Hi everyone,
I have created a custom connector for a local REST service. While testing within the editor I don't get any errors and the response of the service is displayed correctly.But when I use the function in Power Apps the collection stores an entry but it is empty.
I attached screenshots for the function and the collection in power apps and the test in the editor.
Thanks
Julian
Hi Julian,
To diagnose this, I'd replace the control references with hard coded values to check whether it could be incorrect or blank values that causes your connector to not return data.
Also, how did you define bb_zeitstempel in your Swagger/OpenAPI? Is it a string or a date parameter? If you defined it as string, you might need to call Text(Now()) to convert it to a string.
@timl Hey,
replacing the references with hard coded values didn't work.
The "bb_zeitstempel" is defined as a string. However, changing this didn't help either.
Hi @Anonymous
I'm not sure what to suggest unfortunately. Are you able to trace your REST service to see if it's receiving the HTTP request correctly, and that it's sending the output that you expect?
@timlNo i can't, the REST service is provided by another company.
Although this might sound obvious, are you sure that you're not receiving any data at all?
If you drill into the besuchbericht field by clicking the empty cell, do you see column headers for your bb_number and bb_status fields?
@timl
I can't click into the field, nothing happens.Guess it is because there is no object?
Yes, I guess it might be because there's no object. Just to confirm, if you add a label and set the text property to the following, does it return any data?
First(PostAtwortAD).besuchbericht.bb_number
The label shows no text.
But there is also no error.
The diagnose this further, the next thing I would suggest would be to create a PowerAutomate Flow and to call your custom connector from a Flow.
When you run the Flow, you can examine the Flow history and see the exact response that the server sends. This can help you identify whether or not the REST service returns no data, and I think that's the best way to move forwards given that you have no access to the server.
Hi @timl , sorry for answering late.
I tested the Request in Flow.
It returns the expected data, i attached a screenshot of the results.
Maybe there is a way to call the request through flow and pass it back to power apps?
