How can I solve data range error into google sheets with appscript

I have a google app script that allows me to retrieve data via a public API and a fetch. So far so good. I initialized a table in order to push the data into it, then I call a function that will send the data to a column of my google sheets table. My first function fills the array with a "while" loop, when the length of the array reaches 12, my "pushDatasToSheet" function launches but I have an error, the console tells me that my data range is at 1 and therefore does not correspond not in range of my selected cells. What is funny is that my table does indeed indicate a length of 12 when executing my function sending data to the table and when I modify the range of my cells by putting only one , the console shows me 12 for my data range. I can't find where my mistake is coming from. thank you in advance for your help.
Here an image of the console error:
error code in app script console
And my code:
const signsList = ["aries", "taurus", "gemini", "cancer", "leo", "virgo", "libra", "scorpio", "sagittarius", "capricorn", "aquarius", "pisces"];
var SHEET_NAME = "horoscope";
const options = {
'method': 'post',
};
var rowDescription = [];
// Get horoscopes from API
function doPost(e) {
signsList.forEach(sign => {
while (rowDescription.length < 12) {
var url = 'https://aztro.sameerkumar.website/?sign=' + sign + '&day=today';
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
var json = response.getContentText();
var data = JSON.parse(json);
rowDescription.push(data.description);
}
pushDatasToSheet();
})
}
function pushDatasToSheet() {
Logger.log(rowDescription.length);
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(SHEET_NAME);
var descriptionColumn = sheet.getRange('B2:B13');
descriptionColumn.setValues([rowDescription]);
};

Problem solved 😅
In case another person with the same problem happen, the array have to be a 2D array. And i have changed my while loop for a if statement.
Here the correction snippet:
const signsList = ["aries", "taurus", "gemini", "cancer", "leo", "virgo", "libra", "scorpio", "sagittarius", "capricorn", "aquarius", "pisces"];
var SHEET_NAME = "horoscope";
const options = {
'method': 'post',
};
var rowDescription = [];
// Get horoscopes from API
function doPost(e) {
if (rowDescription.length < 12) {
signsList.forEach(sign => {
var url = 'https://aztro.sameerkumar.website/?sign=' + sign + '&day=today';
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
var json = response.getContentText();
var data = JSON.parse(json);
rowDescription.push([data.description]);
})
}
pushDatasToSheet();
}
function pushDatasToSheet() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(SHEET_NAME);
sheet.getRange('B2:B13').setValues(rowDescription);
};

Syntax Error with simple google app script api call

I had a syntax error with a simple code line of google sheet app scripts, I am not experienced in app scripts but this is pretty straight forward syntax from any programming language. Kindly show me if I'm missing something?
I tried changing header into 'header' or "header" but syntax error was on it not recognizing the format
function loadInformation(){
//Set up service and check access
var firebaseService = getFirebaseService();
if (firebaseService.hasAccess()) {
//Set up google sheet and header row
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var Sheet = ss.getSheetByName("<YOUR SHEETNAME>");
Sheet.clearContents();
Sheet.appendRow([<YOUR SHEET HEADERS>]);
//Set up reference
var databaseURL = "https://xxxxxx.firebaseio.com/";
var ref = "xxxxxx";
var requestURL = databaseURL+ref+".json";
//API Call
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(requestURL, {
headers: {
Authorization: 'Bearer ' + firebaseService.getAccessToken()
},
method: 'get'
});
//Parse JSON
var data = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
//Loop through JSON and append row
for (item in data){
var newRow = [item,];
Sheet.appendRow(newRow);
}
}
} else {
//Show authorization URL to user
var authorizationUrl = firebaseService.getAuthorizationUrl();
showDialog(authorizationUrl);
}
}
Error Result :
Syntax error. (line 20, file "loadInformation") Dismiss

Your "else" is outside the function. Delete the " } " before the "else".
Also, if this line is left like this it will throw another error. Be sure to have the headers actually there:
Sheet.appendRow([<YOUR SHEET HEADERS>]);
like this:
Sheet.appendRow(["a", "b", "c"]);

Like Mark said, your 'else' is outside the function.
And if you change this
Sheet.appendRow([<YOUR SHEET HEADERS>]);
to
Sheet.appendRow(["<YOUR SHEET HEADERS>"]);
the syntax error should go away.

MailChimp GAS - invalid resource: blank email

I'm writing a script that takes google sheet data and uploads my mailchimp subscriber data, where the edited cell values are sent over as updated merge tags. The original code came from here. I've got the script running successfully, accept for this one error:
"Invalid Resource","status":400,"detail":"Blank email address"
I understand the error according to the documentation in the mailchimp api documentation, but I'm not sure why it's not recognizing the subscriber data from the script:
var emHash = md5(em.toLowerCase()); //this is pulled from my md5 function
var payload = JSON.stringify({
"status_if_new": "subscribed",
"email_address": em,
"merge_fields": {
"LEAD": lead,
//rest of vars following same syntax
}
});
var options = {
"headers" : headers,
"payload": payload,
"method" : "put",
"muteHttpExceptions" : true
};
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://us15.api.mailchimp.com/3.0' + '/lists/' + 'xxxxxxx' + '/members/' + emHash,options);
Logger.log(response);
}
Last is the function triggered by editing so that changed values get sent over via the function above
function onEdit(e) {
var activeSheet = e.source.getActiveSheet();
var range = e.range;
var rowedited = range.getRowIndex();
if (activeSheet.getName() !== "ATTENDANCE"){
return;
Logger.log("Oops :(");
}
else {
var values = sheet.getRange(rowedited, 1, 1, 13).getValues()[0];
var em = values[2];
var lead = values[1];
//remaining vars omitted for brevity
sendToMailChimp_(em,lead...[etc.]);
}
Any thoughts?

