THE SITUATION:

I am trying to display preroll ads videos on my app.

I have two different adTagUrl.
One works fine and the preroll ad is displayed.
The other doesn't, and I get an empty VAST response instead.

I thought there may be something wrong in the code, so I recreate a basic small app taking the code from the google IMA repo example.

The results is the same. One work and the other doesn't.

THE ERROR:

errorCode: 1009 errorMessage: "The VAST response document is empty." type: "adLoadError"

VAST INSPECTOR:

If I check the VAST ad response using the Google Video Suite Inspector, both the adTagUrl work.

THE CODE:

The code is very straightforward, taken from the google IMA example repo:

var adsRequest = new google.ima.AdsRequest(); adsRequest.adTagUrl = 'MY_TAG_URL'; adsRequest.linearAdSlotWidth = 640; adsRequest.linearAdSlotHeight = 400; adsRequest.nonLinearAdSlotWidth = 640; adsRequest.nonLinearAdSlotHeight = 150; adsLoader.requestAds(adsRequest);

THE QUESTION:

Why am I getting that error?

How it's possible that the adTagUrl works fine in the Vast Inspector, but it doesn't work when I request it from the code?

THE SITUATION:

In my Vue app I need to show ads using the Google IMA sdk.
However it seems that the AdDisplayContainer it's stuck in an endless update loop.

JSFIDDLE:

I have recreated the issue on JsFiddle with a bare minimum example. You can check the error in the console.

As you can see there isn't much going on:

  • I import the google IMA sdk
  • I have basic markup for the video and ad container
  • I setup the adDisplayContainer
  • I have added a watcher to detect the issue

THE CODE:

this.adDisplayContainer = new google.ima.AdDisplayContainer(         this.$refs.adContainer, this.videoContent);

THE ERROR:

It seems that it adDisplayContainer gets updated in a loop:

Error in nextTick: "RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded" <br> RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

In a production-like environment I get a similar error message:

InternalError: too much recursion

THE QUESTION:

Do you know why is this happening and how to fix it?
