Access Object.prototype.<method_name> method

I am working on a nodeJS based project where I am using node-zendesk package. This library provides functions to extract list of articles. But the method is in form of Object.prototype.list, I have no idea how to access this method.
node-zendesk package is inside node_modules.
The method I need to access is at node-zendesk/lib/client/helpcenter/articles.js
var util = require('util'),
Client = require('../client').Client
var Articles = exports.Articles = function(options) {
this.jsonAPINames = ['articles', 'article'];
this.sideLoadMap = [{
field: 'author_id',
name: 'user',
dataset: 'users'
},
{
field: 'section_id',
name: 'section',
dataset: 'sections'
},
{
field: 'category_id',
name: 'category',
dataset: 'categories'
}
];
Client.call(this, options);
};
util.inherits(Articles, Client);
Articles.prototype.list = function(cb) {
this.requestAll('GET', ['articles'], cb); //all
};
I need to access Articles.prototype.list. What I have tried is:
var zendesk = require('node-zendesk');
var client = zendesk.createClient({
username: < my_username > ,
token: < my_token > ,
remoteUri: < my_remoteUri > ,
helpcenter: true
});
client.articles.list((err, req, result) => {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
return;
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(result)); //gets the first page
});
The error is something like this:
{ Error: Zendesk Error (404): Item not found
> at checkRequestResponse (/<project_path>/node_modules/node-zendesk/lib/client/client.js:259:13)

Help me to access Articles.prototype.list method.

It seems you're accessing the articles' list method correctly. You're probably just getting a network error due to the 404 Item Not Found.

Storing global variable in a separate file for Protractor Tests

I am trying to create a separate inventory file for Protractor Test where I can store all the reusable variable to be used by different test scrips. The sample Variable list is called Vars.js and the specs should import the variables from this file and consume those. However, this fails as shown below. Can this approach actually be used for storing reusable variables? Can I actually create a separate inventory file for protractor tests outside of conf.js?
Vars.js has the following content :
"use strict";
exports.config = {
function() {
global.loginMain = 'https://mytestsite.com/auth/login';
global.TestText = 'I am the test Text';
}
};
and the spec file is as follows:
require ('./Vars.js')
require('..\\waitAbsent.js')
require("../node_modules/jasmine-expect/index.js")
describe('Vairables Import Test', function() {
console.log(global.loginMain);
console.log(global.TestText);
browser.get(global.loginMain);
it('Text Validation', function(){
expect(browser.getCurrentUrl()).toEqual('https://mytestsite.com/auth/login')
})
});

The below approach should work for you.
conf.js
exports.config = {
framework: 'jasmine',
seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
specs: ['app.js'],
onPrepare: async() => {
global.globalVariables = require('./globalVariables');
}
};
app.js
describe('desribe the test', () => {
it('the it', async () => {
console.log(globalVariables.loginMain);
console.log(globalVariables.TestText);
})
})
globalVariables.js
module.exports = {
loginMain :'https://mytestsite.com/auth/login',
TestText : 'I am the test Text'
}

serverless framework with json parsing error

I use serverless framework with javascript.
my code is:
import { App } from '../lib/App';
export const hello = (event, context, cb) => {
context.callbackWaitsForEmptyEventLoop = false;
// This resolved promise would be be in the application library code in a real-world application and provide the results
App.handleFirst(event) // eslint-disable-line promise/catch-or-return
.then(result => ({
statusCode: 200,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=utf-8'
},
body: JSON.stringify(result)
}))
.asCallback(cb);
return;};

console.info(myDemoResult);
return BbPromise.resolve(myDemoResult);
}

why json first element error? how Can I see the json string?

