Failed To Submit Error

Anthony_Mosinski — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 21:13:52 GMT

I recently published a survey using survey123 connect and I am now trying to test collecting data using a browser and mobile device. In both cases, I receive the following error statement when trying to submit the survey.

"Failed to submit. Hide details - class org.json.JSONObject cannot be cast to class com.esri.core.geometry.Geometry (org.json.JSONObject and com.esri.core.geometry.Geometry are in unnamed module of loader java.net.URLClassLoader @614ddd49)"

I am not sure what this error means or what is causing it. Any help would be helpful. Thanks

Smells like a special char or reserved word issue. Post the form or its almost impossible to troubleshoot this.

Here is the xls form.

Yep big red errors right there. 123 really does not like when you name things the same. Need to change these. It may publish but like you are seeing it comes back to get you. In theory this should be ok since its just groups. but good to start there. I do EndSignGroup like that. The red and green errors mean something, cannot ignore them. (except for select one of course that always does that)

I also would change the list names to like signList (mostly an issue in older 123 but still best practice).

Hope that helps

I made the changes but the survey is still resulting in the same error message.

Including the XLSForm with very minor modifications. I simply removed the duplicated names and published as a new survey.

It works fine for me in both the web and mobile apps, except for the range question which looks poorly in the web app (this is a known limitation*).

I wonder if the error you are seeing is caused by how the geopoint value is passed from the web app into this survey. Can you share the URL you are using to open this survey? From the hint values in your design, it seems like you are opening this survey via a link with parameters. Is that right?

*ENH-000125882 ENH-000142890 Please improve the appearance of the Range control in the Web Browser view of Survey123. (Support for numeric ranges)

I unfortunately cannot share it as it is not shared publicly and I do not have the permissions to do so. But hopefully you can still help. Below is the the unique URL that is on the bridge point feature in AGOL.

A user will click on a bridge point and within the pop-up there is the link to conduct the survey with the below custom URL. I attached images of the pop-up configuration window and the final pop-up itself.

If you cant share publicly, I suggest you open an Esri Technical Support so an analyst can help you diagnose the problem. I am almost certain that the problem has to do with the values being passed to the form. The link you provided is missing a curly bracket at the end. May be a copy-paste error? At first sight, with the minor tweaks above to the design, I think from a survey perspective everything looks good.

Hey Anthony - Did you ever receive resolution to this? All of our survey123 surveys are receiving this error now.

Re: Failed To Submit Error

DougBrowning — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 20:31:36 GMT

Is this a typo in the URL? &center={latitude_f},{longitude_} maybe its &center={latitude_f},{longitude_f} ?

Some more details from our specific scenario. We house the data for Survey123 on premise. We have had a survey running for over a month. We upgraded to 3.15. Post upgrade, we receive the error message on the published survey (no changes). I can create a simple survey, with a single text field with a unique field name and publish it just fine. When I go to submit an answer to the survey for the single text with a unique field, it fails with the error mention above.

Here is the JSON Object that is failing.

id":0,"adds":[{"attributes":{"is_appstate_going_to_win":"yes","globalid":"{guidreplaced}"},"geometry":{"spatialReference":{"wkid":4326},"x":0,"y":0}}]}]

We have upgraded the version of connect to 3.15.175 using the version 3.15 of the survey123 in the portal.

Since upgrading to this latest version of connect & then publishing a survey it's broken all of our other surveys. We get the attached error whenever we try & submit a survey for both surveys we've created using the connect XL method or the online designer.

@AndrewReynoldsDevon and @MarcSmith1 I have not received a solution yet. I am working with Esri Tech Support now to figure it out. I will post the solution once we receive one.

@IsmaelChivite have you heard anything additional about this issue?

Hello all - We ended up rolling back the update that was applied last Friday. Once the update was rolled back, the survey's started working again.

We published a survey with the old version of connect 3.13 .251 however we get the same error as with the new version of connect when we go to submit a survey

Updating to indicate that the resolution for this case turned out to be an issue related to the following:

Field names passed in URL parameters are case sensitive.

Re: Failed To Submit Error

AndrewReynoldsDevon — Fri, 09 Sep 2022 07:28:45 GMT

With a test survey I just made sure all the parameters for the URL were lower case, then republished but still get the same error when going to submit a survey

Re: Failed To Submit Error

Annie_K — Fri, 09 Sep 2022 12:08:24 GMT

Hi Andrew,

Rather than ensuring all parameters are lower case, you will ensure all parameters match the case of your survey question names and the field names in your data. For example (from Ismael's Survey123 Tricks of the Trade: Web Form URL Parameters blog post):

Question names are case sensitive. You must pass the exact name. For example, in the oak survey, field:commonName=Oak will work, but field:CommonName=Oak will not work.

...?field:commonName=Oak

Similarly, if you're incorporating the URL in a Map Viewer map pop-up, for instance, and you want to pass a value from one of the fields in the map's data table, your URL will need to specify that field using the same case as your field name in the data table. If the field name is "Tree", then the URL will fail if "tree" is used.

Case sensitivity is just one of the requirements that needs to be met when creating your Survey URL to pass parameters. If you find that your case is correct, in every instance, and you are still generating errors on submission, there may be another issue with your URL syntax or survey. If so, please feel free to share more details here for the community and/or contact us by opening a new case so that we may troubleshoot toward a resolution.

Thanks!

Thanks for the above however I've now published the exact same survey to our spare server & it's working fine so I think something must have happened on the server with the issue when we upgraded to 3.15 from 3.13. I have a support call with ESRI so will let that continue.
