Unable to set nested parameters through the neo4j browser 3.0.5

[peresbruno]

Description

When trying to set the following parameters in Neo4j Browser 3.0.5

:params {"uidLeft": "asdf1", "uidRight": "asdf2", "type": "KNOWS", props:{uid:"rel1"}}

I'm getting this error:

Could not parse input. Usage: :param "x": 2. SyntaxError: Expected ",", "}" or key but "{" found.

Reproduce Steps

1. Open Neo4j-Browser 3.0.5
2. Run the following command:
   :params {"uidLeft": "asdf1", "uidRight": "asdf2", "type": "KNOWS", props:{uid:"rel1"}}

Expected Behavior

Parameters should be set as specified in the above command.

Current Behavior

Parameters are not set and an error message is shown.

Your Environment

software name	version
OS	macOS Sierra 10.12.6
Web browser	Google Chrome 60.0.3112.113 64 bits
Neo4j Browser	3.0.5
Neo4j	3.2.2 and 3.2.3

Additional Information

• Running Neo4j into Docker containers
• Works fine in Neo4j 3.2.1 and Neo4j Browser 3.0.4
• Works in Neo4j Browser 3.0.5 when outer parenthesis are removed: :params "uidLeft": "asdf1", "uidRight": "asdf2", "type": "KNOWS", props:{uid:"rel1"}
• BUT the above command (without outer parenthesis) not work in Neo4j Browser 3.0.4 (parameter are not set without error message)
• Issue from this SO question

Thanks for the report. It sure sounds like a bug somewhere.

Still broken as of Neo4j Browser version 3.1.4.

Same problem with version 3.0.11

And as of 3.3.3

[oskarhane]

Yes, we have a card for this and will get to it. The workaround is to skip the outer curly brackets.

:params "uidLeft": "asdf1", "uidRight": "asdf2", "type": "KNOWS", props:{uid:"rel1"}
