Angular.js Error: Expected response to contain an array but got an object although isArray is set to false

Question

I have an angular resource factory, which returns a JSON object and looks like this:

angular.module('myApp').factory('resourceProvider', function ($resource, $http) {
return {
Attribute: $resource('http://localhost:49980/api/Attribute/:id', 
{ id: '@id' }, { query: { method: 'GET', isArray: false } }),     
};
});

When I 'query' the resource like this:

resourceProvider.Attribute.query(function (data) {
  $scope.variable = data;
});

I get: Error: [$resource:badcfg] Error in resource configuration. Expected response to contain an array but got an object.

This seems really strange to me because I'm setting isArray to false. Furthermore the code is working fine on other pcs. So I would be really thankful if anyone had an idea where the error could come from.

Answer 1

Problem solved. There was a problem with the db authenication and the error message happend to be a JSON object. So there was actually a JSON object returned instead of an array.

Answer 2

Question1: Why are you using angulars $resource-service and not $http-service?
Question2: If you want to use $resource, why you whant to override $resource's default behavior?
See Angular Docs

And im not sure but, do you have a typo in

return {
Attribute: $resource('http://localhost:49980/api/Attribute/:id', 
{ id: '@id' }, { query: { method: 'GET', isArray: false } }),     
};
