Description
I posted in one of the adafruit forums, and it was suggested that I submit an issue here.
So, I'm playing with the funhouse, sending feeds for different sensors, and I want to create a group "Test" for my test feeds to go into before deploying it to my Garage, and putting those feeds into the group "Garage"
I created a group Test and a group Garage.
I didn't create any feeds, I was going to let the circuitpython create the feeds as it pushes data.
Then in my circuitpython, I got it to push data to "test.temperature" but what it created was a feed with the name "test.temperature" and the key "test-dot-temperature" :-D
That's not too bad, and kindof understandable, but then it can't continue to push to that feed.
I get the error
File "adafruit_portalbase/network.py", line 380, in push_to_io
File "adafruit_io/adafruit_io.py", line 682, in create_new_feed
File "adafruit_io/adafruit_io.py", line 518, in _post
File "adafruit_io/adafruit_io.py", line 498, in _handle_error
AdafruitIO_RequestError: Adafruit IO Error 400: ['Name must be unique within the selected group', 'Key must be unique within the selected group', 'Group feeds is invalid']
So it seems there's an inconsistency between the servercode behind
GET feeds/{0} (called from get_feed in adafruit_io/adafruit_io.py
and the server code behind
POST feeds {"name": feed_key ... } (called from create_new_feed in adafruit_io/adafruit_io.py
looks like create_new_feed replaces the . with -dot- but that same replacement isn't done when get_feed is called.
I worked around it by pre-creating my feeds in the group, and then the code behaves as expected.
