❔ Error parsing infinity for json, Happens randomly.

Error: I keep getting the error parsing infinity while selecting a random string from my json array, It does this at random and I have no idea why. I have a temporary fix at line 49 but it is making the scene restart multiple times and is just not pleasant one bit Snippet:

    void Start()
    {
        _openAI = new OpenAIApi(openAIKey);

        _client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", $"Basic {Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes($"{uberDuckKey}:{uberDuckSecret}"))}");

        // Pick a random topic
        List<string> topics = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<string>>(
            File.ReadAllText($"{Application.dataPath}/Scripts/topics.json"));

        blacklistPath = $"{Application.dataPath}/Scripts/blacklist.json";
        blacklist = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<string>>(File.ReadAllText(blacklistPath));
        topics.RemoveAll(t => blacklist.Contains(t));

        string topic = topics[_random.Next(0, topics.Count)];

    void Start()
    {
        _openAI = new OpenAIApi(openAIKey);

        _client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", $"Basic {Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes($"{uberDuckKey}:{uberDuckSecret}"))}");

        // Pick a random topic
        List<string> topics = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<string>>(
            File.ReadAllText($"{Application.dataPath}/Scripts/topics.json"));

        blacklistPath = $"{Application.dataPath}/Scripts/blacklist.json";
        blacklist = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<string>>(File.ReadAllText(blacklistPath));
        topics.RemoveAll(t => blacklist.Contains(t));

        string topic = topics[_random.Next(0, topics.Count)];

Error parsing Infinity value. Path '', line 1, position 2 Thats what i get

Tinefol•17mo ago

can you provide a sample of json you're parsing Uhm, what bugs me: is there any benefit reading the json dynamically at all?

PorkOP•17mo ago

["cartman dies", "the boys bring communism to Canada", "cartman gets caught eating glass"] not really, I just have a python backend which listens for topics from my streams chats and write it to that json

Tinefol•17mo ago

how often does that happen?

PorkOP•17mo ago

usually after 6 parses but it can happen after 2 (its basically random)

Tinefol•17mo ago

So, could it be, that the read happens while your python scripts performs a write to a file, and thus json is in a corrupted state and can't be deserialized?

PorkOP•17mo ago

nope happens even when the backend isnt running

Tinefol•17mo ago

Okay, I'm not guessing what it is, but I'd probably put a try catch block here, with a logger call on catch, dumping the contents of File.ReadAllText to log I doubt there's a problem with deserializer, more likely there's some problem with file handling

PorkOP•17mo ago

alright i will give it a go, will update you

Tinefol•17mo ago

so something like var x = read; try { deserialize } catch { log(exception); log(x); }

Was this issue resolved? If so, run /close - otherwise I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.
