Error deserializing response after call to create bucket via InfluxDB Java 2.0 client?

Question

Attempting to dynamically create a bucket, I keep receiving the following error.

Error:

Code:

 private fun dynamicallyCreateBucket(
            bucketName: String,
            influxDBClient: InfluxDBClient,
            org: String
    ) {
        val bucket: Bucket = createBucket(
                bucketName = bucketName,
                orgId = org,
                influxDBClient = influxDBClient
        )
    }

    private fun createBucket(
            bucketName: String,
            orgId: String,
            influxDBClient: InfluxDBClient
    ): Bucket =
            PostBucketRequest()
                    .description("Dynamically created bucket")
                    .name(bucketName)
                    .orgID(orgId)
                    .addRetentionRulesItem(BucketRetentionRules().everySeconds(900))
                    .let {
                        influxDBClient.bucketsApi.createBucket(
                                bucketName,
                                BucketRetentionRules().everySeconds(900),
                                orgId
                        )
                    }

Version: implementation("com.influxdb:influxdb-client-java:1.8.0")

Note: I tried implementation("com.influxdb:influxdb-spring:1.8.0") with a slightly different configuration and received the same error . I am able to initialize InfluxDBClient connecting to an existing bucking without any problems.

Answer 1

As pointed out by @sranka I had two issues that needed to be corrected:

1. In my configuration I was adding /api/v2/ to the end of the value for url which was wrong since this value gets added to the request later in the code. This was causing the bucket request to be http://localhost:9999/api/v2/api/v2/buckets instead of http://localhost:9999/api/v2/buckets. Setting url to be http://localhost:9999/ fixed it

2. I thought the orgId in my configuration was suppose to be the name of the Organization that you create via InfluxDB UI. It's not. The orgId of your organization should look something like fe941a3875dd5b68 and it is in the browser URL when you login into InfluxDB UI.
