VAST_EMPTY_RESPONSE not defined on HTML5 IMA SDK

[Philip Bulley]

Hi,

The following property doesn't appear to be present on the HTML5 IMA SDK at http://imasdk.googleapis.com/js/sdkloader/ima3.js:

google.ima.AdError.ErrorCode.VAST_EMPTY_RESPONSE

The SDK will correctly provide an error code value of 1009 when it finds an empty vast response, it just seems that the constant hasn't been defined.

I only have the following:

1. ADSLOT_NOT_VISIBLE: -1
2. COMPANION_AD_LOADING_FAILED: -1
3. FAILED_TO_REQUEST_ADS: 1005
4. INVALID_ARGUMENTS: 1101
5. OVERLAY_AD_LOADING_FAILED: -1
6. OVERLAY_AD_PLAYING_FAILED: 500
7. REQUIRED_LISTENERS_NOT_ADDED: 900
8. UNKNOWN_AD_RESPONSE: 1010
9. UNKNOWN_ERROR: 900
10. VAST_ASSET_MISMATCH: 403
11. VAST_ASSET_NOT_FOUND: 1007
12. VAST_LINEAR_ASSET_MISMATCH: 403
13. VAST_LOAD_TIMEOUT: 301
14. VAST_MALFORMED_RESPONSE: -1
15. VAST_MEDIA_ERROR: -1
16. VAST_MEDIA_LOAD_TIMEOUT: 402
17. VAST_NONLINEAR_ASSET_MISMATCH: 503
18. VAST_NO_ADS_AFTER_WRAPPER: 303
19. VAST_SCHEMA_VALIDATION_ERROR: 101
20. VAST_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS: 302
21. VAST_TRAFFICKING_ERROR: 200
22. VAST_UNEXPECTED_LINEARITY: 201
23. VAST_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION: 102
24. VIDEO_ELEMENT_REQUIRED: -1
25. VIDEO_ELEMENT_USED: -1
26. VIDEO_PLAY_ERROR: 400

Thanks,

Philip

Hi Philip,

To clarify, the ima3.js isn't the entire SDK.  The SDK also loads https://imasdk.googleapis.com/js/core/bridge3.110.0_en.html.  You can find the error code 1009 in there.

Let us know if you have additional questions,

Hi Vu,

Would you consider adding the missing constant? If you punch the following into the JS Console:

> google.ima.AdError.ErrorCode.VAST_LOAD_TIMEOUT
301

> google.ima.AdError.ErrorCode.VAST_EMPTY_RESPONSE
undefined

I think most devs would expect to see 1009 returned instead of undefined. The lack of this constant means you can’t check for equality as the docs would imply.

google.ima.AdError.getErrorCode() === google.ima.AdError.ErrorCode.VAST_EMPTY_RESPONSE; // This won’t return true when empty vast is encountered

Thanks,

Philip
