Unsecure Config – Error when parsing JSON in plugin code

Posted on by Community member

Hi,

I set the unsecure config to the following JSON:
{/DebugVirtualPlugin/:/true/}

Per online jsonlint.com, it’s a valid JSON

Trace log of the unsecure config string
Code: Context.Trace($/unsecure: {unsecure.EscapeInterpolation()} );
Output: unsecure: {/DebugVirtualPlugin/:/true/}

Trying to deserialize the JSON into the following class:
public class UnsecureConfig
{
[JsonPropertyName(/DebugVirtualPlugin/)]
public string DebugVirtualPlugin { get; set; }
}

Code to deserialize
var unsecureConfig = System.Text.Json.JsonSerializer.Deserialize<UnsecureConfig>(/{///DebugVirtualPlugin///:///true///}/);

Error
System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Element 'http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Collections.Generic:value' contains data from a type that maps to the name 'Model.Config:UnsecureConfig'. The deserializer has no knowledge of any type that maps to this name. Consider changing the implementation of the ResolveName method on your DataContractResolver to return a non-null value for name 'UnsecureConfig' and namespace 'Model.Config'.

This error happens when I am trying to deserialize in plugin code, but in a Test method, it deserializes without a problem:

[TestMethod]
public void DeserializeJson_UnsecureConfig_Test()
{
var json = /{///DebugVirtualPlugin///: ///true///}/;
var unsecureConfig = System.Text.Json.JsonSerializer.Deserialize<UnsecureConfig>(json);
Assert.IsTrue(unsecureConfig.DebugVirtualPlugin == /true/);
}

Any thoughts?

Hi,

Here is my code to deserialize the JSON.

You can refer to the following official documentation.

How to deserialize JSON in C# - .NET | Microsoft Learn

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Threading.Tasks;

using System.Text.Json;

using System.Text.Json.Serialization;

namespace ConsoleApp1

{

internal class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

var json = @"{""DebugVirtualPlugin"":true}";

var unsecureConfig = System.Text.Json.JsonSerializer.Deserialize<UnsecureConfig>(json);

Console.WriteLine($"DebugVirtualPlugin: {unsecureConfig.DebugVirtualPlugin}");

}

}

public class UnsecureConfig

{

[JsonPropertyName("DebugVirtualPlugin")]

public bool DebugVirtualPlugin { get; set; }

}

}

Best Regards,
Dengliang Li

Hi Dengliang,

Thank you for responding and creating the code for this use case.

I am able to do the same in a Test Method:

BUT, the problem is that if you try to do this within Plugin Code, the Deserialize method does not work and throw this error:

System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Element 'http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Collections.Generic:value' contains data from a type that maps to the name 'Model.Config:UnsecureConfig'. The deserializer has no knowledge of any type that maps to this name. Consider changing the implementation of the ResolveName method on your DataContractResolver to return a non-null value for name 'UnsecureConfig' and namespace 'Model.Config'.

Any idea?

Best,

Tony
