 8/19/2016 11:12 AM PowerManagement ERROR: Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[FOG.Modules.PowerManagement.Task]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List<T>) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object.
Path 'tasks.1'.

Found out exactly what the issue was. It’s because of the damn WOL tasking son of a.

Sorry it was so hard to replicate/troubleshoot.

It is now fixed in RC-9 thanks for reporting.

Server issue, @Tom-Elliott

@Wayne-Workman I can confirm that this happens on Windows 7 Enterprise as well.

I am running the same client and server version. The server OS is Ubuntu 16.04.

I did some testing last night and found that, after suspecting this was a php version issue with how it interprets json data, that PHP 5.6 and PHP 7 appear to be displaying the json properly.

I hope today we can remote and see exactly what’s happening.

Just to help clarify, basically it was filtering the array out. Because there was only two tasks, and one of them was invalid, it was not defining the tasks as an array.
