JSON data in Web_custom_request- Vugen - json

Question

LR script throws warning and fails for the JSON Response.
Below is the script
char *request_json_base;
char *request_json;
web_add_header("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
request_json_base= "{\"GLDefaultId\":0,\"ProjectId\":{ContactProjectId},\"CoaMainId\":10,\"UserId\":{UserId},\"Notes\":\"\",\"PRO_GLDefaultValue\":[{\"GLDefaultValueId\":0,\"GLDefaultId\":0,\"SegmentId\":16,\"Alias\":\"ACT\",\"SegmentType\":\"DETAIL\",\"FunctionTypeId\":0,\"Value\":\"&&&\",\"Mask\":\"&&&\",\"IsRequired\":true,\"LastModified\":null,\"IsCoaRequired\":true},{\"GLDefaultValueId\":0,\"GLDefaultId\":0,\"SegmentId\":17,\"Alias\":\"ST\",\"SegmentType\":\"SET\",\"FunctionTypeId\":0,\"Value\":\"&&\",\"Mask\":\"&&\",\"IsRequired\":false,\"LastModified\":null,\"IsCoaRequired\":false}]}",
request_json = lr_eval_string(request_json_base);
lr_save_string(request_json, "REQUEST_JSON_PARAM");
web_custom_request("PRO_GLDefault",
"URL=https://{URL}/PayrollWebApi/V1/PRO_GLDefault?userId={UserId}",
"Method=POST",
"TargetFrame=",
"Resource=0",
"RecContentType=application/json",
"Referer=",

LAST);
Below is Replay Log :

Below is the Successful Response during the recording:

}
Please advise me how to overcome this

Answer 1

Warning is just that, a warning, not an error, and expected if you have curly braces in your post
What is line 85, where the error is generated?

Answer 2

See these two lines:
request_json_base= "{\"GLDefaultId\":0,\"ProjectId\":{ContactProjectId},\"CoaMainId\":10,\"UserId\":{UserId},\"Notes\":\"\",\"PRO_GLDefaultValue\":[{\"GLDefaultValueId\":0,\"GLDefaultId\":0,\"SegmentId\":16,\"Alias\":\"ACT\",\"SegmentType\":\"DETAIL\",\"FunctionTypeId\":0,\"Value\":\"&&&\",\"Mask\":\"&&&\",\"IsRequired\":true,\"LastModified\":null,\"IsCoaRequired\":true},{\"GLDefaultValueId\":0,\"GLDefaultId\":0,\"SegmentId\":17,\"Alias\":\"ST\",\"SegmentType\":\"SET\",\"FunctionTypeId\":0,\"Value\":\"&&\",\"Mask\":\"&&\",\"IsRequired\":false,\"LastModified\":null,\"IsCoaRequired\":false}]}",
request_json = lr_eval_string(request_json_base);
They are not doing what you think they are doing. You are neither allocating space for this data ( see malloc() in combination with a char * variable), nor are you assigning the value to the variable correctly for the C language (see strcpy() )
