Patient search via REST API: exception and no results

1

I have installed version 2.12 of the reference application. Then I created a new patient via the web app. When inspecting the MySql database, I can see the patient, person and patient_identifier created. The latter is of type ‘OpenMRS ID’ and has value ‘10000X’. I can also see the patient’s name in patient_name table.

Then I tried to search for the patient via the REST API, but got no results when searching on that identifier or name.

Search by identifier

I used both the Swagger UI and Postman to do a GET:

http://localhost:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/patient?identifier=10000X

I always get response: {"results":[]}

Search by name

I also tried searching by name, same problem: no results, e.g.:

GET http://localhost:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/patient?q=kim

Exception in log

The searches generate this exception in the server log: “No converter found for return value of type: class org.openmrs.module.webservices.rest.SimpleObject”

Here is the full stack-trace on pastebin.

@cornelmasson could you search with GET http://localhost:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/patient?q=kim&v=default&limit=1 and also ensure kim is the patient name in the DB with 10000X

I tried that before and still no results. I’ve searched with all values of v (ref, default, full, etc.), different limits, etc.

The patient exists in the db with that name. Below are the screenshots of the MySql table rows:

person_name

patient_identifier.

@cornelmasson could you cross check with your server endpoint.

i have just tested out a similar end point https://demo.openmrs.org/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/patient?q=abd&v=default&limit=1 on the demo server and it works fine
