HPE_INVALID_CONSTANT error when running webpagetest

[obihill]

I run the following command

webpagetest test http://plugin.restive.io --key {my_api_key}

And I get the following result:

{
  "error": {
    "bytesParsed": 0,
    "code": "HPE_INVALID_CONSTANT"
  }
}

It doesn't matter what URL I use, I keep getting this error. Is this from my end or an issue with the software?!

Just tried with latest version webpagetest --version and it works fine
for me. Can you confirm your version and also try adding -d to dry-run and
curl the returned url?

I'm using Node version 0.8.19 and I just installed webpagetest via npm yesterday.

I ran it again with the switch you suggested and I got the following result:

{
  "url": "http://www.webpagetest.org/\\runtest.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fplugin.restive.io&k={my_api_key}&f=json"
}

Not sure what's happening but should there be two backslashes before runtest.php?!

Hi, I am getting the same problem.

{
"error": {
"bytesParsed": 0,
"code": "HPE_INVALID_CONSTANT"
}
}

webpagetest test http://naukri.com --key {my_api_key}

I'm getting this problem too

I'm using version 0.2.2

Command i'm running
webpagetest test http://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/

Output
{
"error": {
"bytesParsed": 0,
"code": "HPE_INVALID_CONSTANT"
}
}

webpagetest test http://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ -d
{
"url": "http://www.webpagetest.org/\\runtest.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.g
oogle.com%2Fspeed%2Fpagespeed%2Finsights%2F&f=json"
}

If I go to this url I get the following message:

{"statusCode":400,"statusText":"An error occurred processing your request. Please reload the testing page and try submitting your test request again. (missing API key)"}

Thanks

Hi you have to dry-run the test like :-

Command line :-
webpagetest test http://yourdomain.com -d --key {your_api_key}

if you did not have the API key yet Please email to Patrick Meenan
