CloudCode POST Returns error " { code: 141, message: 500 }"

[pjainusr]

• Issue Description

I am using Parse hosting services now since parse.com is going to retire. Following cloudcode function when requested makes call to third party api for creating a record and returns json response with success or error

===== cloud code ======
Parse.Cloud.define("createCode", function(request, response) {

var baseEVUrl = "https://external.baseline.url.com";

var params = JSON.stringify({
  "createCodeRequest": {
        "User"         : "username",
        "Password"     : "password"
    }
  });

Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({
  url: baseEVUrl+"/getCode",
  method: 'POST',
  header:{
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body:params,
  success: function (httpResponse) {
      response.success(httpResponse.text);
  },
  error: function (httpResponse) {
      response.error(httpResponse.status);
    }
});

});

===== cloud code ends ======

I see error on cloud code request

========= Error =========

Same code runs fine under cloudcode on Parse.com but not on n chef hosted parse ( .18 version latest )

any thought, what could be going wrong?

Hey can you try setting gzip: true on the request. Some misbehaving HTTP servers return gzipped compressed content although there is no accept-encoding header.

[pjainusr]

Thanks @mutex007 for suggestion. Tried, but no luck.
Same code works on parse.com but not on open source parse hosted by node chef.

If i remove stringify, it seems to think its successful but httpResponse.text shows the error.

[flovilmart]

Try to run it locally with VERBOSE=1 in order to identify the error.

[pjainusr]

@flovilmart i have got local setup of mongodb, parse server and dashboard but can't figure out how to get CLI binary and/or point parse cli to local server. looking in, if u have pointer, let me know.

[mutex007]

You can enable verbose logging on NodeChef from App actions > Server settings > verbose logging

[pjainusr]

Got local setup working but same error. With verbose no additional info locally or on node chef server.

[flovilmart]

Is the content of the httpResponse.text a proper string?

[pjainusr]

Yes, json response is alright. Same code works on parse.com cloudcode and also under postman

[flovilmart]

but is it a string or a JSON object... Parse.Cloud.httpRequest on parse-server is not the same implementation as the one on parse.com

[pjainusr]

@flovilmart , its JSON object in response.

[pjainusr]

It turns out to be typo with "header" , it should have been headers ( s at the end )

when i call cloud function from Xcode the above error occurs on heroku log, could any one help me out

[flovilmart]

Seems to be an error with your code inside the function.

[wellkeptbeauty]

here is my cloud code ,please help me out

Parse.Cloud.define('people', function(request, status)
{
console.log('Parse.serverURL: ' + Parse.serverURL);

var query=new Parse.Query("classname");

query.find().then(function (res)
{
console.log("after query is "+res);

for(var i=0;i<res.length;i++)
{
var id=res[i].get('filedname');
console.log("inner query is "+res[i].get('filedname'));

}

status.success("final result " + res);

}, function (error) {
  status.error(error);
    
});

});
