Error in displaying a Body parameter in Scripted REST API

[rcruzsnow]

Hello,

So I'm testing out my new Scripted REST API Code which should pretty much return the body parameters. The parameter that I'm passing has a name of short_description and it's is Short Description Sample.

(function process(/*RESTAPIRequest*/ request, /*RESTAPIResponse*/ response) {
       // implement resource here
   var sampleBody = request.body; 
   var sampleEntry = sampleBody.nextEntry();
   var desc = sampleEntry.short_description;
   return {
   "short-description" : desc
   };
})(request, response);

Unfortunately, after running the message, an error output came out

{
   "error": {
       "detail": "",
       "message": "com.glide.rest.domain.ServiceException: Exception while reading request"
   },
   "status": "failure"
}

I tried looking for a fix and checked the best practice in making my function work but it seems that I'm already following it based on this ServiceNow documentation for Scripted REST API:

RESTAPIRequestBody - nextEntry()

Is there any other fix that you guys can recommend that I use to return the parameter? If so, what is it and thanks for your help in advance!

Hello,

I´m facing the same problem.
The media type is application/json. Need I change another parameter?

I had a similar message, i had application/json and i had raw but my issue was that i had a rogue apostrophe which meant i didn't have valid JSON. If you've double checked you're JSON and it looks correct, maybe copy and paste it into a JSON checker.

Hope this helps!
