Bug Parade

Think I found my first bug. I was testing the character API (http://help.obsidianportal.com/kb/api/api-characters) optional 'use_slug' to fetch a character.

Here's what I submitted:

http://api.obsidianportal.com/v1/campaigns/af7946b642a111e0bbb240403656340d/characters/poppy.json

(where 'af7946b642a111e0bbb240403656340d' is the campaign id of my oppy test campaign, found here: http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/oppy).

What comes back -is- a character named poppy, but from a different campaign! (in this case, campaign bb9a5528f24411dfba8140403656340d, which appears to be the OverlordRising campaign). Here's the full response back:

{"slug":"poppy","dynamic_sheet":null,"dynamic_sheet_template":null,"character_url":"http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/overlord-rising/characters/poppy","is_game_master_only":false,"avatar_url":"http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/images/302888/poppy1.png","tags":[],"is_player_character":false,"updated_at":"2011-01-18T07:13:27Z","description":"","campaign":{"slug":"overlord-rising","banner_image_url":"http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/29495/OverlordRisingBanner.jpg","campaign_url":"http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/overlord-rising","visibility":"public","name":"Overlord Rising","id":"bb9a5528f24411dfba8140403656340d"},"description_html":"","created_at":"2010-11-23T16:33:26Z","game_master_info":null,"author":{"profile_url":"http://www.obsidianportal.com/profile/voltara","avatar_image_url":"http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/images/306196/voltara.png","id":"e9c22d28f71b11dfb06740403656340d","username":"voltara"},"name":"Poppy","game_master_info_html":null,"bio":"Poppy learns the alphabet."}

Short story, looks like a bug in the lookup by campaign/by slug.

EDIT: the bug can be reproduced by running the test_show_by_slug unit test in https://github.com/lhayhurst/oppy/blob/master/CharacterAPI.py

    Thanks, I'll take a look. I think I can guess what it is, and it should be a simple fix.

    Cool, thank you. BTW, does anyone else (mage-hand? sorry, I haven't installed your API yet ... my ruby is t3h sux0r) have a working version of the wiki GET api (http://help.obsidianportal.com/kb/api/api-wiki-pages)? I feel like I'm doing the right thing and I'm getting 404's back from OP.

    My GET url: http://api.obsidianportal.com/v1/af7946b642a111e0bbb240403656340d/wikis.json
    My parameter: {'campaign_id' : af7946b642a111e0bbb240403656340d }

    I'm certain that 'af7946b642a111e0bbb240403656340d' is a valid campaign id as I'm using it to get a campaign using the campaignAPI. And I'm using the same oauth connection code as all the rest of my working (user, character, campaign) API implementations. The wikiAPI impl is here: https://github.com/lhayhurst/oppy/blob/master/WikiAPI.py

    Your URL should be this

    http://api.obsidianportal.com/v1/campaigns/af7946b642a111e0bbb240403656340d/wikis.json

    Without the campaigns OP doesn't know if you are looking for a campagin, user or something else.

    Found what appears to be another bug. This one is in the wiki API, show by wiki page slug. To reproduce it pass the following in:

    http://api.obsidianportal.com/v1/campaigns/af7946b642a111e0bbb240403656340d/wikis/home-page.json

    The return value is the home page of the wrong campaign. It returns a home page for the campaign http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/kensing (the Kensing campaign), with campaign id '5b6ef1e0f24411dfba8140403656340d'.

    this bug can be reproduced by running the tests in https://github.com/lhayhurst/oppy/blob/master/WikiAPI.py
