“Unable to run test .. Unexpected character ('"' ” on Business Rules service on Bluemix

When testing my rules on the Business Rules service on Bluemix, I get the following error:

"Unable to run test

Error when extracting the ruleset parameter value from the request. Unexpected character ('"' (code 34)): was expecting comma to separate OBJECT entries at [Source: com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.srt.SRTInputStream@b79d0b4f; line: 4, column: 10]"

Solution

  • I had misconstructed the input parameter (it was missing a comma ',' between the 2 entries "name" and "id"):

    {
    "foo": {
        "name": "foo"
        "id": "bar"
    }
}

    Once I added the comma delimiter I could run the test successfully:

    {
    "foo": {
        "name": "foo",
        "id": "bar"
    }
}
