Underscore symbol raises a parser error

[DrMavrodi]

Hello!

First of all thank you for your Webhook Bot! It works perfect and was easy to setup!

The parser receives an error when the alert text contains an Underscore symbol [here]--> _ <--[here].

Example:

{
 "msg":"Test_alert", "key":"fuVAtKh2gm"
}

Result:

0|tvalertbot_m  | [X] 2021-08-13 13:59:38 Error:
0|tvalertbot_m  | > Can't parse entities: can't find end of the entity starting at byte offset 4

How can I fix this?

Thanks,

Hi there,

Try escaping it:

{
 "msg":"Test\_alert", "key":"fuVAtKh2gm"
}

Unfortunately, escaping won't help us in the next case:

We get the stock ticker and the asset ticker using variables: {{exchange}}:{{ticker}}

Example:
{ "msg":"{{exchange}}:{{ticker}}", "key":"fuVAtKh2gm" }

If you set an alert here (XETR:DHER), it will throw an error when the alert is triggered because the stock ticker itself contains the Underscore symbol (XETR_DLY:DHER). :(

Gotcha. I just updated the code. Please pull it and let me know if it fixed the issue.

Thank you very much for your feedback!

I used the command now:
git clone https://github.com/fabston/TradingView-Webhook-Bot.git
But the bug is still active. :(

Or have I installed a past version of the Webhook Bot using the command above now?

You could’ve also just typed git pull inside your working dir.

I’ll have to test it on my end then. Was hoping the commit would’ve fixed the issue. Not sure when I’ll find time for that though.
