Fix stuck /time fetch, callback threading and body checks in HttpObject - #1261
This PR fixes the problems found in review of the HTTP LiveObjects API that need only code changes. It is stacked on #1259. Commits are grouped by area and each includes its tests, so it reads well commit by commit.
Main fixes
A malformed /time response hung generateObjectIdAsync for good (flagged by Copilot). If /time answered 200 with something unreadable ([], [null], HTML or an empty body), the response handler threw. HttpScheduler only catches AblyException, so the callback never ran, and the shared server-time fetch stayed "in flight": every pending and later async call waited forever. The async fetch now runs as a blocking request on the scheduler and releases its waiters on every path, including any Throwable. The blocking path does the same before rethrowing, so an Error can't leave the state stuck either. Test: "a malformed time response fails waiting generateObjectIdAsync calls and the next call retries", plus a blocking variant.
Async callbacks could run on another caller's thread (flagged by Copilot). An async generateObjectIdAsync call waiting on a blocking call's /time request was called back on that blocking caller's thread. This broke the documented background-thread guarantee. Both outcomes now go back through the scheduler. Test: "an async callback runs on a background thread while a blocking call is fetching the time".
Operations with no body reached the server. A null passed to mapCreate or counterCreate from Java produced an operation with no body, sent as {}. Null initialValue or nonce values were sent as JSON null. Both now fail with 400/40003 before any request, as RSO5b1 requires. A new edge test covers this, including generateObjectIdAsync(null). The RSO5b1/no-body-field-error-0 and RSO4c/missing-create-body-error-0 tests now assert the 40003 instead of being placeholders, and the T-4 entry in deviations.md is corrected to match.
Smaller fixes
Change
Before → After
Test
Malformed leaf
One bad json/bytes value failed the whole get with 50000 → it's logged at error level and left out; the leaf is UNKNOWN and its siblings still decode
"a malformed leaf in a full response decodes as an unknown leaf without failing its siblings"
Map semantics
0.5 or 2^64 decoded as LWW → only "LWW" (any case) or an integral 0 does
"map semantics decode from the name or the integer code, anything else is unknown"
Compact JSON null
getCompact returned null for a JSON null body and for no body → JsonNull for the first, null for the second
"a JSON null compact body is JsonNull, distinct from no body"
Empty objectId
Produced /object/ with a trailing slash → treated as absent, as in ably-js
"get params - an empty objectId targets the channel object"
Float over msgpack
0.1f was sent as 0.10000000149011612 → sent as 0.1, as over JSON
"a Float value is sent as the same number with both protocols"
Immutability
byte[] and JSON values were shared with the caller → copied in and out of PublishObjectData and full-format leaves
"binary and JSON values are copied, so inputs and results stay immutable"
Null map keys, error messages
A null key was sent as JSON null, and messages embedded java.lang.* names → 40003 before sending, with a plain message; a null MapCreate entries map gives a named NPE
"null values are rejected with 40003, also through the async callback"
Javadoc
Public getters and body constructors were undocumented, and getUnrecognizedFields claimed to return an unmodifiable map → documented, and it says it returns a copy
n/a
deviations.md
The typed result shapes of the RestObject specs weren't recorded → new entry for the RSO9c1 encoding, map.* / counter.data.number accessors and the closed semantics enum
n/a
The malformed-leaf fix limits the failure to the bad leaf, as ably-js does. Unlike ably-js, it doesn't expose that leaf's raw value, because HttpObjectData has no accessor for unrecognised fields yet (see the decision on unrecognised fields below).
Test changes
Flaky tests: the mixed blocking/async server-time test no longer sleeps 100 ms; it waits for the request to reach the mock. The concurrent tests now fail if a worker thread throws or doesn't finish.
New coverage:
msgpack publish responses;
skipped map entries;
compact json leaves and empty maps;
addRequestIds on GET and POST;
percent-encoded channel names;
a blocking call during an async /time fetch, and reuse of the stored offset.
awaitCallback: now fails if a callback is invoked twice. It waits 50 ms after the first invocation to check.
