Error starting browerstack local #37
Description
Expected Behavior
Given that I have a correct access key
When I start browerstack local
Then the browserstack local object should start successfully
Actual Behavior
At l.start(options) (line 33 in BrowserStackLocalTest.java) an error is thrown:
org.json.JSONException: JSONObject["message"] is not a JSONObject.
`at org.json.JSONObject.getJSONObject(JSONObject.java:640)`
`at com.browserstack.local.Local.start(Local.java:80)`
`at com.browserstack.local.BrowserStackLocalTest.testMultipleBinary(BrowserStackLocalTest.java:33)`
`...`
This behaviour is repeated across the project and also in different projects in which the library is used.
Steps to Reproduce the Problem
- Download the repository and extract
- Open command prompt or git bash in the extracted folder
- run
mvn testor run from within the IDE.
browserstack local arguments
I have run the repository out of the box and changed no settings. I know that my Browserstack access credentials are correct and non-local tests run OK.
Platform details
- browserstack-local-java version: 1.0.1
- java version: 1.8
- os type and version: Windows 10
Details
the command Local.start() does not appear to function correctly and throws an error when invoked. The function new Local(); works OK and returns an object. The hashmap contains the correct elements.

Additional info: It appears the error is occurring due to an issue with my browserstack local (although it says it is enabled, I can't visit local pages manually either). For this I have submitted a support request. However, the error is confusing. It should report back that the local test environment is disconnected, which it doesn't do. I attach a screenshot showing the fact it's disconnected.

I am seeing the same issue when I ran the example Class as well separately just as a Java class:
Exception in thread "main" org.json.JSONException: JSONObject["message"] is not a JSONObject.
at org.json.JSONObject.getJSONObject(JSONObject.java:640)
at com.browserstack.local.Local.start(Local.java:80)
at BrowserStackLocalExample.main(BrowserStackLocalExample.java:36)
For the following lines:
l = new Local();
HashMap<String, String> options = new HashMap<String, String>();
options.put("key", access_key);
l.start(options); //Above mentioned error is thrown at this line
I have tried with the following browserstack local versions:
1.0.3,1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0
My Browserstack access credentials are correct and non-local tests ran without any connectivity issues.
Platform Details:
- Maven - 3.3.9
- Browsertack local dependency added in POM:
com.browserstack browserstack-local-java 1.0.0UPDATE:****
When I tried with Browserstack Local version 0.3.0, then the following error message is thrown:
Exception in thread "main" com.browserstack.local.LocalException: Disconnected
at com.browserstack.local.Local.start(Local.java:78)
After careful debugging, I found there is some issue at these lines inside the Local.class:
protected LocalProcess runCommand(List command) throws IOException {
ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder(command);
final Process process = processBuilder.start();
Maybe the right list of commands is not passed to the processbuilder.

After some more analysis, I found the following method in Local.class file to run the command , even when we ran it manually from command line it throws the same error:
private void makeCommand(Map<String, String> options, String opCode) {
command = new ArrayList();
command.add(binaryPath);
command.add("-d");
command.add(opCode);
command.add("--key");
command.add(options.get("key"));
In the above method if we remove the two lines and run then I think the local test might get enabled (though not sure what else might break)
manually running this command from source directory:
Just by running-
BrowserStackLocal.exe -- key yourAccessKeyValue
The local connection is established without issues.

I am seeing the same issue. Any updates on this?

@artemklimenkov-qa could you confirm if you are encountering the same error with browserstack local v8.0
https://www.browserstack.com/local-testing/releases/v8.0

I get the same error even with the latest release v8.0.1.
I am starting Browserstack Local in a linux container running in OpenShift.
This issue appears since 25. May. before we had no problems.
here is the error :
Caused by: org.json.JSONException: A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at 1 [character 2 line 1]
