Internal Server Error When running Testing Rig

Anvil Q&A
1

What I’m trying to do:
Figure out what Internal server error: 4054aff6e078 means when running my testing rig. It’s a way that I can run unit tests before launching my startup form, but I’m getting this strange error when trying to run the test:

anvil.server.call(('assert_is_positive_int', 1.1))

I get the error: Error: Internal server error: 4054aff6e078 which is not helpful at all.

However, I do not get that error if I only run this test:

anvil.server.call('assert_is_positive_int', -1)

What I’ve tried and what’s not working:
Searching the Forums for Internal Server Error. I saw a feature request that asked for more information when getting an Internal Server Error, but no follow up on it.

Any help is appreciated.

this may sounds crazy but (without looking at your code) is it something to do with the fact that your function appears to assert if it is a positive integer yet in fact you’re sending a float?

anvil.server.call(('assert_is_positive_int', 1.1))

Just realized that there are double parens, but it still doesn’t help that the server message was not helpful at all.

Something like this would be more helpful:

TypeError: function_name must be str, not tuple
