Hey everyone! I am contributing to theta360developers/theta-javascript. I’ve found a limitation that people should be aware of when using the Fake Theta API.
Currently, it seems to me that any wrong inputs do not display errors, or I am not getting any console errors from the Fake Theta API. This makes it a little more difficult to test if I am using the API correctly.
While working on Video Stitching I wanted to test if I was using setOptions correctly and I’ve found that the response is showing that the command executed correctly even though I inserted an incorrect value.
Example Code
const body = {'name': 'camera.setOptions',
"parameters": {
"options": {
"WrongInput4321": "AnotherWrongValue"
}
}
}
const response = await fetch('https://fake-theta.vercel.app/osc/commands/execute',
{method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(body),
headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
Response
{ name: 'camera.setOptions', state: 'done' }
I’m going to keep on creating more examples and gather more information about the API so I’ll update this post if I learn any new information.
Update #1
It seems like the Fake Theta API can not switch it’s capture mode to video, so any commands that are only enabled in video mode can’t be tested thoroughly.
