How to get child Snapshots inside snapshots on Google Cloud functions (Firebase)?

I'm trying to get some for Loops running inside a google cloud functions everytime I delete my /users node.
This is the code I'm using
exports.deleteUserAssets = functions.database.ref('/users/{userId}').onWrite((change, context) => {
const beforeData = change.before.val();
const afterData = change.after.val();
const userBuildings = Object.keys(beforeData.isAdmin); // get the buildings of the user stored in the user/userId/isAdmin node .. so far so good
const userId = beforeData.userIDforCloudFunctions; // I'm getting this from a /users/userid/userIDforCloudFucntions node ...so far so good (i've been logging it to confirm)
// making sure it was a delete operation ... so far so good
if (afterData !== null) {
return 0;
}
else {
// on each building
for (var i = 0; i < userBuildings.length; i++) {
let eachBuilding = [userBuildings[i]]
// HERE IS WERE THE PROBLEM IS: Trying to delete all depts + rooms + doors
admin.database().ref('/buildings/' + eachBuilding)
.child("hasDepts")
.once("value")
.then(function(snapshot) { // This is where it goes south – snapshot is returning null
snapshot.forEach(function(childSnapshot) {
var deptKeyString = childSnapshot.key; // will try to get the keys of the departments stored under this space
var deptsOnNode = admin.database().ref('/depts/' + deptKeyString);
deptsOnNode.remove(); // and use the keys to delete each of the depts on depts
});
});
admin.database().ref('/buildings/' + eachBuilding).set({}); // this is working
admin.database().ref('/buildingsUserUid/' + userId + '/' + eachBuilding).remove(); // this is working
}
}
return 0;
});
The snapshot of admin.database().ref('/buildings/' + eachBuilding).child("hasDepts") is returning null.
How can I get to it? Besides admin.database().ref() I've tried to reach it with firebase.database().ref() which is the command/object i use to get this running on frontend functions. I've also tried functions.database() with no result.

Taking in consideration what Doug Stevenson mentioned in his second comment:
exports.deleteUserAssets = functions.database.ref('/users/{userId}').onDelete((change, context, event) => {
const beforeData = change.before.val(); // data before the write (data of all the doors child nodes)
const afterData = change.after.val(); // data before the write (data of all the doors child nodes)
const userBuildings = Object.keys(beforeData.isAdmin); // get the buildings of the user
const userId = beforeData.userIDforCloudFunctions;
// make sure user was deleted
if (afterData !== null) {
return 0;
}
else {
// on each building
for (var i = 0; i < userBuildings.length; i++) {
let eachBuilding = [userBuildings[i]]
// Need to RETURN the whole chain of promises
return admin.database().ref('/buildings/' + eachBuilding)
.child("hasDepts")
.once("value")
.then(function(snapshot) {
console.log(snapshot.val()) // this now works
snapshot.forEach(function(childSnapshot) {
console.log(childSnapshot.val()) // this works as well
var deptKeyString = childSnapshot.key; // get the keys of the departments stored under this space
var deptsOnNode = admin.database().ref('/depts/' + deptKeyString);
// and you can keep on going deeper if you return promises
return deptsOnNode
.child('hasRooms')
.once('value')
.then(function(grandchildSnapshot){
console.log(grandchildSnapshot.val())
grandchildSnapshot.forEach(function(grandGrandchildSnapshot){
var roomKeyString = grandGrandchildSnapshot.key;
var roomsOnDepts = admin.database().ref('/rooms/' + roomKeyString);
admin.database().ref('/roomOwners/' + userId + '/' + roomKeyString).remove();
// and return again here...
return roomsOnDepts
.child('hasDoors')
.once('value')
.then(function(grandgrandGrandchildSnapshot){
grandgrandGrandchildSnapshot.forEach(function(grandgrandGrandchildSnapshot){
var doorKeyString = grandgrandGrandchildSnapshot.key;
var doorsOnRooms = admin.database().ref('/doors/' + doorKeyString);
doorsOnRooms.remove();
let clipOwners = admin.database().ref('/clipOwners/' + doorKeyString);
clipOwners.remove();
})
roomsOnDepts.remove();
})
})
deptsOnNode.remove(); // use the keys to delete the depts on depts main Node
})
});
admin.database().ref('/buildings/' + eachBuilding).set({});
admin.database().ref('/buildingsUserUid/' + userId + '/' + eachBuilding).remove();
});
}
}
return 0;

Why Won't This Firebase Callable Function Return A Value?

