I am running WebGUI 7.4.31 on three different systems.  However, on my notebook I am having the following problem:

=======================================================

Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Config/JSON.pm line 135.
[Mon Apr 07 22:14:07 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] malformed JSON string, neither array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 ["(end of string)"] at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Config/JSON.pm line 135.\n
=======================================================

I wrote this script to test the configuration files:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

use JSON;

die "Invalid number of arguments, you must pass config file\n" unless @ARGV;

[ -f $ARGV[0] ] || die "Can't open $ARGV[0]\n";

if (open(FILE, "<", $ARGV[0])) {
   local $/ = undef;
   my $json = <FILE>;
   close(FILE);
   my $conf = JSON->new->relaxed(1)->decode($json);
   die "Couldn't parse JSON in config file '$ARGV[0]'\n" unless ref $conf;

#   my $jsonPerl = from_json($conf);

   print qq|
      $jsonPerl
      Succesfully parsed configuration file: $ARGV[0]\n
   |;

} else {
   die "Cannot read config file: $ARGV[0]";
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I uncomment the from_json sub above it fails with the same error found in the apache error log.

It seems some of my perl modules are borken.   However I have updated JSON.pm and have also used the solution in this thread:

http://www.webgui.org/install/upgrade_help/problem-installing-wre-0_8_1-rhel-5-ia32_tar_gz

Still have the same problem.

Anyone else seen this problem?

You have a typo/syntax error in one of your config files.  The most popular errors are trailing commas in the last entry of a list, or from rearranging a list so that internal nodes no longer have commas.

Yes, that is what I was thinking.  However, how do we validate a JSON structure in Perl/JavaScript/etc...?

When I run it without the from_json option the below script runs without a problem.

I have to look at the JSON module to figure out if the decode method does validation.  If it does then this call would fail as well: JSON->new->relaxed(1)->decode($json);

Thank you for your reply.

JSON.pm doesn't have very good diagnostics.  You could try the newly released Test::JSON to write a new script to check those out.  It may have better diagnostics for telling you what's wrong.

Such a utility would be very helpful to lots of people.

OK, I refactored my test script as follows:

#======================================
use JSON;
use Test::JSON tests => 1;

die "Invalid number of arguments, you must pass config file\n" unless @ARGV;

[ -f $ARGV[0] ] || die "Can't open $ARGV[0]\n";

if (open(FILE, "<", $ARGV[0])) {
   local $/ = undef;
   my $json = <FILE>;
   close(FILE);

   is_valid_json $json, "json in config file $ARGV[0]!";

} else {
   die "Cannot read config file: $ARGV[0]";
}
#======================================

I ran the script againsts my WebGUI.conf file and I got the following result:

1..1
ok 1 - json in config file WebGUI.conf!

So it is good json as far as Test::JSON is concerned.  However when I run my WebGUI site I still get:

Use of uniitialized value in subroutine entry at /user.../JSON.pm line 135.
malformed JSON string, neither array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 ["(end of string)"] at /usr...JSON.pm line 135.\n

I actually dropped the entire WebGUI database, recreated it with the "create.sql" script.  Used a default configuration file that came with webgui (just changed db info) and still got same error.

Another issue that happened while using Test::JSON is that it does not seem to like comments in the JSON structure.  As soon as I stripped all the #...  comments it passed the test.

Thank you for your help.

spectre.conf is also in JSON format.

If you like, please mask out usernames and passwords from your spectre.conf and webgui.conf files and post them here.  I'll take a look through them.

Hi Colin,
    I went through those files twice.  However there is always the possiblity that I missed something.  That is why I wrote the testing script.  I am at work so I cannot send the files.  However, I will send them tonight when I get home.

Thank you for your support.

I'm running out of ideas.

It thinks that the config file is empty.
