Question How to use custom configType when fetching values?

Hello,

I've been trying to use the ConfigManager.FetchConfigs<T, T2, T3> (string configType, T userAttributes, T2 appAttributes, T3 filterAttributes) method with a custom configType, but the response returned is always an empty json.

The context is that I want to split the config file in two, the default part with the default "settings" configType that gets overwritten every time I fetch, and a custom part with custom configType that stays the same for a long time until I need to update it and call fetch again. The default part works well and retrieves the values every time, but the custom configType only returns an empty json.

This is how the file ends up (I marked where values are missing):

Spoiler: RemoteConfigCache.json

{
"settings": {
"requestOrigin": 2,
"status": 2,
"body": {
"configs": {
"settings": {
"av": "1.2.0",
"cv": 2
}
},
"metadata": {
"configAssignmentHash": "***",
"assignmentId": "***",
"environmentId": "***"
}
},
"headers": {
"Date": "Mon, 28 Feb 2022 21:58:05 GMT",
"Content-Type": "application/json;charset=utf-8",
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
"Content-Length": "234",
"Server": "Jetty(9.4.z-SNAPSHOT)",
"Via": "1.1 google"
}
},
"generalConfig": {
"requestOrigin": 2,
"status": 2,
"body": {
"configs": {
"generalConfig": { /* HERE THERE SHOULD BE SOME KEY VALUE PAIRS */}
},
"metadata": {}
},
"headers": {
"Date": "Mon, 28 Feb 2022 21:13:59 GMT",
"Content-Type": "application/json;charset=utf-8",
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
"Content-Length": "46",
"Server": "Jetty(9.4.z-SNAPSHOT)",
"Via": "1.1 google"
}
}
}

If I call fetch with default configType, I get the json in question, so it's not from that.

I have searched for more info about this configType but there is almost no mention of it anywhere. Am I missing something, should I set the config type somewhere in the dashboard(though I searched everywhere and it's nothing), or am I not supposed to use the configType?

Thanks,
Radu

 

I am using remote config 2.1.2 with Unity 2018.4.36, the documentation can be found here : https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...pl_FetchConfigs__3_System_String___0___1___2_

Essentially I am calling it like this (code here is a bit simplified):

Code (CSharp):

1. public struct UserAttributes { }
2. public struct AppAttributes { }  
3.  
4. private static FilterAttributes configJsonFilter = new FilterAttributes()
5.     { key = new string[] { "cj" } };
6.  
7. RuntimeConfig generalConfig = ConfigManager.GetConfig("generalConfig");
8. generalConfig.FetchCompleted -= GeneralCallback;//this is done in case I call the method twice, to not add the callback twice
9. generalConfig.FetchCompleted += GeneralCallback;
10.  
11. ConfigManager.FetchConfigs("generalConfig", new UserAttributes(), new UserAttributes(), configJsonFilter);

Thanks!
