Deserialise error an Actor Reminder when using GetReminderAsync()

[olitomlinson]

Expected Behavior

Calling .GetReminderAsync(String reminderName) shouldn't throw the following exception :

2025-02-21 19:33:53 Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.    at Dapr.Actors.Runtime.ConverterUtils.ConvertTimeSpanValueFromISO8601Format(String valueString)
2025-02-21 19:33:53    at Dapr.Actors.Runtime.ReminderInfo.DeserializeAsync(Stream stream)
2025-02-21 19:33:53    at Dapr.Actors.Runtime.DefaultActorTimerManager.DeserializeReminderAsync(Stream stream, ActorReminderToken token)
2025-02-21 19:33:53    at Dapr.Actors.Runtime.DefaultActorTimerManager.GetReminderAsync(ActorReminderToken token)
2025-02-21 19:33:53    at Dapr.Actors.Runtime.Actor.GetReminderAsync(String reminderName)

Actual Behavior

Should deserialize the Reminder correctly.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

• Create a Reminder on an Actor (await this.RegisterReminderAsync("Report", null, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(15), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(15));)
• Call GetReminderAsync("Report")

Release Note

RELEASE NOTE:

[WhitWaldo]

This appears to have been an issue since at least 1.12 if not earlier in that the deserializer only supports ISO8601 values and not any of the other valid value formats (per the documentation).

I tried to repro with the 1.14.4 version but don't see this exception. I just ran the SDK examples DemoActor and ActorClient

[olitomlinson]

@siri-varma try with the latest 1.15 runtime RC

Thank you for helping olitomlinson.

Something changed with payload we receive from run time I think

This is from the 1.15-rc version:
{"period":"@every 5s","data":"","actorID":"abc","actorType":"DemoActor","dueTime":"0h0m5s0ms"}

This is from the 1.14.4
APP == {"period":"0h0m5s0ms","data":"","dueTime":"0h0m5s0ms"}

should we raise an issue with the dapr runtime? or is this expected ?

[WhitWaldo]

Per @olitomlinson comment here intended for this issue:

Can no longer repro on rc6 w/ runtime 1.15 rc18

[olitomlinson]

Still a problem on the latest sdk and runtime