Not in this PR
Needs a decision first. These are raised on PR 1259:
Decode failures surface as 500/50000. Changing this needs an agreed error code (ably-common registry).
DefaultHttpObject and HttpObjectServerTime are public in the public types package. Moving them needs a package-layout decision; the repo has no internal-package convention yet.
PR 1259's description still calls the json leaf form an OD4d5 deviation. Spec PR 569 makes it normative; this is the author's text to update, not code.
No new integration test for objectId + path together. It isn't needed: RestObjectTest's RSO5c3, RSO2g1 case already uses HttpObjectGetParams.of(profile.objectId, "nickname") against the sandbox.
Follow-ups (code older than this PR)
PubSubBase.timeImpl reads [0] from the /time response unchecked, so any AblyRest.timeAsync caller loses its callback on a malformed 200 body. ably-js throws ErrorInfo(50000, 500) instead.
HttpScheduler's request runners catch only AblyException, so a RuntimeException from any ResponseHandler escapes without a callback.
HttpRequester.Request.async calls onError on the caller's thread when execute throws. Nothing in this PR triggers it.
./gradlew :core:runUnitTests --tests 'io.ably.pubsub.liveobjects.*': 37 tests in HttpObjectEdgeCasesTest.
./gradlew :core:runUtsIntegrationTests --tests 'io.ably.pubsub.uts.integration.standard.objects.*': 30 tests against the sandbox, over JSON and msgpack.
./gradlew :liveobjects:runLiveObjectsIntegrationTests --tests '*RestObjectRealtimeInteropTest*': 2 tests against the sandbox.
The new tests for the /time hang, the callback thread, map semantics and Float encoding were each confirmed to fail on the code without their fix.
The lint, unit and UTS runs were repeated after the last two commits. The two integration runs were not, because those commits change only one test and one code comment.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
GET requests now handle empty object IDs consistently and distinguish an absent response body from a JSON null value.
Malformed JSON or binary values no longer prevent valid sibling values from being decoded.
Improved reliability of time-fetch callbacks, including failure handling and waiter notification.
Invalid operations and create requests now report clearer errors.
Improvements
Binary and JSON values are copied when read or written, preventing changes to returned values from affecting stored data.
Documentation
Clarified behavior for empty IDs, nullable values, and operation results.
GET handling distinguishes an absent body from JSON null and treats an empty object ID as absent. The codec validates operation data, updates map-semantics decoding and Float encoding, and logs and omits malformed leaf values. Tests cover these cases and related request and wire-format behavior.
Value and operation contracts lib/src/main/java/io/ably/pubsub/liveobjects/http/HttpLiveObject.java, lib/src/main/java/io/ably/pubsub/liveobjects/http/HttpObjectOperation.java, lib/src/main/java/io/ably/pubsub/liveobjects/http/HttpObjectResults.java, lib/src/main/java/io/ably/pubsub/liveobjects/http/PublishObjectData.java, lib/src/test/kotlin/io/ably/pubsub/liveobjects/http/HttpObjectEdgeCasesTest.kt, lib/src/test/kotlin/io/ably/pubsub/uts/deviations.md
Publish data and decoded object values return copies of stored binary and JSON values. Map-create input rejects null entries. Documentation describes operation fields, getter results, and typed result shapes.
Server-time fetching and callbacks lib/src/main/java/io/ably/pubsub/liveobjects/http/DefaultHttpObject.java, lib/src/main/java/io/ably/pubsub/liveobjects/http/HttpObjectServerTime.java, lib/src/test/kotlin/io/ably/pubsub/liveobjects/http/HttpObjectEdgeCasesTest.kt
Server-time fetching uses a scheduled blocking request and notifies waiters on success or failure. Asynchronous object-ID callbacks are dispatched through the HTTP scheduler. Tests cover concurrent callers, malformed responses, and retries.

