Is there any known issue with removing a friend (server API call) when the player we are removing the friend from is friends with deleted player profiles? I'm not asking about removing the deleted profile but rather a valid profile.
I'm experiencing some sort of error in regards to removing a friend and it's very difficult to re-create or narrow in on the cause.
There aren't any known issues, no. What are the details of the error you're seeing? Can you post the actual call you're making and the complete body of the response from the service?
This is the call:
server.RemoveFriend({ "PlayFabId": currentPlayerId, "FriendPlayFabId": friendId });
I can't provide the error response because we actually parse any received errors and pass them back to the client in a simplified format so we can inform the player. What we do is catch the error in a try/catch statement and do the following, with "e" being the error dictionary:
e["apiErrorInfo"]["apiError"]["error"]
The interesting thing here is that most errors can be parsed using this method. However with the error I'm receiving it can't because either: a) the error is null or b) e["apiErrorInfo"] == null. The result of this is that we pass back an "undefined" error state.
My best guess is that the error is coming from the RemoveFriend API call because I see this error in my dashboard where I'd expect to see it relation to when we're experiencing the issue.
I think I may have found the issue. We do a toLowerCase() string modification on all friend profiles, including deleted ones. Problem is the deleted friend profiles can't handle this because their TitleDisplayName is undefined so we get an error. That would explain why we were unable to parse the error response as expected. However the deleted profile in the dashboard does show a TitleDisplayName and it's not empty.
That sounds like the issue is that the Game Manager shows incorrect data for the friend, then - is that the only issue you're seeing on our side, now that you've tracked this down? I'll get a bug opened on that.
From what I've noticed that is the only issue.
Another note; I don't see these deleted profiles in the list of players in the Game Manager players tab. But I can still search by playfab id or display name and find the deleted profile.
Currently I am having difficulties with removing friend. When I am trying to remove friend using playfab website (Player - Friends tab) - it shows me "Error" popup. My title id is 1019
