question

Oh BTW the only way I was able to get SOMETHING working, went from this:

     jsonKeys = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, JToken>>(result.Results.ToString());

            playerInfo.genre = jsonKeys["messageValue"]["Genre"]["Value"].ToString();
            playerInfo.currBodyItem = jsonKeys["messageValue"]["CurrBodyItem"]["Value"].ToString();
            playerInfo.currHeadItem = jsonKeys["messageValue"]["CurrHeadItem"]["Value"].ToString();
            playerInfo.currCharacterSet = jsonKeys["messageValue"]["CurrTexture"]["Value"].ToString();
            playerInfo.playerLevel = jsonKeys["messageValue"]["PlayerLevel"]["Value"].ToString();
            playerInfo.currEXP = int.Parse(jsonKeys["messageValue"]["CurrentExperience"]["Value"].ToString());

to this

jsonKeys = (JsonObject)result.Results;
            object objectContainer;

            jsonKeys.TryGetValue("messageValue", out objectContainer);
            object value;
            ((JsonObject)objectContainer).TryGetValue("Genre", out value);
            object actualData;

            playerInfo.genre = (string)actualData;

            ((JsonObject)objectContainer).TryGetValue("CurrBodyItem", out value);
            ((JsonObject)value).TryGetValue("Value", out actualData);
            playerInfo.currBodyItem = (string)actualData;

            ((JsonObject)objectContainer).TryGetValue("CurrHeadItem", out value);
            ((JsonObject)value).TryGetValue("Value", out actualData);
            playerInfo.currHeadItem = (string)actualData;

            ((JsonObject)objectContainer).TryGetValue("CurrTexture", out value);
            ((JsonObject)value).TryGetValue("Value", out actualData);
            playerInfo.currCharacterSet = (string)actualData;

            ((JsonObject)objectContainer).TryGetValue("PlayerLevel", out value);
            ((JsonObject)value).TryGetValue("Value", out actualData);
            playerInfo.playerLevel = (string)actualData;

            ((JsonObject)objectContainer).TryGetValue("CurrentExperience", out value);
            ((JsonObject)value).TryGetValue("Value", out actualData);
            playerInfo.currEXP = int.Parse((string)actualData);

Which I hope you will agree became a little ridiculous....

Very well, that helped!!

Now am facing a problem... again with the serializing:

        JsonObject values = (JsonObject)result.Results;
        object container;
        values.TryGetValue("messageValue", out container);

        string jsonData = PlayFab.SimpleJson.SerializeObject((JsonObject)container);
        UserAccountInfo account = new UserAccountInfo();
        account = PlayFab.SimpleJson.DeserializeObject<UserAccountInfo>(jsonData, Util.ApiSerializerStrategy);

This line always makes the account  information be null, even though the jsonData is correct... weird here is that this actually works:

            jsonKeys = (JsonObject)result.Results;
            object objectContainer;
            jsonKeys.TryGetValue("messageValue", out objectContainer);

            string jsonData = PlayFab.SimpleJson.SerializeObject((JsonObject)objectContainer);
            Dictionary<string, UserDataRecord> data = new Dictionary<string, UserDataRecord>();
            data = PlayFab.SimpleJson.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string,UserDataRecord>>(jsonData, Util.ApiSerializerStrategy);

            playerInfo.genre = data["Genre"].Value;
            playerInfo.currBodyItem = data["CurrBodyItem"].Value;
            playerInfo.currHeadItem = data["CurrHeadItem"].Value;
            playerInfo.currCharacterSet = data["CurrTexture"].Value;
            playerInfo.playerLevel = data["PlayerLevel"].Value;
            playerInfo.currEXP = int.Parse(data["CurrentExperience"].Value);

Any idea why this might not be working??

I don't quite follow what you're attempting to deserialize. Is this the results coming from a script, or a call to one of the Get... API methods? The top part is trying to retrieve the user record you'd get from GetAccountInfo, while the bottom is trying to get info from user data of some sort, so I'm guessing this is likely trying to deserialize the info coming from the script. Can you let us know the Title ID for the script and the revision number?

