Data table warning - Invalid Json response

istudent_learning

I have a dropdown with 4 different item types including one to call all item types. When i call for each item type, I do not get any error alert and gets my table but when i do all item types i get that invalid JSON alert warning. There are 1078 rows and receiving when i check in debugger tools. Is there a way to bind this objects(data) I am getting to any variable so that i could check them. If so then how?

Did you follow the troubleshooting steps in the link provided in the error?
https://datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/1

The error indicates there is a problem with the format of the json response. Without seeing the response its hard to say what the problem is.

I am going to do now.
But what i did not understand is if there were any error in json object while I was trying to get all item types, wouldn't it be the case when I am trying to get each item type, at least one item type list of data which are not properly formatted to JSON should have caused the issue?

Once I get that alert message, In network tab in debugger tool, that request to get data disappear.

Is there other way to write data tables ajax call, like on success and on error way. How do i set break point once data is received and before tables gets populated?

Hi @istudent_learning ,

We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

Cheers,

Colin
