wierd error when testing Scripted REST API

[User687957]

Dear all,

I have a service now dev instance where I try to test scripted Rest API feature.

The idea is to create an Incident from that REST endpoint

I have a weird error as soon as I enter some scripting in the REST API, even a simple script

The error is as below:

{"error":{"message":"Unexpected token: o","detail":"SyntaxError: Unexpected token: o (sys_script_include.d2426c9ec0a8016501958bf2ac79c775.script; line 155)"},"status":"failure"

This error occurs as long I place a single line of script as below :

var requestBody = request.body.data;
var parsedBody = JSON.parse(requestBody);

if sounds like the script cannot be interpreted at all

Any idea what could it be?

regards

@User687957 It looks like 

request.body.data;

Doesn't return a valid string which can be converted to an object using 

JSON.parse

Please check if data property contains valid information.

sorry I an newbie in this scripting,

what do you mean by JSON.Parse end check if data contains valid info

For better understanding here is the script I need to use as a sample

(function process(/*RESTAPIRequest*/ request, /*RESTAPIResponse*/ response) {

var requestBody = request.body.data;
var parsedBody = JSON.parse(requestBody);

// Create a new incident record
var incident = new GlideRecord('incident');
incident.initialize();
incident.short_description = "test 1";
incident.description = "test 2";
incident.insert();


})(request, response);

thanks for help

Hi @User687957 

I have used try catch once can you check the below code and tell me the output.

var requestBody = request.body.data; gs.info('Received data: ' + requestBody); var parsedBody; try { parsedBody = JSON.parse(requestBody); gs.info('Parsed Body: ' + JSON.stringify(parsedBody)); } catch (e) { gs.error('Error parsing JSON: ' + e.message); response.setStatus(400); response.setBody({ "status": "failure", "error": { "message": "Invalid JSON", "detail": e.message } }); return; }

Hello,

it returns the following error event if I pass a correct body.

I am testing the body using REST API Explorer and POSTMAN 

{
  "result": {
    "status": "failure",
    "error": {
      "message": "Invalid JSON",
      "detail": "Unexpected token: o"
    }
  }
}

 regards