Sure thing:

BD4D Title ID

Revision 262

But the function is very simple:

handlers.getUserInfoWithID = function (args)
{
    var getInfo = server.GetUserAccountInfo({
        PlayFabId : args.PlayerID
    });
    
    log.debug(getInfo);
    log.debug(getInfo.data);
    
    return { messageValue : getInfo };
}

Pretty much what we we do, is send the playerID (example, getting account Info from a "friend" player). and then we set up the values if they exist.

void GetInfoFromIDCallback (RunCloudScriptResult result)
    {
        JsonObject values = (JsonObject)result.Results;
        object container;
        values.TryGetValue("messageValue", out container);

        string jsonData = PlayFab.SimpleJson.SerializeObject((JsonObject)container);
        UserAccountInfo account = new UserAccountInfo();
        account = PlayFab.SimpleJson.DeserializeObject<UserAccountInfo>(jsonData, Util.ApiSerializerStrategy);

        string faceID = "";
        if (result.ResultsEncoded.Contains("FacebookInfo"))
        {
            faceID = account.FacebookInfo.FacebookId;
        }

        string playfabID = account.PlayFabId;

        string displayName = "";
        if(result.ResultsEncoded.Contains("DisplayName"))
        {
            displayName = account.TitleInfo.DisplayName;
        }
        else
        {
            if (result.ResultsEncoded.Contains("FacebookInfo"))
            {
                displayName = account.FacebookInfo.FullName;
            }
        }

        if(playfabID == playerInfo.localID)
        {
            playerInfo.displayName = displayName;
        }

        if (OnApiResponseWithParam != null)
        {
            OnApiResponseWithParam(playfabID, faceID, displayName);
        }
    }

I mean, you are absolutely right, perhaps we could get this information using the client API, but I really want to know IF it is possible to deserialize the UserAccountInfo, since I am pretty sure the same issue happens if I am returning any of the other types (for example the Dictionary<string,UserDataRecord> that I was able to serialize and deserialize).

Thanks in advance brendan.

Also... this might be unrelated, but the game is not asking for the secret key anymore :/

if I write

PlayFabSettings.DeveloperSecretKey = secretKey;

it gives me an error... This was straight after upgrading the plugin.

Well I definitely see a couple of things that are strange with they way you are trying to deserialize / serialize objects in your code, however I'm not convinced that it is an issue.

So first let's tackle the issues that I think might be causing a problem.  My first thought is why are you putting the result of your GetUserAccountInfo into another object?   Why not return it as-is?

So your cloudscript would be.
handlers.getUserInfoWithID = function (args)
{
    var getInfo = server.GetUserAccountInfo({
        PlayFabId : args.PlayerID
    });
    

    // Commented these out because of errors.
    //log.debug(getInfo);  <-- this returned errors for me
    //log.debug(getInfo.data); <-- this returned errors for me 
    
    return getInfo;
}

Then in the client code (C#) I did the following.
http://pastebin.com/CtsPCe6T

I was able to get a successful deserialization for UserAccountInfo.

Lastly,  you said that you had trouble with:  PlayFabSettings.DeveloperSecretKey = secretKey;   
This makes me think that you are using the Combined SDK which has the server & client SDK.   Which we do not recommend.  The pure client SDK does not have this field in PlayFabSettings.  So maybe you upgraded to the latest SDK of client only?  

Hello Marco,

Thanks a lot for your input, that actually helps a lot. I am definitely confused by the JsonObject class, I think it's simpler than I think.

Now, I am getting the right values, but I am going to go through all my playfab code (a lot) to make sure that the data is coming back as it should be.

Regarding the Secret Key, I just deleted every file that would say PlayFab, and still, no way to set the secret key (and the game is actually being able to make calls into the service :O ) Is this on purpose??

Thanks a lot both of you for your help

JP

Well, the client should always be able to make calls regardless - the issue is that you can't make Server or Admin API calls without the Secret Key. Which is actually as intended, since you should never ship a version of your game with the Secret Key embedded. That would give hackers the ability (via the Secret Key) to make any Server or Admin call they wanted to. Instead, you should hook up Server API calls via Cloud Script.

Also, checked here

https://github.com/PlayFab/UnitySDK

And the client sample ( https://github.com/PlayFab/UnitySDK/tree/master/PlayFabClientSample ) has no mention of the DeveloperSecretKey.

On the other side: (https://github.com/PlayFab/UnitySDK/tree/master/PlayFabServerSample/Assets/PlayFabSDK/Public)

here it can be found under
