Submitted events of Phonetrack are malformed

[xTGHHx]

Phonetrack events generating tons of errors in NC log and events in 'Activity' are look like 'Rich subject or a parameter for "Das PhoneTrack-Gerät „{device}” der Sitzung „{session}” hat den Geofence-Bereich „{geofence}” verlassen" is malformed'.

Error in the NC log:

Phonetrack 0.8.2 NC 31.0.3

[xTGHHx]

maybe this gives additional insights: https://github.com/nextcloud/activity/issues/1875#event-17169110287

[bknow1452]

Hy there,

same problem here. NC 31.0.3 and Phonetrack 0.8.2. I am happy to provide logs or more information if needed, but bassically it looks the same at my instance like at @xTGHHx instance.

[GAS85]

Just update from NC 30 to 31 and this error appears.

[toas-koas]

I have the same error Rich subject or a parameter for "The PhoneTrack device '{device}' of session '{session}' has entered the geofence area '{geofence}'" is malformed Rich subject or a parameter for "The PhoneTrack session '{session}' is now shared with {who}" is malformed

This is fixed in 44ddb3d35e823998516c1d3cfb2e994bb4aaf005 and d88a7f7a647d336b49231537f25e1bbaff7df9a0 . Could someone try those changes? (by using the main branch or by applying those changes manually)

[xTGHHx]

I applied the changes manually for testing and will give feedback as soon I'll have new events reported. Tom

Seems like there's more to do:

InvalidObjectExeption Object for placeholder device is invalid, value 19 for key id is not a string /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/RichObjectStrings/Validator.php Zeile 59 OC\RichObjectStrings\Validator->validateParameter() /var/www/nextcloud/apps/activity/lib/GroupHelper.php Zeile 83 OC\RichObjectStrings\Validator->validate() /var/www/nextcloud/apps/activity/lib/GroupHelper.php Zeile 47 OCA\Activity\GroupHelper->addEvent() /var/www/nextcloud/apps/activity/lib/Data.php Zeile 234 OCA\Activity\GroupHelper->addActivity() /var/www/nextcloud/apps/activity/lib/Dashboard/ActivityWidget.php Zeile 147 OCA\Activity\Data->get() /var/www/nextcloud/apps/dashboard/lib/Controller/DashboardApiController.php Zeile 119 OCA\Activity\Dashboard\ActivityWidget->getItemsV2() /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/AppFramework/Http/Dispatcher.php Zeile 204 OCA\Dashboard\Controller\DashboardApiController->getWidgetItemsV2() /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/AppFramework/Http/Dispatcher.php Zeile 118 OC\AppFramework\Http\Dispatcher->executeController() /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/AppFramework/App.php Zeile 153 OC\AppFramework\Http\Dispatcher->dispatch() /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/Route/Router.php Zeile 321 OC\AppFramework\App::main() /var/www/nextcloud/ocs/v1.php Zeile 61 OC\Route\Router->match() /var/www/nextcloud/ocs/v2.php Zeile 8 undefinedundefinedrequire_once( "/var/www/nextcloud/ocs/v1.php" )

This happens if I call the dashboard. Don't know if this is related to the dashboard or to phonetrack, but error is reported in relation to phonetrack. Let me know if I can supply more info to this.
