Question on usage of DRF, CoreJSon and CoreApi

[Marc Chakiachvili]

Hi all,

I experience some strange thing, after looking alone for a while, I must
have missed something important.

here is my question:
I use some Viewset with DRF:

class ServiceViewSet(viewsets.ReadOnlyModelViewSet):
"""
API entry point to Services (Retrieve, job submission)
"""
permission_classes = (ServiceAccessPermission,)
serializer_class = ServiceSerializer
parser_classes = (MultiPartParser, FormParser)
lookup_field = 'api_name'
lookup_url_kwarg = 'service_app_name'

def get_queryset(self):
""" retrieve available services for current request user """
return Service.objects.get_services(user=self.request.user)

def list(self, request, **kwargs):
""" List all available services """
serializer = ServiceSerializer(self.get_queryset(), many=True, context={'request': request})
return Response(serializer.data)

def retrieve(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
""" Retrieve Service details"""
service_tool = get_object_or_404(self.get_queryset(), api_name=kwargs.get('service_app_name'))
serializer = ServiceSerializer(service_tool, context={'request': request})
return Response(serializer.data)



When using CoreJson (AutoSchema), and coreapi cli

def list(self):
print(self.base_url + "schema")
services = self.client.get(self.base_url + "schema")
return self.client.action(services, ["services", "list"])


basically the response with coreJson is

schema: {
list()
}
services: {
submissions: {
jobs: {
read(service_app_name, submission_app_name)
create(service_app_name, submission_app_name, [version],
[short_description], [title], [email_to], [params])
}
submission_form(service_app_name, submission_app_name)
}
list()
read(service_app_name)
form(service_app_name)
jobs(service_app_name)
submission(service_app_name, submission_app_name)
}
...

When using the code, I have a response saying that data are not formatted
as expected....
raise ParseError('Top level node should be a document or error.')
coreapi.exceptions.ParseError: Top level node should be a document or error.

Any idea ? Is this because I use a serializer.data instead of list of
object ? but the serializer ,is set to return a list.

any help will be much appreciate !

Thanks a lot for any help !
