What could this mean:
kotlinx.serialization.json.internal.JsonDecodingException: Unexpected JSON token at offset 46098: Expected quotation mark '"', but had '"' instead at path: " and " is the same, no?

If you have Bash, you can execute

<<<'your text here' hexdump

to print the exact character codes

[dave08]

😮
» <<<'""' hexdump
0000000 2222 000a
0000003

[dave08]

Moshi is sending that from the client side --- and it's not happening for all our requests...

[CLOVIS]

Well at least now you have a tool to check… good luck finding who's emitting it 😅

[dave08]

Thanks!

[CLOVIS]

🤔 wait, 0x22 is the regular code for quotes

[dave08]

000a is a line feed... but it looks like a double quote...

[dave08]

and 2222: ∢

[CLOVIS]

I believe it prints the hex codes, so it's saying the input is Ox22 Ox22, not dec 2222

[CLOVIS]

you can use

<<<'your text' hexdump -C

for a more precise output

[dave08]

<<<'""' hexdump -c
0000000 " " \n
0000003

[CLOVIS]

it's an uppercase C, lowercase c is something else

[dave08]

<<<'""' hexdump -C
00000000 22 22 0a |"".|
00000003

[CLOVIS]

🤔 so they are indeed the same

[dave08]

Maybe the line feed is the problem?

[dave08]

But the error is very unclear...
