Values in JSON - coords @ canvas - Selenium IDE & Selblocks

Question

I'm loading data from an external file in Selenium IDE (2.9.1) & SelBlocks (2.1.1) with "forJson" function to interact with canvas - insert an object to exact coordinates. Selenium test works, but it seems like JSON data are not read and object is inserted to random coordinates.

JSON file example:

[
{
    "coords": {
        "x": 400,
        "y": 800
    }
}
]

Selenium test example:

<tr>
    <td>forJson</td>
    <td>testdata.json</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>clickAt</td>
    <td>css=canvas</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>endForJson</td>
    <td></td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

I have also tried "loadJsonVars" or "clickAt" with coords just like an interaction with Google maps - Clicking on Google Maps with Selenium IDE, but no luck.

Thanks in advance for any references or additional questions.

You're referencing the json file, but on your click command there is nothing there to tell the script to use the coordinates from the file. I use something similar and the way I'd have this example would be to have the json file formatted as:

[{x:"400",y:"800"}]

And then the selenium script would be:

<tr>
    <td>forJson</td>
    <td>testdata.json</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>clickAt</td>
    <td>css=canvas</td>
    <td>${x},${y}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>endForJson</td>
    <td></td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
