DataGrab Unable to JSON encode payload. Error code: 5
Development and Programming
I’ve got a really weird Datagrab issue. I’m getting the error Unable to JSON encode payload. Error code: 5 when trying to import a JSON file 〈php 8.3.8, EE 7.5.11, Datagrab 6.0.5〉. I’ve tried every trick in the book to try and ensure that the file is UTF-8 encoded, and I’ve looked and looked for weird characters (and cannot find any). The file imports fine when using my local version of the site. Does anyone else have any tricks for me to try on this one?
Upgrade to the latest version, it has some new tooling to help try to identify what the issue is.
- Added Preflight checks to scan json, xml, and csv files for possible encoding or formatting issues that a validator might not see
Thanks @litzinger … that’s great. I’ll do an update and check. Just knowing the line number of where the issue is happening will be useful (some of these csv files can get very long!).