I have a callable function that should return a value, but the only thing ever returned is null. Below is the current version of the function. I have also tried having a return on the first promise (the original once call), and at the end in another then returning the GUID. It actually returned data in that case, but it returned immediately and the GUID was empty.
How can I accomplish my goal and still return the GUID? I don't know when the function is called if I will use a new GUID that I generate, or one that already exists in the database.
There is a similar question here: Receiving returned data from firebase callable functions , but in that case it was because he never returned a promise from the function. I am returning a promise on all code paths. Unless I have to return the initial promise from the once call? In which case, how can I return the GUID when I don't know it yet?
I am also trying to throw an error in a couple of places and the error shows up in the logs for the function, but is never sent to the client that called the function.
I am going off of the examples here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/callable
Sorry for the code bomb.
Calling the function:
var newGame = firebase.functions().httpsCallable('findCreateGame');
newGame({}).then(function(result) {
// Read result of the Cloud Function.
//var sGameID = result.data.guid;
console.log(result);
}).catch(function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
Function:
exports.findCreateGame = functions.https.onCall((data, context) => {
console.log("findCurrentGame Called.")
/**

The documentation for callable functions explains:
To return data after an asynchronous operation, return a promise. The
data returned by the promise is sent back to the client.
You have many asynchronous operations that must be chained together. A return needs to be added to each of these statements (as shown):
return userref.once("value", function(data) {...
return admin.database().ref('games').orderByChild(uid).once('value', function(data) {...
return queueref.transaction(function(currentGUID) {...
return admin.database().ref('games/' + sGUID).once('value', function(data) {...

Which headers do I have to pass on an JavaScript S3 AWS request using signature v4 and assumed role credentials?

I'm trying to make a REST connection to Amazon S3 and I'm struggling to implement the signature V4 process. I know, Amazon also provides a JavasScript an sdk, but I need to get it to work by myself.
To test my code, I'm using the AWS testsuite and my code successfully returns the expected results. However, all my real life attempts fail because of signature does not match error.
The issue for me is, the examples don't include any headers except host and date which is kind of straightforward. I'm having to pass the "full monty" including access tokens and I'm sure there is a problem with the headers.
Here is what I'm doing on click of a button:
function simpleS3Scenario(my_storage) {
return new RSVP.Queue()
.push(function () {
return my_storage.allDocs();
})
.push(function (my_alldocs_response) {
console.log("initial ALLDOCS")
console.log(my_alldocs_response);
})
...
};
allDocs will eventually run into this:
S3Storage.prototype.buildQuery = function (param, options) {
var context = this,
url = this._base_url,
url_path = this._bucket + "/",
headers,
requestText;
return new RSVP.Queue()
.push(function () {
return SigV4_custom.makeSignedRequest(
"GET",
url + url_path,
'',
{"max-key": 100, "prefix": "sample_folder"},
{},
context._region,
"s3",
"AWS4-HMAC-SHA256",
context._secret_access_key,
context._access_key,
context._session_token
);
})
.push(function (e) {
console.log("YUPI");
console.log(e);
})
...
which enters my request signature handler, which is based on this (not working with Signature v4) Amazon example | code: sigv4.js:

So when I run the Amazon samples with just two headers through this, I get correct signature and authorization header at the end. I believe I'm doing something wrong with the headers, especially which headers should go into the signature, but I can't find any good help online and am stuck on this for a few days now.
Question:
Maybe someone has an idea from looking at how I'm handling the headers, why my requests to AWS fail due to non-matching signature?
THANKS!
Edit:
I have used this Amazon Example page for deriving signatures. If I run the sample inputs through my createSignatureAndSign method, I can produce the same outputs. So my signature is correct an secret are correct.