Mutable numeric values can change after construction, and closing a client during an ID request can leave its callback incomplete. These are bounded risks for merge consideration.

Synchronize on waiter registration before releasing /time.
If the blocking fetch finishes before the scheduler runs the async call, the test can pass using cached time without checking waiter callback threading. Add a barrier that confirms registration before releasing the response, and fail the test if registration times out.

Complete the callback when scheduling is rejected.
If the client closes after the waiter is registered, the server-time submission can fail. The error callback then submits to the same closed executor, so the caller receives no result or error. Ensure the callback completes even when scheduling is rejected.

Fix review findings in HTTP LiveObjects (stacked on AIT-1473/http-liveobjects)
Fix stuck /time fetch, callback threading and body checks in HttpObject
Nov 6, 2026
- Run the async /time fetch as a blocking request on the scheduler and
release the waiters on every path, including any Throwable. A 200
response of [], [null], HTML or an empty body made the /time response
handler throw, so the timeAsync callback never ran and every pending
and later generateObjectIdAsync call hung. The blocking path also
releases the waiters before rethrowing.
- Hand both outcomes of an async waiter back to the scheduler. A waiter
notified by a blocking generateObjectId was called back on that
blocking caller's thread, against the documented background-thread
guarantee.
- Test both with malformed /time responses and a callback-thread check.
- Fail with 400 / 40003 before any request when an operation has no
body (a null passed to mapCreate or counterCreate from Java) or null
initialValue / nonce values, as RSO5b1 requires; these were sent as
{} or JSON null.
- Assert the reachable no-body cases of RSO5b1 and RSO4c, sync and
async, instead of leaving them as placeholders, and correct the T-4
deviation entry to match.
- Reject null mapSet, mapRemove and mapCreate entry keys, name a null
MapCreate entries map, and report an unexpected exception's message
instead of its java.lang toString in 40003 errors.
- Decode a malformed json or bytes leaf value as an UNKNOWN leaf, logged
and left out, instead of failing the whole get with 50000; its
siblings still decode.
- Decode only an integral zero as LWW map semantics; 0.5 or a
BigInteger of 2^64 decoded as LWW through longValue().
- Return JsonNull for a JSON null compact body, keeping null for no
body.
- Treat an empty get objectId as absent, as ably-js does, instead of
producing a trailing slash.
- Encode a Float number over MessagePack through its decimal string, as
JSON writes it: 0.1f was sent as 0.10000000149011612.
- Copy byte[] and JSON values into and out of PublishObjectData and
full-format leaves, so operations and results stay immutable.
- Add the missing Javadoc to the public getters and body constructors
of HttpObjectOperation, PublishObjectData and HttpObjectGenerateIdBody,
and say that getUnrecognizedFields returns a copy.
- Record in deviations.md that the RestObject tests read typed result
accessors, can't assert RSO9c1's encoding and use
ObjectsMapSemantics.UNKNOWN for an unrecognised semantics.
- Make the mixed blocking/async server-time test wait for the /time
request instead of sleeping, and fail the concurrent tests on a thread
error or timeout.
- Cover a msgpack publish response, skipped map entries, compact json
leaves and empty maps, request ids, encoded channel names, and a
blocking call during an async /time fetch plus offset reuse.
- Fail awaitCallback if a callback is invoked twice.
5. **Test impact:** `RSO5b1/multiple-body-fields-error-1` exists under its `@UTS` id with a `// DEVIATION T-4` comment and asserts only that no request was sent. `RSO5b1/no-body-field-error-0` and `RSO4c/missing-create-body-error-0` assert the 400 / 40003 for real, passing the `null` through reflection because Kotlin can't. The other runtime-reachable 40003 case — an unrecognised semantics, `ObjectsMapSemantics.UNKNOWN` — is asserted in `RSO3d1/unrecognized-semantics-error-1` and `RSO4e1a/unrecognized-semantics-error-0`.
6. **Status:** intentional — a typed-SDK adaptation, sanctioned by each spec test's own not-applicable note.
