Eos: Invalid cast from object type

[l0rb]

On a freshly installed nodeos with the net_api_plugin trying to call v1/net/status results in this error:

{
    "code": 500,
    "message": "Internal Service Error",
    "error": {
        "code": 7,
        "name": "bad_cast_exception",
        "what": "Bad Cast",
        "details": []
    }
}

the node logs the following during that:

3160299ms thread-0   http_plugin.cpp:405           handle_exception     ] FC Exception encountered while processing net.status
3160299ms thread-0   http_plugin.cpp:406           handle_exception     ] Exception Details: 7 bad_cast_exception: Bad Cast
Invalid cast from object_type to string
    {"type":"object_type"}

Can you show the full command for "v1/net/status". BTW is your nodeos work well?

[l0rb]

curl -X GET http://localhost:3777/v1/net/status this is the full command.

yes, the nodeos seems to run fine, it gives me a proper response on v1/chain/get_info

This issue is occurring in my freshly built 1.4.1 copy of EOS as well.

[spoonincode]

/v1/net/status gets the status for a particular peer, so you need to POST a json string of the peer you want the status of (via curl you might do this through --data-binary)

If you want the status of all connections you should use /v1/net/connections

Closing this as it appears to operating as designed

This could be improved dramatically by having a proper error message; "Internal server error" because an expected parameter (the peer) is missing is not friendly nor proper response for an api.
