Unable to get any response other than "invalid method" [#884708]

Probably not a bug, though, so I didn't want to reopen an old issue. Probably just me not getting something.

The error is: { "#error": true, "#data": "Invalid method " }

What I've tried is many variations on the following two themes:

$.post('http://my.site/services/json', {"method":"views.get","view_name":"my_view"});

$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'http://my.site/services/json',
data: {"method": "views.get", "view_name":"my_view"},
dataType: "json",
});

I'm just trying this in Firebug at the moment, trying to get a response back so I can build from there. I've noticed many other people reporting the same error, but I've tried both 6.x-2.0-alpha2 and 6.x-2.x-dev, both Services 6.x-2.2, and I had gathered both of those versions included a patch to fix this problem. So I have to figure I'm doing something very basic wrong, which is likely as I'm having to learn javascript on the fly here. Can anyone show me my error here?

I found I had the same issues until I enabled the additional service modules, System Service, Views Service etc

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply! I had views service enabled, but none of the others. Unfortunately, I'm getting the same result with all services enabled. I feel like I must just be doing something wrong in my post syntax, just not sure what.

Try:

...
data: {method: '"views.get"', ...
...

The php json_decode function is used so you have to wrap the arguments in a single - double quotes (i.e. '"arg"').

Hi,
I am getting the same error .. I am new to json and webservices. I installed the webservices module. I enabled all the services eg. node, system, user, echo. I am trying to access node.get from drupal cloud android app and I always get this error.
{ "#error": true, "#data": "Invalid method " }.
Even when I browse the service module on my webserver and click on json server I get this error. Can you please guide me with the issue.
