Deserialization issue with slack sdk with message attachments
Noticed this with one of our customers:
j.l.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was BEGIN_ARRAY at line 1 column 265032 path $.messages[115].attachments[0].list_records[0].fields[1].message See https://github.com/google/gson/blob/main/Troubleshooting.md#unexpected-json-structure at c.g.g.s.JsonReader.unexpectedTokenError(JsonReader.java:1768) at c.g.g.s.JsonReader.beginObject(JsonReader.java:469) at c.g.g.i.b.ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory$Adapter.read(ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory.java:509) ... 43 common frames omitted Wrapped by: c.g.g.JsonSyntaxException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was BEGIN_ARRAY at line 1 column 265032 path $.messages[115].attachments[0].list_records[0].fields[1].message See https://github.com/google/gson/blob/main/Troubleshooting.md#unexpected-json-structure at c.g.g.i.b.ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory$Adapter.read(ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory.java:520) at c.g.g.Gson$FutureTypeAdapter.read(Gson.java:1516) at c.g.g.i.b.ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory$2.readIntoField(ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory.java:267) at c.g.g.i.b.ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory$FieldReflectionAdapter.readField(ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory.java:558) at c.g.g.i.b.ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory$Adapter.read(ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory.java:516) at c.g.g.i.b.TypeAdapterRuntimeTypeWrapper.read(TypeAdapterRuntimeTypeWrapper.java:40) at c.g.g.i.b.CollectionTypeAdapterFactory$Adapter.read(CollectionTypeAdapterFactory.java:83) at c.g.g.i.b.CollectionTypeAdapterFactory$Adapter.read(CollectionTypeAdapterFactory.java:59) at c.g.g.i.b.ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory$2.readIntoField(ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory.java:267) at c.g.g.i.b.ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory$FieldReflectionAdapter.readField(ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory.java:558) at c.g.g.i.b.ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory$Adapter.read(ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory.java:516) at c.g.g.i.b.TypeAdapterRuntimeTypeWrapper.read(TypeAdapterRuntimeTypeWrapper.java:40) at c.g.g.i.b.CollectionTypeAdapterFactory$Adapter.read(CollectionTypeAdapterFactory.java:83)

Hey @rasharab! 👋 Apologies for lagging on a response here! 😓
At the moment it's not obvious what might be causing this, but I'm wondering if a specific message might be resulting in this that could be used for testing a fix?
A parsing error doesn't seem right for incoming events so I marked this as a "bug" but I also don't have a workaround 🐛
🔍 This might be related to https://github.com/slackapi/java-slack-sdk/issues/1468 but that seems to raise a different error due to the size of integers and not unexpected objects...
🔍 I'm linking the same and a few other related issues for reference with similar exceptions shared before:
- https://github.com/slackapi/java-slack-sdk/issues/1426
- https://github.com/slackapi/java-slack-sdk/issues/1468
- https://github.com/slackapi/java-slack-sdk/issues/1450
- https://github.com/slackapi/java-slack-sdk/issues/1454
Edit: Added another issue!
It would be nice if we could configure serialization such that it does not deserialize beyond a certain nested depth.
Our company doesn't really care about message attachments for example.
