Help with data templating helper

[plusiv]

I have the following Data Bucket with the code vd123:

  {
    "dni": "{{urlParam 'dni'}}",
    "firstName": "{{faker 'person.firstName'}} {{faker 'person.middleName'}}",
    "lastName": "{{faker 'person.lastName'}} {{faker 'person.lastName'}}",
    "photo": "{{faker 'image.people'}}",
    "birthPlace": "Any Place",
    "nationality": "Dominican",
    "birthDate": "{{dateFormat (faker 'date.soon') 'dd/MM/yyyy'}}",
    "sex": "{{faker 'person.sex'}}",
    "ocupation": "{{faker 'person.jobTitle'}}",
    "documentInfo": {
      "expires": "{{dateFormat (faker 'date.soon') 'dd/MM/yyyy'}}",
    }
  }

And I want to reuse some properties in another one by doing:

  {
    "dni": "{{urlParam 'dni'}}",
    "firstName": "{{data 'vd123' 'firstName' }}",
    "lastName": "{{faker 'person.lastName'}} {{faker 'person.lastName'}}",
    "carrier": "{{faker 'company.name'}}",
    "nss": "{{faker 'helpers.fromRegExp' '[0-9]{6}'}}",
  }

However the result is the entire Data Bucket Object in as value of my second Data Bucket's firstName property. It's something like that:

  {
    "dni": "11111111",
    "firstName": "{
    "dni": "{{urlParam 'dni'}}",
    "firstName": "{{faker 'person.firstName'}} {{faker 'person.middleName'}}",
    "lastName": "{{faker 'person.lastName'}} {{faker 'person.lastName'}}",
    "photo": "{{faker 'image.people'}}",
    "birthPlace": "Any Place",
    "nationality": "Dominican",
    "birthDate": "{{dateFormat (faker 'date.soon') 'dd/MM/yyyy'}}",
    "sex": "{{faker 'person.sex'}}",
    "ocupation": "{{faker 'person.jobTitle'}}",
    "documentInfo": {
      "expires": "{{dateFormat (faker 'date.soon') 'dd/MM/yyyy'}}",
    }
  }",
    "lastName": "Kunde Krajcik",
    "carrier": "Parker - Cronin"
    "nss": "384532",
  }

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Data buckets are converted to usable objects when the JSON is valid. I think you have a trailing comma that is not valid in JSON:

  {
    "dni": "{{urlParam 'dni'}}",
    "firstName": "{{faker 'person.firstName'}} {{faker 'person.middleName'}}",
    "lastName": "{{faker 'person.lastName'}} {{faker 'person.lastName'}}",
    "photo": "{{faker 'image.people'}}",
    "birthPlace": "Any Place",
    "nationality": "Dominican",
    "birthDate": "{{dateFormat (faker 'date.soon') 'dd/MM/yyyy'}}",
    "sex": "{{faker 'person.sex'}}",
    "ocupation": "{{faker 'person.jobTitle'}}",
    "documentInfo": {
      "expires": "{{dateFormat (faker 'date.soon') 'dd/MM/yyyy'}}", <--- ⚠️ trailing comma
    }
  }

We should definitely improve the feedback around databuckets generation!

Hi @255kb, after removing the trailing comma the problem persist.

You are right, I was able to reproduce the issue. Data buckets containing a request helper are only generated during the first request referencing them, but if the first bucket is not referenced I guess it will never be generated. It works by removing the {{urlParam 'dni'}} helper from the vd123 bucket.
I've opened an issue.

You're right, without {{urlParam 'dni'}} works perfectly.
