JsonDecodeError For GenerateRandomBytesRequest

[SpadeA-Tang]

It seems desearialize json is failed. The code is listed below and would you mind giving some feedbacks whether the code is inappropriate?

Err(JsonDecodeError("{\n \"data\": \"re9uM3jHgyBO55Bb5thfEc51X7qdvTFlTmYPDWU07rvSLXwKTXVQIecmyOtmjgrdH0RE+/LZ0XKNtiJKoLbm3y6+D3PWQHcmq6OgguWuQxJ23drOhypxfZdXaN2o1+xz7T31TVPqOnm3zlp8z4wtsR6cVupxgzYb5zguv5EQ73I=\",\n \"dataCrc32c\": \"589474822\"\n}\n", Error("Invalid byte 43, offset 68.", line: 2, column: 184)))

It's a problem with it trying to decode that JSON with data being base64 encoded into binary data, as declared in the datatype.

Its probably related to one of the many issues related to confused URL/Base64 encoding. The problem is that it's unclear how to figure out the kind of encoding just by looking at the API description, and thus far nobody was able to contribute a fix.

Thanks for the reply.

@Byron, how would I go about adding exclusions for certain crates? google_compute1's ShieldedInstanceInitialState and other fields seem to be url-safe base64 rather than standard base64

I see the following code that maps Vec<u8> to standard or url safe base64 in the description. Should I manually change the descriptions of those fields in their respective JSON API definitions?

Are you using the latest version from this Repository? Sometimes the latest code isn't published yet, and I remember some work that was done in this direction so I thought this decoding problem is solved once and for all.
It really looks like the fix wasn't published for all crates, definitely not for compute1.

Should I manually change the descriptions of those fields in their respective JSON API definitions?

No, these would be overwritten next time the API is updated.
