GetUserStatus problem

[Tsjippy]

I use JsonRpc via a unix socket, but I do not get any response for the GetUserStatus command.

This works: echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"getUserStatus","params":{"recipient":["+SOMENUMBER"]},"id":6}' | signal-cli jsonRpc

This works too: printf '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"send","params":{"recipient":["+SOMENUMBER"],"message":"hi"},"id":6}' | socat UNIX-CONNECT:/home/simnige1/sockets/signal -

But this does not work, no response, not even an error printf '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"getUserStatus","params":{"recipient":["+SOMENUMBER"]},"id":6}' | socat UNIX-CONNECT:/home/simnige1/sockets/signal -

If I make however a deliberate mistake in the command like this: printf '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"getUserStatus","params":{"recipien":["+SOMENUMBER"]},"id":6}' | socat UNIX-CONNECT:/home/simnige1/sockets/signal -

I get a response, although emty because I did not use command properly: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":[],"id":6}

How can I make it work?

Your exact command works for me. So it looks like something with the CDSI request might hang or dead lock. However it's strange that it works with the signal-cli jsonRpc command ... Can you provide a verbose log (-vv) of the signal-cli daemon, that might shed some light on what's going on.

This is the relevant portion of the log:

any clue?

[AsamK]

I found the issue. The problem is that socat closes the connection before signal-cli can send the response. By default socat has a timeout of 0.5s after its input stream has closed. The timeout can be increased with the -t parameter. printf '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"getUserStatus","params":{"recipient":["+SOMENUMBER"]},"id":6}' | socat -t 60 UNIX-CONNECT:/home/simnige1/sockets/signal -

Thank you so much!☺️
