Stream.AddStreamEntries produces null pointer exception

[ague]

Hello, 

I have a stream that I am attempting to add entries to by calling the .AddStreamEntries() method. I have tried passing two different infotables - one whose datashape is identical to the datashape on the stream which I'm trying to edit, and one which is defined by a new datashape, where I added the fields for 'location', 'tags', etc (to match more exactly with all stream fields). 

Both methods throw a null pointer exception. I know that the infotable I'm passing it is not empty - already checked that.

Any ideas?

Things["MY_STREAM"].AddStreamEntries({
values: MY_INFO_TABLE /* INFOTABLE */
});

Hard to say without more details on the Infotable contents you are adding and the Stream datashape. But for sure you need to fill standard parameters of stream: timestamp, sourceType and source.

If anyone is reading this and looking for an answer, here's the solution:

You must pass in a timestamp to the .AddStreamEntries() method (in addition to the values, of course). You do not need to pass in a 'source' nor 'sourceType'  - the service will still work. You actually don't even need to define a datashape for the infotable you pass in - you can just make an object directly.
