1.2.1 has broken my code - UnexpectedTypeException: Expected null/Number, given null

1.2.1. has broken my code :-(

Comm.makeJsonRequest("api.openweathermap.org/.../weather",
{"lat"=>lat, "lon"=>lon, "APPID"=>"33b43a459f4002b3693aaec3420776ac"}, {}, method(nReceive));

that used to work, now I get

UnexpectedTypeException: Expected null/Number, given null
onKey in /Users/Documents/OneDrive/dev/connectiq/BigWeather/source/BigWeatherView.mc:32
makeJsonRequest in /Users/rayburn/1_2_1/mbsimulator/submodules/technology/monkeybrains/virtual-machine/api/Communications.mb:144
onShow in /Users/Documents/OneDrive/dev/connectiq/BigWeather/source/BigWeatherView.mc:421

The lat and lon was getting from app properties but even hard coding them to 0.1 and 0.1 gets the same error.

Any ideas?

makeJsonRequest() breaks in the simulator, but runs on a real device. I tested by sideloading something to my watch.

is Garmin aware?

Has this been reported and acknowledged?

Is there a workaround?

When is the fix coming?

This doesn't exactly fill me with confidence!!!!

Yes, they are aware. Yes, it has been reported. Yes, there is a workaround; use the 1.2.0 SDK. Yes, they expect to fix it soon.

I was able to get this to work by passing in null instead of {} as the options like this:

Comm.makeJsonRequest("api.openweathermap.org/.../weather", {"lat"=>lat, "lon"=>lon, "APPID"=>"33b43a459f4002b3693aaec3420776ac"}, null, method(:onReceive));

It looks like when the options are present it requires a method hash or it errors out. I was trying to send a header in a widget I was creating and got the error you were until I added the :method hash to the options:

var options = {
    :method => Comm.HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_GET,
    :headers => { "Authorization" => api_token }
};

So either way seems to work. Either pass null or add the :method hash to the options dictionary.

Any news of a fix Garmin.

Or is using a null the correct way?

Rupert - see this post in the other thread where you asked about makeJsonRequest() with 1.2.1. It works!

from Garmin:

For now you can fix it in the simulator by using these options to makeJsonRequest:

{:method=>Comm.HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_GET, :headers=>{}}
These are the defaults for the two given options, but they're not getting set correctly in the simulator. It'll be fixed in an upcoming release.
