How to show actual URL called

[DJDaveMark]

How can I log the actual URL the o.js client is calling?

I have a non trivial GET request (multiple $expand, $select, $filter, $orderby etc.) which returns an error from the odata API.
When I constructed the URL with Postman, it worked fine, but in code, what should be the same thing, returns the following error which doesn't make any sense:

{
    "error": {
        "code": null,
        "message": "The types 'Edm.Boolean' and 'Edm.DateTimeOffset' are not compatible."
    }
}

I tested constructing the URL myself and passing it to the o.js client, and it works as expected.

using dev tools is not an option for you? I guess you are using node.js sever to server?

Maybe you can simply add a log to the node_modules/o.js source code:
https://unpkg.com/browse/o.js@1.3.2/dist/cjs/o.js

this.url.href logging on line 80 should help.

I found out that the error is because of spaces being replaced with plus symbols:
update_date ge 2023-12-31T23:59:59.000Z

becomes:
update_date+ge+2023-12-31T23%3A59%3A59.000Z

which looks like a perfectly fine URL, but OData allows query like syntax so + is a reserved character.
The spaces need to be percent encoded:

update_date%20ge%202023-12-31T23%3A59%3A59.000Z

OData Version 4.0 Part 2: URL Conventions
https://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.0/os/part2-url-conventions/odata-v4.0-os-part2-url-conventions.html

Example 28: entity count in a $filter expression. Note that the spaces around gt are for readability of the example only; in real URLs they must be percent-encoded as %20.

Sounds like: #129

Can you try the version 2.0.0-rc1. I guess it should be fixed there... I actually wanted to do a new release on this but missed time management ;)

Just finished testing. Everything works great with 2.0.0-rc1.

I successfully processed 900K objects from a Denodo OData API, and the code is clean thanks to o.js 😃

Since version 2.0.0-rc1 was first published back in May 2022 (~1.5 years ago), why not just release it? If there were bugs, they should have been reported by now.

yeah, as said... time management... but I just released version 2.0.0 5h ago 🥳
