I have a function which by design should:
Create new directory
Copy docs from specified dir to newly created one
Set text to that copied docs
And I implemented it in such way:
function copyDocsAndSetText(fromDirId, toDirId) {
var toDir = DriveApp.openFolderById(toDirId);
var cwd = toDir.createFolder("New folder");
var fromDir = DriveApp.openFolderById(fromDirId);
var originalFiles = fromDir.getFiles();
while (originalFiles.hasNext()) {
var file = originalFiles.next();
file.makeCopy(cwd);
}
var copiedFiles = cwd.getFiles();
while (copiedFiles.hasNext()) {
var file = copiedFiles.next();
var doc = DocumentApp.openById(file.getId());
doc.getBody().setText("It works!");
}
}
I should see "It works!" as a content of each file inside newly created directory but I don't. What I'm doing wrong? Or it is some kind of bug?
You have done a small mistake, replace openFolderById with getFolderById
var toDir = DriveApp.getFolderById(toDirId);
var fromDir = DriveApp.getFolderById(fromDirId);

I'm trying to create a basic script on a 12-hour timer trigger that loops through each of my Google Calendars by their ICAL URL, and downloads the ICAL for a folder on my Google Drive (for backup purposes). It throws this error
"No item with the given ID could be found, or you do not have permission to access it. (line 23, file "Code")" (Line #23 is var folder... )
Running the script does download and save the ICAL file on the first run through the loop (and if I manually pass in each unique ICAL URL one at a time), but the error then terminates the loop. Seeing as how I've authorized access already and am the owner of everything here, I'm not sure what else I need.
var calendarsToSave = [
"https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/inXXXXXXX.com/privateXXXX/basic.ics",
"https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/XXXXX.com_XXXXXXup.calendar.google.com/private-XXXXXXX/basic.ics"
];
var folder = '123xxxxxxxxv789'; // my gdrive folder
function downloadFile(calendarURL,folder) {
var fileName = "";
var fileSize = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < calendarsToSave.length; i++) {
var calendarURL = calendarsToSave[i];
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(calendarURL, {muteHttpExceptions: true});
var rc = response.getResponseCode();
if (rc == 200) {
var fileBlob = response.getBlob()
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folder); // << returns a permissions error thus terminating the for loop
var file = folder.createFile(fileBlob);
fileName = file.getName();
fileSize = file.getSize();
}
var fileInfo = { "rc":rc, "fileName":fileName, "fileSize":fileSize };
return fileInfo;
} // end for loop
}
Updated: You are also re-initializing a variable that already exists from the parameters and as a global variable so we can remove the parameter if you want to keep the global variable.
We can also move the place where you get the Google Folder object. It stays the same every time so we don't need to retrieve it again.
var calendarsToSave = [
"https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/inXXXXXXX.com/privateXXXX/basic.ics",
"https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/XXXXX.com_XXXXXXup.calendar.google.com/private-XXXXXXX/basic.ics"
];
var folder = '123xxxxxxxxv789'; // my gdrive folder
function downloadFile(calendarURL) {
var fileName = "";
var fileSize = 0;
var gfolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folder);
for (var i = 0; i < calendarsToSave.length; i++) {
var calendarURL = calendarsToSave[i];
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(calendarURL, {muteHttpExceptions: true});
var rc = response.getResponseCode();
if (rc == 200) {
var fileBlob = response.getBlob()
var file = gfolder.createFile(fileBlob);
fileName = file.getName();
fileSize = file.getSize();
}
var fileInfo = { "rc":rc, "fileName":fileName, "fileSize":fileSize };
return fileInfo;
} // end for loop
}
Let see where that gets us.
Your "folder" variable is outside the function, causing the data to be inaccessible to the "downloadFile" function.
Google apps coding seems to require variables to be in a function to be defined. I would recommend moving both "calendarsToSave" and "folder" to the inside of "downloadFile"
Here is an example that will return your error:
var folder = '1HSFBPfPIsXWvFEb_AalFYalkPwrOAyxD';
function myFunction() {
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folder);
var name = folder.getName();
Logger.log(name);
}
And here is one that will return the file name:
function myFunction() {
var folder = '1HSFBPfPIsXWvFEb_AalFYalkPwrOAyxD';
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folder);
var name = folder.getName();
Logger.log(name);
}
I'm using this code to get a blob passed to a function:
function submit(e){
var arrayBlob = e.parameter.arrayBlob;
Logger.log("arrayBlob #2 = " + arrayBlob.getDataAsString());
This is the error I get:
Execution failed: TypeError: Can not find getDataAsString function in
the Blob object.'arrayBlob'
How do I get the string value of this blob?
