Error '{"success":false}' but no other information available

Hi there,

First of all, this project is gorgeous ! Congrats for all your work, and for the effort of providing a hosted version.

But infortunately, I have a problem with the hosted version 😉

When I try to submit my comment, your server gives this response :

Status code : 400 Body : {"success":false}

staticman.yml :

comments:

  allowedFields: ["email", "name", "message"]

  branch: "comments"

  commitMessage: "Add comment to article"

  filename: "entry{@timestamp}"

  format: "yaml"

  generatedFields:
    date:
      type: date
      options:
        format: "timestamp-seconds"

  moderation: true

  name: "deudtens.com"

  path: "source/_comments/{options.slug}"

  requiredFields: ["email", "name", "message"]

  transforms:
    email: md5

Form HTML :

    <form method="POST" action="https://api.staticman.net/v2/entry/oservieres/blog-deudtens/comments/">
      <input name="options[redirect]" type="hidden" value="https://www.deudtens.com">
      <input name="options[slug]" type="hidden" value="{{ page.url }}">
      <label>Votre nom : <input name="fields[name]" type="text"></label>
      <label>Votre E-mail : <input name="fields[email]" type="email"></label>
      <label>Votre message : <textarea name="fields[message]"></textarea></label>

      <button type="submit">Envoyer</button>
    </form>

My blog repo : https://github.com/oservieres/blog-deudtens

I did not deploy the form in production, i’m submitting from my localhost.

I just don’t understand what’s happening, and I have no error message to guide me.

Do not hesitate to ask for more information if needed, Thank you.

Firstly, thanks so much for building staticman. I’m actually getting the same issue on my site as well. It’s running HTTPS (not sure if that makes a difference). I’ve added staticmanpp as a collaborator to my repo.

Here’s the repo: https://github.com/jonathanyeong/personal-site.

staticman.yml:

comments:
  allowedFields: ["name", "email", "url", "message"]
  branch: "master"
  commitMessage: "Add Staticman data"
  filename: "entry{@timestamp}"
  format: "yaml"
  generatedFields:
    date:
      type: date
      options:
        format: "timestamp-seconds"
  moderation: true
  name: "jonathanyeong.com"
  path: "_data/comments/{options.slug}"
  requiredFields: ["name", "email", "message"]
  transforms:
    email: md5

my form (found in _layouts/post.html).

<form method="POST" action="https://api.staticman.net/v2/entry/jonathanyeong/personal-site/master/comments">
  <input name="options[redirect]" type="hidden" value="https://jonathanyeong.com">
  <!-- e.g. "2016-01-02-this-is-a-post" -->
  <input name="options[slug]" type="hidden" value="{{ page.slug }}">
  <label><input name="fields[name]" type="text">Name</label>
  <label><input name="fields[email]" type="email">E-mail</label>
  <label><textarea name="fields[message]"></textarea>Message</label>

  <button type="submit">Go!</button>
</form>

I am also submitting this form on localhost.

I doubt this makes a difference, but here’s what I’ve tried doing:

• Restarting the jekyll server to make sure it picks up the staticman.yml file.
• Changing the action link to: https://api.staticman.net/v2/entry/jonathanyeong/personal-site/master

Any suggestions?

@eduardoboucas Apologies, I ended up removing staticman because it wasn’t working. I went through the setup steps again and I ended up getting it working.

I was still getting the {‘success’: false} issue when I was running this back on my local host. However, when I pushed my changes it all worked on localhost (https://github.com/jonathanyeong/personal-site/pull/25).

I’m not sure if this information will help at all. Thank you for building this app!
