rosbridge /rosjs/typeStringFromTopic does not work

I call this service (/rosjs/typeStringFromTopic) with the following code:

var types=[];
con.callService('/rosjs/typeStringFromTopic', '[/mav2/fcu/mag]', function(rsp) {
alert("here");
alert(rsp);
types.push(rsp); });

My topic is not empty but I "here" is never alerted. There is the following error in my rosbridge terminal

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/data/my_ros/rosbridge/bin/rosbridge.py", line 39, in handleFrameHelper call = json.loads(frame)

Thank you for your help :)

It looks like your issue is likely how you're passing the topic argument. ros.js can take proper JSON strings or (in newer versions) pure Javascript objects, which it will convert for you. Unfortunately, your current syntax is somewhat in-between. Either:

 '["/mav2/fcu/mag"]'

or the simpler and much preferable:

  ["/mav2/fcu/mag"]

should work.

Notice how answer.ros.org's highlighting turns the first example fully green because it's a string. The second example is preferred because its harder to mess up. It's just an array containing a single string. Also remember that Javascript has two types of quotes. So:

  "['/mav2/fcu/mag']"

and:

  ['/mav2/fcu/mag']

are also fine.

This example shows reading in all of the currently published topics and displaying their types.
