Re: [aerogear-dev] AeroGear Android & JS API remove operation
So the issue here is the backend service. If the DELETE request is sent and an
application/json response is expected, the backend must send valid JSON. An empty response
is not valid JSON so jQuery gets it right by throwing an error. This was a recent
addition/bug fix in jQuery to throw this error since that is the correct way to handle
invalid JSON. The backend service needs to send something like [].

Hi guys,
While writing some tests for the AeroGear JS API, I came across the following issue:
The Pipe.remove method of the AeroGear Android API does not require any data as a
response. The callback has Void data. This means that the corresponding operation on the
server/backend side returns an empty response.
However the AeroGear JS API relies on jQuery AJAX mechanism. When using the Pipe.remove
method, jQuery tries to parse the empty response as JSON and it fails. I had to hack
jQuery and add the following piece of code in order to use the same backend service for
both AeroGear APIs:
parseJSON: function( data ) {
if (!data) {
return null;
}
If you know any way to make the AeroGear JS Pipe.remove method to work when the server
side returns an empty response and without hacking the JQuery, please share it.
Thanks,
Tolis
