Can't Publish since updating to Vuforia Studio 8.3.4

Can't Publish since updating to Vuforia Studio 8.3.4

I was on 8.3.1 and it was publishing just fine, I updated to 8.3.4 and the publishing stopped working. I do not get any errors in Vuforia Studio itself, but it doesn't ever show the publishing progress bar, the publish and saves button grey out, and the log shows the following:

[10/09/2018 13:09:18] error: [twx-studio:index] uncaughtException SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0
[10/09/2018 13:09:18] at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)

 

I have successfully validated the Experience Server and the only change was updating.

Locate publish.js and change line 37 to the following:

let mtgCapabilityParams = {};//body ? JSON.parse(body) : {};

I had this same problem and the change above fixed it.  The CAD target capability they had on the server was improperly handled.  The server returns something like <anon> which JSON.parse can not handle (and throws an error).

We are wondering if it is possible that the new version of ThingWorx studio application will not communicate with old version of On-Prem Experience server?  Our plan is to upgrade the ES.

Hi - 

would you be able to provide some more info about the ES you are/were using? Is it a trial instance, PTC hosted, or on-prem? Which version was it?

We will put in a fix for this, but would like to better understand how it came to occur.

Thanks

Thanks.  It's on-Prem server for which we are paying subscription on.  (not trial license..however, this ES version represents the version from the On-Prem trial).   Our admin is in process of updating the ES to a new version, so I don't know honestly if it is worth time trying to chase a permanent solution or not if we know the updated version will eliminate this issue. 

 

I can get more details on the exact version of the ES, but if the new version resolves this issue, than I think we can ignore it.  I've already got something in place internally to make sure all our Studio user's get this change.

Thanks for the info. I suspect it's the older version of the ES that causes this behavior. I expect we will get the Studio change into the November release
