Failed to invoke Symbol Storage.deleteValue()

I'm am executing the following code

// Request access token and refresh token in exchange for authorisation code
    var codeVerifier = Storage.getValue("codeVerifier");
    // Only persisted to length of exchange
    Storage.deleteValue("codeVerifier");

The last action to delete the key from Storage is failing with

Error: System Error
Details: 'Failed invoking <symbol>'

Anyone come across this before. Is it trying to tell me I can't delete the Storage key because I have a local variable that somehow is locking it because the Storage.getValue() in the previous line?

Can it be a bad error message caused by this documented behaviour?

Thrown if called from a background process on device that does not have ConnectIQ 3.2.0 support

It has now worked on subsequent executions. No change to that bit of code. I’m wondering if it was a memory issue though the simulator suggests it shouldn’t be.

are you close to the memory limit?

Ultra over 2 years ago in reply to flocsy🤠

Nowhere near, about 11kB away (background process) and the value I’m trying to delete is about 1kB

Well I’ve moved the delete into a separate function and haven’t seen the error since. I think it may have been an error trying to delete a key from storage when a local variable has a strong reference to that storage key.

no way, that makes no sense

Are you sure you ever set "codeVerifier"? That might happen if that doesn't exist in Storage.

Ultra over 1 year ago in reply to flocsy🤠

Well it might, depending on what’s going on under the hood. Clearly something going on under the api hood else the error wouldn’t have happened.

That's an interesting idea. Did you see this happen? The documentation doesn't state that behaviour.

Ultra over 1 year ago in reply to flocsy🤠

I did indeed see it happen, this isn’t a thought experiment. As stated I’ve solved the issue in the app I’m developing. But in an idle moment I might investigate more of the exact conditions causing it.