Here is my code:
function showList(folderID) {
var folder = DocsList.getFolderById(folderID);
var files = folder.getFiles();
var arrayList = [];
for (var file in files) {
file = files[file];
var thesesName = file.getName();
var thesesId = file.getId();
var thesesDoc = DocumentApp.openById(thesesId);
for (var child = 0; child < thesesDoc.getNumChildren(); child++){
var thesesFirstParagraph = thesesDoc.getChild(child);
var thesesType = thesesFirstParagraph.getText();
if (thesesType != ''){
var newArray = [thesesName, thesesType, thesesId];
arrayList.push(newArray);
break;
}
}
}
arrayList.sort();
var result = userProperties.getProperty('savedArray');
arrayList = JSON.stringify(arrayList);
var arrayBlob = Utilities.newBlob(arrayList);
Logger.log("arrayBlob #1 = " + arrayBlob.getDataAsString()); // Here it`s OK
var mydoc = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var app = UiApp.createApplication().setWidth(550).setHeight(450);
var panel = app.createVerticalPanel()
.setId('panel');
panel.add(app.createHidden('arrayBlob', arrayBlob));
var label = app.createLabel("Selecione os itens desejados").setStyleAttribute("fontSize", 18);
app.add(label);
arrayList = JSON.parse(arrayList);
panel.add(app.createHidden('checkbox_total', arrayList.length));
for(var i = 0; i < arrayList.length; i++){
var checkbox = app.createCheckBox().setName('checkbox_isChecked_'+i).setText(arrayList[i][0]);
Logger.log("arrayList[i][0] = " + arrayList[i][0]);
Logger.log("arrayList[i] ====> " + arrayList[i]);
panel.add(checkbox);
}
var handler = app.createServerHandler('submit').addCallbackElement(panel);
panel.add(app.createButton('Submit', handler));
var scroll = app.createScrollPanel().setPixelSize(500, 400);
scroll.add(panel);
app.add(scroll);
mydoc.show(app);
}
function submit(e){
var arrayBlob = e.parameter.arrayBlob;
Logger.log("arrayBlob #2 = " + arrayBlob.getDataAsString());
// Continues...
}
I'd like the solution worked with more than one user simultaneous using the script.
Update:
Add a global variable OUTSIDE of any function:
var arrayBlob = Utilities.newBlob("dummy data");
function showList(folderID) {
Code here ....
};
Check that the code has access to the blob:
function submit(e){
Logger.log("arrayBlob.getDataAsString(): " + arrayBlob.getDataAsString());
//More Code . . .
}
This solution eliminates the need of embedding a hidden element in the dialog box with a value of the blob.
You won't need this line:
panel.add(app.createHidden('arrayBlob', arrayBlob));
There are other changes I'd make to the code, but I simply want to show the main issue.
Old Info:
In the function showList(), the method getDataAsString() works on the blob named arrayBlob.
Logger.log("arrayBlob #1 = " + arrayBlob.getDataAsString()); // Here it`s OK
In the function, submit(), the same method does not work.
var arrayBlob = e.parameter.arrayBlob;
In the function showList(), the code is assigning a newBlob to the variable arrayBlob. So arrayBlob is available to have the getDataAsString() method used on it.
var arrayBlob = Utilities.newBlob(arrayList);
In the function, submit(), you are trying to pass the arrayBlob blob variable into the submit() function, and reference it with e.parameter.
If you put a Logger.log() statement in the submit() function.
function submit(e){
Logger.log('e: ' + e);
Logger.log('e.parameter` + e.parameter);
var arrayBlob = e.parameter.arrayBlob;
Those Logger.log statements should show something in them. If there is nothing in e.parameter, then there is nothing for the .getDataAsString() to work on.
It looks like you are putting the arrayBlob into a hidden panel.
panel.add(app.createHidden('arrayBlob', arrayBlob));
But when the object is getting passed to the submit(e) function, the arrayBlob might not be getting put into that object.
So, what I'm saying is, the:
Logger.log("arrayBlob #2 = " + arrayBlob.getDataAsString());
Line may be perfectly good, but there is no arrayBlob there to work on. This hasn't fixed your problem, but do you think I'm understanding part of what is going on?
I'm not sure why you are using Blob's here at all, you could simply work with JSON instead.
However, if you have a reason to use Blobs, you can pass the JSON data through your form and create the Blob in your handler, as the modified code below does:
function showList(folderID) {
var folder = DocsList.getFolderById(folderID);
var files = folder.getFiles();
var arrayList = [];
for (var file in files) {
file = files[file];
var thesesName = file.getName();
var thesesId = file.getId();
var thesesDoc = DocumentApp.openById(thesesId);
for (var child = 0; child < thesesDoc.getNumChildren(); child++){
var thesesFirstParagraph = thesesDoc.getChild(child);
var thesesType = thesesFirstParagraph.getText();
if (thesesType != ''){
var newArray = [thesesName, thesesType, thesesId];
arrayList.push(newArray);
break;
}
}
}
arrayList.sort();
var result = UserProperties.getProperty('savedArray');
//get JSON data pass through form.
var arrayBlob = JSON.stringify(arrayList);
var mydoc = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var app = UiApp.createApplication().setWidth(550).setHeight(450);
var panel = app.createVerticalPanel()
.setId('panel');
//include JSON Data in the form.
