  • 1.  Map to JSON

    Posted 05/17/23 05:35 PM

    Hi
    I tried to get data from a json in order to polulate an Excel file, so I'm using Map to JSON comand, like the image below


    When I run the bot an error shows.
    5/17/2023 4:33:51 PM - Error executing command at line 21: mapJson --json "${DataJson}" --mappings "{\"employee_name\":\"${Nombre}\",\"employee_salary\":\"${Salario}\",\"employee_age\":\"${Edad}\"}"
        Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: s. Path '', line 0, position 0.

    Thnaks for your help

    Dear Alex,

    I think the error is caused by unexpected characters in the Json, likely to be the brackets {} . 

    You may cross check the formatting of the Json file and how to fill in mappings from the documentation here https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/rpa/21.0?topic=web-map-json

    There are some examples that you can copy over to RPA studio to test.

    Hi Alex, in mapJson in the left fields you must use the structure to find the attribute and not just its name.

    I am sending you an example code. 

    defVar --name phonenumberType --type String
defVar --name employee_name --type String
defVar --name age --type Numeric
mapJson --json "{\n    \"employee_name\": \"John\",\n    \"employee_salary\": \"doe\",\n    \"person\": {\n        \"age\": 30\n    }\n}" --mappings "{\"$.employee_name\":\"${employee_name}\",\"$..age\":\"${age}\"}"
logMessage --message "Name: ${employee_name}\r\nAge: ${age}" --type "Info"
