Here's the code I'm using to get the data:
def read_phantom():
try:
with open(phantom_file, "r") as f:
return json.load(f)
except:
return {"status": False}
And here is the raw data from the file: {"status": true, "angle": -0.0, "speed": 0.0, "time": 1556521858546.0}
However, I randomly get the error: No JSON object could be decoded
Any ideas what could be causing it?
What about randomly occurrence (Please specify case for this),you can also use these 2 code to read file content.
Code 1
import json
def read_phantom():
try:
with open('file_path/phantom_file') as json_file:
data = json.load(json_file)
return (data)
except:
return {"status": False}
record = read_phantom()
print (record)
Code 2
def read_phantom():
try:
content = []
f = open('phantom_file','r')
for line in f:
cont = line.rstrip("\n")
content.append(cont)
return (content)
except:
return {"status": False}
record = read_phantom()
print (record)
json.load documentation, you should pass an file-like objectI was writing to the json file from another Python file periodically at the same time, and using the line f.seek(0) immediately before reading the contents drastically helped reduce the number of errors I received. No idea why, but I seem to be having no issues with parsing the file contents now after that.
try: ... except ...: ...around thejson.loadand in the except clause dump the file name (or better path) and file contentimport os; os.path.exists(path)checking in order to avoid file path issues or whatever.
