string and double not working

[ronytigo]

double test = 3.33;
point.addField("value", test);

and

point.addField("value", "test");

don't work.

int32_t test = 10;
point.addField("value", test);

Does work and I see the data in the db.

(As mentioned in the other ticket) Please verify the unit tests work on your system (eg. make unittest). There are tests for all supported types.

Do you have a minimal example to reproduce the issue? And what kind of error do you get?

[ronytigo]

I tried make unitttest (sure it's with 3 't'?) in the root folder and in the test folder. I get:
make: *** No rule to make target 'unittest'. Stop.

[ronytigo]

double test = 3.33;
point.addField("value", test);
influx_client->write(std::move(point));

influx-cxx [treatCurlResponse]: Bad request: 422

I print the lines in the batch before sending them:

meas value=3.333000000000000185 1674934678110483221
meas value=3.333000000000000185 1674934678120823930

You are right, it's unittest (with 2x 't') :-)

It's necessary to run it within your build directory as it's a make target. Note: Tests need to be enabled (aka. not disabled).

One more thing you should try: Write to new an completely fresh database.

[ronytigo]

yeah I also tried unittest and also from my build folder, but I don't know how to not disable the tests. I just cloned the project and added this to my CMakeLists.txt file:

add_subdirectory(deps/influxdb-cxx)
target_link_libraries(rony_test PRIVATE InfluxData::InfluxDB)
set(INFLUXCXX_WITH_BOOST OFF)

[offa]

I see, tests are disabled if included as subdirectory. So it might be easier to test a minimal example with a fresh database first.

[ronytigo]

writing to a new bucket worked for double and didn't work for string. then another new bucket worked for string.
why is that? and how can it be fixed?

[offa]

Are you mixing types within the same field?

[ronytigo]

ah, yes, I use the same measurement for the different types. I'll try different ones!

[ronytigo]

seems to work, thanks!