After seeing your serverless.yml file, I believe that the issue may well be in the webpack.config.js file. It may be worth trying changing your custom section, and putting quotes around: 'webpack.config.js'. Like:
custom:
webpack:
webpackConfig: 'webpack.config.js'
includeModules: true
I think that the issue is in your App.js class here:
const myDemoResult = {
message: App.THE_MESSAGE,
from: 'First lambda ',
event
};
You have a invalid JSON structure; where the object event is being passed, it is not being given a key/name. You probably want something like:
const myDemoResult = {
message: App.THE_MESSAGE,
from: 'First lambda ',
event: event
};
Also your constant THE_MESSAGE is not inside your App class. You should move it inside the App classes {..} like this:
export class App {
static get THE_MESSAGE() { return 'Hello from the webpack 4 sample'; }

Meteor crashed after I did a git init and created a new branch

I'm working on a meteor project and it's my first time with Meteor.
Everything was working fine until the moment I decided to do a "git init" into the directory I was working in, followed by a "git checkout -b gh-pages". So that I could post a repo and a live demo here to S.O. because I had a completely different question altogether.
After fiddling around with what used to be easy (creating gh-pages) that process no longer works for me, not sure if GitHub changed their process for creating pages, but for some reason it's not working for me, even after following these instructions: https://help.github.com/articles/creating-project-pages-manually/
After creating a another branch and attempting to push the code I have to a gh-pages i suddenly started getting these errors.
Sorry this is long:
=> Started proxy.
=> Started MongoDB.

Here is the only code I have so far:

if(Meteor.isClient){
Template.leaderboard.helpers({
'player' : function(){
return PlayersList.find( {}, {sort: {score: -1, name: 1} });
},
'count' : function() {
return PlayersList.find().count();
},
'selectedClass' : function() {
var playerId = this._id;
var selectedPlayer = Session.get('selectedPlayer');
if(playerId === selectedPlayer) {
return "selected";
}
},
'showSelectedPlayer' : function() {
var selectedPlayer = Session.get('selectedPlayer');
return PlayersList.findOne(selectedPlayer);
}
});
Template.leaderboard.events({
'click .player' : function() {
var playerId = this._id;
Session.set('selectedPlayer', playerId);
},
'click .increment' : function() {
var selectedPlayer = Session.get('selectedPlayer');
PlayersList.update(selectedPlayer, {$inc: {score: 5} });
},
'click .decrement' : function() {
var selectedPlayer = Session.get('selectedPlayer');
PlayersList.update(selectedPlayer, {$inc: {score: -5} });
},
'click .remove' : function() {
var selectedPlayer = Session.get('selectedPlayer');
alert('Are you sure you want to delete this fool?');
PlayersList.remove(selectedPlayer);
}
});
Template.addPlayerForm.events({
'submit form' : function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var playerNameVar = event.target.playerName.value;
var playerScoreVar = event.target.playerScore.value;
PlayersList.insert({
name: playerNameVar,
score: playerScoreVar
});
var formAddPlayer = document.getElementById('formAddPlayer');
formAddPlayer.reset();
}
});
}
if(Meteor.isServer){
}
Thanks.

I had an issue like this before. What fixed it for me was just running git clean -dfx
I don't really see anything wrong with your code that should throw that error. It may just be git being strange.

The error A method named '/xxx/insert' is already defined is a bit obscure, but it means you have this bit of code running on your server twice.
PlayersList = new Mongo.Collection('players');
Given that you have it once at the top of your file you should look for it elsewhere in your directory.
I'm not sure what git did specifically but the error is a result of a collection being defined twice so somewhere in the directory there must be a duplicate chunk of code.

Object #<Object> has no method 'User'

everyone. I have a problem with my code and Meteor 0.9.4
Here is my code:
Server/publications.js
Meteor.publish('getUsers', function () {
var loggedInUser = Meteor.User();
if (Roles.userIsInRole(loggedInUser, ['admin'])) {
return Meteor.users.find({}, {fields: {
_id: 1,
emails: 1,
roles: 1
}});
}
this.stop();
return;
});
Lib/router.js
Router.map(function() {
this.route('dashboardUsers', {
layoutTemplate: 'dashboardLayout',
path: "/dashboard/users",
waitOn: function() {
return Meteor.subscribe('getUsers');
}
});
});
When I run meteor app, I have the following error:
=> App running at: http://localhost:3000/

If you have a look at the docs for Meteor.user, you'll see it works everywhere except publish functions. You need to do:
var loggedInUser = Meteor.users.findOne(this.userId);

The error your getting is because of the upper-case 'u' in Meteor.User it should be Meteor.user.
However, as David Weldon pointed out you'll need to use Meteor.users.findOne(this.userId) inside of publish functions.
For anyone else running into the error Object #<Object> has no method 'user' when trying to access Meteor.user() be sure you have the accounts-base package.