I figured it out - I pulled an amateur move and had the columns attributed to the wrong array element.... So yes, I started at 1 and not 0
facepalm
It is now working!

Setting setRequestBody for Rest web services using Post method

Hi I'm trying to create a rest response using post method, I want to dynamically pass the variables instead of hard coding,But where i fail is,when I'm trying to to send an array as a parameter to the Rest web service using post method(example array ["CN=XXX_XX,OU=XXXXX,OU=1_XXXX XXXXity Groups,DC=XXXX,DC=local"]) and I know that there is a better way to do that Please find my code sample.This is the method that gives me a appropriate result.
First Method:(Works)
`
try {
var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('SailPoint_IdM', 'post');
var txt = "{\r\n\t\"workflowArgs\":\r\n\t{\r\n\t\"identityName\":\"SiamR\",\r\n\t\"appName\":\"Active Directory\",\r\n\t\"listEntitlements\":[\"CN=ER_CxxxK,OU=xxxxx,OU=1_xxxxxx Security xxx,DC=xxxx,DC=local\"],\r\n\t\"operation\":\"Add\",\r\n\t\"ticketNumber\":\"RITM1234567\"\r\n\t}\r\n}";
r.setRequestBody(txt);
var response = r.execute();
var ResponseBody = response.getBody();
var HTTPCode = response.getStatusCode();
gs.log(ResponseBody);
gs.log(HTTPCode);
} catch (ex) {
var message = ex.getMessage();
}
output:
Script: {"attributes":{"requestResult":{"status":"Success"}},"complete":false,"errors":null,"failure":false,"metaData":null,"requestID":"2c988d8c5bd47cf7015bebfb64cf01e6","retry":false,"retryWait":0,"status":null,"success":false,"warnings":null}
Script: 200
2n Method (Does not Work):
try {
var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('SailPoint_IdM', 'post');
r.setStringParameter('"listEntitlements"', '["CN=Exxx_xxxK,OU=xxxxion,OU=1_xxxxx Security xxxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxxx"]');
r.setStringParameter('"identityName"', '"SiarmR"');
r.setStringParameter('"appName"', '"Active Directory"');
r.setStringParameter('"ticketNumber"', '"RITM1234567"');
r.setStringParameter('operation', '"Add"');
//override authentication profile
//authentication type ='basic'/ 'oauth2'
//r.setAuthentication(authentication type, profile name);
var response = r.execute();
var responseBody = response.getBody();
var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();
gs.log(responseBody );
}
catch(ex) {
var message = ex.getMessage();
}
output:
Script: {"attributes":{"requestResult":{"errors":["An unexpected error occurred: sailpoint.tools.GeneralException: The application script threw an exception: java.lang.NullPointerException: Null Pointer in Method Invocation BSF info: script at line: 0 column: columnNo"],"status":"FAIL","GroupStatus":null,"AppStatus":null}},"complete":false,"errors":["Status : failed\nAn unexpected error occurred: sailpoint.tools.GeneralException: The application script threw an exception: java.lang.NullPointerException: Null Pointer in Method Invocation BSF info: script at line: 0 column: columnNo\n"],"failure":false,"metaData":null,"requestID":null,"retry":false,"retryWait":0,"status":null,"success":false,"warnings":null}

Im facing issue with this parameter as im trying to pass this as aray paramenter '["CN=Exxx_xxxK,OU=xxxxion,OU=1_xxxxx Security xxxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxxx"]'
Please suggest a way to implement this and to pass all the variables dynamically if suggesting first method

Below is one of my function, to handle dynamic parameters in either appear in request endpoint (url), headers or body;
For eg: parameter p
var p = {abc: 'def'};
and outbuond rest settings:
rest url = https://xxxx.sss.com/api/showme?name=${abc}
rest headers name = custom-header; value = ${abc}
rest body = {name: "${abc}"}
so it will replace all ${abc} to 'def'
_.isNullOrEmpty - check is obj, string or array is null or empty;
_.loop - loop an obj or array, pass in function(nm/i, val) {}
_.isArray - to check if is array
_.str - convert anything to string
_.rpl - replace all string A to B
restParameters: function (restRequest, obj, endpoint) {
var _ = this;
if ((_.isNullOrEmpty(restRequest)) || (_.isNullOrEmpty(obj))) return;
if (_.isNullOrEmpty(endpoint)) endpoint = restRequest.getEndpoint();
var body = restRequest.getRequestBody();
var headers = restRequest.getRequestHeaders();
_.loop(obj, function(nm, val) {
if (_.isArray(val)) {
val = (_.isNullOrEmpty(val)) ? '[]' : JSON.stringify(val);
} else val = _.str(val);
//for my case my array pass in as string become: "[\"1\", \"2\"]"
//comment below if pass in as object
if (val.contains('"')) val = _.rpl(val, '"', '\\"');
restRequest.setStringParameterNoEscape(nm, val);
var sch = '${' + nm + '}';
endpoint = _.rpl(endpoint, sch, val);
body = _.rpl(body, sch, val);
_.loop(headers, function (hn, hv) {
headers[hn] = _.rpl(hv, sch, val);
});
}, true);
restRequest.setEndpoint(endpoint);
restRequest.setRequestBody(body);
_.loop(headers, function (hn, hv) { restRequest.setRequestHeader(hn, hv); });
}

