Exasperated - Is it a smartsheet API 2.0 bug, or (more likely) am I going nuts? Using updateRow with Node.js


Been a frustrating day or so :-(

I would be very happy to be told I am going crazy (if you could point out the error of my ways).

I am trying to cycle through a smartsheet (only 900 rows) and automatically indent based on the contents of a column (called marker - in this case the 51st column). If marker is guideline then it is the top level parent, if it's section then it is a child of the guideline and if it is blank then it is a child of the section. Guidelines can have multiple sections and sections can have multiple (blank) children.

My code is still embryonic and far from elegant :-( I just wanted to get it working!!! I will return to tidy it up as soon as it is running. You can see I have tried a few different things.

First the code (and then the error I get is below that).

//Initialise Var
var sheetno=1234567890123456;  //this is the sheet ID 
var colcount=0; 
var chap,sect,rowno;
var rowdetail="nothing";
var row_ids='';
var rowList=[];
var row_ids='';
var rowList=[];
var rowdetail='';
var guiderow='';
var sectrow='';
var optionupdate='';
var newsectline='';
var newguideline='';

// Set queryParameters for `include` and pagination
var options1 = {
      id: sheetno,
  queryParameters: {
      pageSize: 1000,
    includeAll: true
  }
};

    // Load the sheet we are interested in
async function indent() {
    console.log("Starting process.  Please wait...");
    smartsheet.sheets.getSheet(options1)
    .then(async function(sheetInfo) {
        var rowCount=sheetInfo.totalRowCount;  //variable to hold the number of rows
        var totcolcount=sheetInfo.columns.length;  //variable to hold the number of columns
        var colcount=totcolcount-1;  //This accounts for arrays starting at the zero position.
        console.log("row count is ", rowCount, ". Column count is ", totcolcount)
//      console.log(sheetInfo);
        // iterate through rows in the sheet and make sure they are in the right order
        for (var i=0; i < rowCount; i++) {
            rowdetail=sheetInfo.rows[i].id;
            var rowloc=sheetInfo.rows[i].rowNumber;
            rowList[rowloc]=rowdetail;
        }
        // iterate through rows in the sheet
        for (var j=1; j < rowCount; j++) {  //change from 16 to rowCount when running in production
            var options2 = {
                sheetId: Number(sheetno),
                rowId: Number(rowList[j])
            };
            await procrow(options2,j,colcount);
            await sleep(3000);
        }
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
        console.log(error);
    })
}

    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

            .then(async function(row) {

                console.log("j=", j, ", colcount=", colcount, ", Rowid = ", rowid, ", Guideline rowid=", guiderow, ", Section rowid=", sectrow, ", Newguideline=", newguideline, ", Newsectline=", newsectline );

Unhandled rejection (<{"statusCode":404,"errorCode":1006,"me...>, no stack trace)

Notice in the error that the PUT statement does NOT have the trailing / after the word rows in the URL, and yet I use exactly the same construct to build the options up for the query. Conversely the GET statement does and everything works fine. If I try to force in in the options build up with 'id: "/" + rowid' (my variable for the row ID) then it (of course) changes the number to a string and that fails :-(

Any tips/guidance VERY much appreciated!

Solution

  • Hi the api descibes the parameters such as :

    var options = {  sheetId: 2068827774183300,  body: row  };
    

    So, you should send something such as replace with appropriate values :

    optionupdate= {
       sheetId: sheetno,
       body :  [{"id": "rowid", "parentId": "sectrow", "toBottom": "true"}])
    };
