path" option isn't essential if you set "enable_social" to false and turn off sniping. Check here #5094

[YvesHenri]

Just to clarify some things, "map_path" is deprecated at all but wasnt removed from the docs yet. Sorry about that.