ServiceNow UI Page GlideAjax

I created a form using UI Page and am trying to have some fields autopopulated onChange. I have a client script that works for the most part, but the issue arises when certain fields need to be dot-walked in order to be autopopulated. I've read that dot-walking will not work in client scripts for scoped applications and that a GlideAjax code will need to be used instead. I'm not familiar with GlideAjax and Script Includes, can someone help me with transitioning my code?
My current client script looks like this:
function beneficiary_1(){
var usr = g_user.userID;
var related = $('family_member_1').value;
var rec = new GlideRecord('hr_beneficiary');
rec.addQuery('employee',usr);
rec.addQuery('sys_id',related);
rec.query(dataReturned);
}
function dataReturned(rec){
//autopopulate the beneficiary fields pending on the user selection
if(rec.next()) {
$('fm1_ssn').value = rec.ssn;
$('fm1_address').value = rec.beneficiary_contact.address;
$('fm1_email').value = rec.beneficiary_contact.email;
$('fm1_phone').value = rec.beneficiary_contact.mobile_phone;
var dob = rec.date_of_birth;
var arr = dob.split("-");
var date = arr[1] + "/"+ arr[2] + "/" + arr[0] ;
$('fm1_date_of_birth').value = date;
}
}
fm1_address, fm1_email, and fm1_phone do not auto populate because the value is dot walking from the HR_Beneficiary table to the HR_Emergency_Contact table.
How can I transform the above code to GlideAjax format?

I haven't tested this code so you may need to debug it, but hopefully gets you on the right track. However there are a couple of steps for this.
Create a script include that pull the data and send a response to an ajax call.
Call this script include from a client script using GlideAjax.
Handle the AJAX response and populate the form.
This is part of the client script in #2
A couple of good websites to look at for this
GlideAjax documentation for reference
Returning multiple values with GlideAjax
1. Script Include - Here you will create your method to pull the data and respond to an ajax call.
This script include object has the following details
Name: BeneficiaryContact
Parateters:
sysparm_my_userid - user ID of the employee
sysparm_my_relativeid - relative sys_id
Make certain to check "Client callable" in the script include options.
var BeneficiaryContact = Class.create();
BeneficiaryContact.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
getContact : function() {
// parameters
var userID = this.getParameter('sysparm_my_userid');
var relativeID = this.getParameter('sysparm_my_relativeid');
// query
var rec = new GlideRecord('hr_beneficiary');
rec.addQuery('employee', userID);
rec.addQuery('sys_id', relativeID);
rec.query();
// build object
var obj = {};
obj.has_value = rec.hasNext(); // set if a record was found
// populate object
if(rec.next()) {
obj.ssn = rec.ssn;
obj.date_of_birth = rec.date_of_birth.toString();
obj.address = rec.beneficiary_contact.address.toString();
obj.email = rec.beneficiary_contact.email.toString();
obj.mobile_phone = rec.beneficiary_contact.mobile_phone.toString();
}
// encode to json
var json = new JSON();
var data = json.encode(obj);
return data;
},
type : "BeneficiaryContact"
});
2. Client Script - Here you will call BeneficiaryContact from #1 with a client script
function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
return;
}
var usr = g_user.userID;
var related = $('family_member_1').value;
var ga = new GlideAjax('BeneficiaryContact'); // call the object
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getContact'); // call the function
ga.addParam('sysparm_my_userid', usr); // pass in userID
ga.addParam('sysparm_my_relativeid', related); // pass in relative sys_id
ga.getXML(populateBeneficiary);
}
3. Handle AJAX response - Deal with the response from #2
This is part of your client script
Here I put in the answer.has_value check as an example, but you may want to remove that until this works and you're done debugging.
function populateBeneficiary(response) {
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
answer = answer.evalJSON(); // convert json in to an object
// check if a value was found
if (answer.has_value) {
var dob = answer.date_of_birth;
var arr = dob.split("-");
var date = arr[1] + "/"+ arr[2] + "/" + arr[0];
$('fm1_ssn').value = answer.ssn;
$('fm1_address').value = answer.address;
$('fm1_email').value = answer.email;
$('fm1_phone').value = answer.mobile_phone;
$('fm1_date_of_birth').value = date;
}
else {
g_form.addErrorMessage('A beneficiary was not found.');
}
}