panel.add(app.createHidden('arrayBlob', arrayBlob));
var label = app.createLabel("Selecione os itens desejados").setStyleAttribute("fontSize", 18);
app.add(label);
panel.add(app.createHidden('checkbox_total', arrayList.length));
for(var i = 0; i < arrayList.length; i++){
var checkbox = app.createCheckBox().setName('checkbox_isChecked_'+i).setText(arrayList[i][0]);
Logger.log("arrayList[i][0] = " + arrayList[i][0]);
Logger.log("arrayList[i] ====> " + arrayList[i]);
panel.add(checkbox);
}
var handler = app.createServerHandler('submit').addCallbackElement(panel);
panel.add(app.createButton('Submit', handler));
var scroll = app.createScrollPanel().setPixelSize(500, 400);
scroll.add(panel);
app.add(scroll);
mydoc.show(app);
}
function submit(e){
var arrayBlob = Utilities.newBlob(e.parameter.arrayBlob);
Logger.log("arrayBlob #2 = " + arrayBlob.getDataAsString());
// Continues...
}
In the method you were using originally, the Blob itself was never included in the form, you were simply passing the string "Blob" around.
This is because the function createHidden(name, value); expects two strings as parameters, so it calls ".toString()" on the arrayBlob object, which returns the string "Blob".
This is my pretty straight forward firefox plugin main.js. I run it and get 'loadContextGoodies is not defined', what is going wrong here?
const {Cc, Ci, Cu, Cr} = require("chrome");
var events = require("sdk/system/events");
var utils = require("sdk/window/utils");
var { MatchPattern } = require("sdk/util/match-pattern");
var pattern = new MatchPattern(/^https?:\/\/example\.com.*/);
function listener(event) {
var channel = event.subject.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIHttpChannel);
var url = event.subject.URI.spec;
if (isToBeRedirected(url)) {
channel.cancel(Cr.NS_BINDING_ABORTED);
var goodies = loadContextGoodies(channel);
var domWin = goodies.aDOMWindow;
var gBrowser = goodies.gBrowser;
var browser = goodies.browser;
var htmlWindow = goodies.contentWindow;
browser.loadURI("about:blank");
}
}
exports.main = function() {
events.on("http-on-modify-request", listener);
}
function isToBeRedirected(url) {
return pattern.test(url)
}
edit: I was totally overlooking the part of the source I used for the redirecting bit which contained the declaration of the function. I didnt notice it was a scrollbox.. Thanks for the answer though.
According to that answer : https://stackoverflow.com/a/22429478/1170900
You need to declare loadContextGoodies
I am trying to retrieve list data using JavaScript. But something goes wrong. I am trying to debug the code but I am not able to understand that thing.
Following is the JavaScript Code:
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(PopulateDepartments, "sp.js");
var _ctx = null;
var _web = null;
var _allItems = null;
function PopulateDepartments() {
debugger;
_ctx = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
_web = _ctx.get_web();
var list = _web.get_lists().getByTitle("ServiceType");
var query = new SP.CamlQuery();
query.set_viewXml("<View><Query><OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Title'/></OrderBy></Query></View>");
_allItems = list.getItems(query);
_ctx.load(_allItems, 'Include(Title,ID)');
debugger;
_ctx.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.PopulateDepartmentSuccess),
Function.createDelegate(this, this.PopulateDepartmentFaild));
}
function PopulateDepartmentSuccess() {
var ddlEntry = this.document.getElementById("ddl1");
ddlEntry.options.length = 0;
var listEnumerator = _allItems.getEnumerator();
while (listEnumerator.moveNext()) {
var currentItem = listEnumerator.get_current();
ddlEntry.options[ddlEntry.options.length] = new Option(currentItem.get_item("Title"), currentItem.get_item("ID"));
}
}
function PopulateDepartmentFaild() {
alert("Something went Wrong....!!");
}
Whenever I run this code it shows me alert box.
Please Help..
There are times when this doesn't takes the correct reference.Check if it works with removing this reference .so Instead of this
_ctx.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.PopulateDepartmentSuccess),
Function.createDelegate(this, this.PopulateDepartmentFaild));
try using something like this
_ctx.executeQueryAsync(PopulateDepartmentSuccess,PopulateDepartmentFaild);

Can any one please tell me that we use ReadLine() to read a particular line from a file (.txt). Now I want to read the total content of the file (not only the first line). For that what method I need to use. I googled a lot but I cant get the solution.
My Code is given below:
var ForReading = 1;
var TristateUseDefault = -2;
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var newFile = fso.OpenTextFile(sFileName, ForReading, true, TristateUseDefault);
var importTXT = newFile.ReadLine();
This is returning the first line of the .txt file by importTXT variable. Now I want to get the total file content in importTXT.
Any suggestion will be very much helpful for me.
You use the ReadAll method:
var importTXT = newFile.ReadAll();
(Don't forget to close the stream when you are done with it.)
Here: ReadAll (msdn)
I found the example given very poor - for example it did not CLOSE the file, so I added this to the msdn page:
function ReadAllTextFile(filename)
{
var ForReading = 1;
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
// Open the file for input.
var f = fso.OpenTextFile(filename, ForReading);
// Read from the file.
var text = (f.AtEndOfStream)?"":f.ReadAll(); // this is where it is read
f.Close();
return text;
}
var importTXT = ReadAllTextFile(sFileName);