Update JSON values with associated key

I am trying to collect the unique json data, I mean if the key exists the update its value. But not succeed to update the value of existing key.
var fpr_data = [{"rfr_id":"7","user_id":"5","fp_id":"10","raw_id":"3","raw_qty":"20.00","raw_wastage":"2","raw_name":"Buttons"},
{"rfr_id":"9","user_id":"5","fp_id":"10","raw_id":"4","raw_qty":"500.00","raw_wastage":"0","raw_name":"Yarn"},
{"rfr_id":"8","user_id":"5","fp_id":"10","raw_id":"5","raw_qty":"2.00","raw_wastage":"1","raw_name":"Needle"},
{"rfr_id":"7","user_id":"5","fp_id":"10","raw_id":"3","raw_qty":"20.00","raw_wastage":"2","raw_name":"Buttons"}];
var qty = 2, coll={}, _qty=0.00,_wastage=0.00;
// Filter and modify JSON data
$.each(fpr_data, function(i, data) {
_qty = data.raw_qty * qty;
_wastage = data.raw_wastage * qty;
// Next time add on existing keys
if( coll[data.raw_id] == data.raw_id ) {
var q = coll[data.raw_id].qty + _qty;
var w = coll[data.raw_id].wastage + _wastage;
coll[data.raw_id] = {"qty":q, "wastage":w};
}
else {
coll[data.raw_id] = {"qty":_qty, "wastage":_wastage};
}
});
console.log(coll);
In fpr_data there is raw_id that i want to collect unique ids and if the raw_id found in object then update its qty and wastage with raw_qty and raw_wastage. I got Unique JSON data but quantity and wastage are not getting update. What wrong i have done? You can find the same codes in fiddle and check the result in console.
Expected: The value of qty in 3 should be 80
JSFIDDLE

Below condition will not give you correct comparison, when object already exists in array.
if( coll[data.raw_id] == data.raw_id ) {
I think you should just do:
if(coll[data.raw_id]) {
If I understand you correctly try this example
if(coll[data.raw_id]) {
var q = coll[data.raw_id].qty + _qty;
var w = coll[data.raw_id].wastage + _wastage;
coll[data.raw_id] = {"qty":q, "wastage":w};
}
else {
coll[data.raw_id] = {"qty":_qty, "wastage":_wastage};
}

You use jQuery, so enjoy the jQuery.extend() function :
var fpr_data = [{"rfr_id":"7","user_id":"5","fp_id":"10","raw_id":"3","raw_qty":"20.00","raw_wastage":"2","raw_name":"Buttons"},{"rfr_id":"9","user_id":"5","fp_id":"10","raw_id":"4","raw_qty":"500.00","raw_wastage":"0","raw_name":"Yarn"},{"rfr_id":"8","user_id":"5","fp_id":"10","raw_id":"5","raw_qty":"2.00","raw_wastage":"1","raw_name":"Needle"}, {"rfr_id":"7","user_id":"5","fp_id":"10","raw_id":"3","raw_qty":"20.00","raw_wastage":"2","raw_name":"Buttons"}];
console.log(fpr_data);
var qty = 2, coll={}, _qty=0.00,_wastage=0.00;
// Filter and modify JSON data
$.each(fpr_data, function(i, data) {
_qty = data.raw_qty * qty;
_wastage = data.raw_wastage * qty;
// Next time add on existing keys
var currentObj = coll[data.raw_id]; // Try not to repeat yourself ;-)
if( currentObj == data.raw_id ) {
var q = currentObj.qty + _qty;
var w = currentObj.wastage + _wastage;
console.log(data);
coll[data.raw_id] = $.extend(data, {"qty":q, "wastage":w});
}
else {
coll[data.raw_id] = $.extend(data, {"qty":_qty, "wastage":_wastage});

Windows 8 Application Javascript and SQlite (Database is locked)

I write some simple app for windows 8 Metro UI with javascript. Because natural method from microsoft to use Sqlite with Javascript in Metro UI. I use 'doo' wrapper:
dooWrapper SQLite (github)
I create a method :
function addSomething(name) {
var dbPath = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.current.localFolder.path + '\\a_db.sqlite';
SQLite3JS.openAsync(dbPath).then(function (db) {
return db.runAsync("INSERT INTO STH (nazwa) VALUES (:name)", { name: name }).
done(function () {
console.log('Add sth : ' + name);
db.close();
}, function (error) {
if (db) {
db.close();
}
console.log('ERROR Adding sth' + error.message);
})
});
}
I get error 'database is locked' I read about this error in documentation. But I have one question is other solution to add more rows without create 'insert' function with collections argument something like that : insert (array) ? I just want to use that function n-times without this error. That's possible?

Yes,it possible...i also got this error before....For that you just need to establish the database connection once...i have used this in my app and its working fine.
If there is no need of closing your db then then open database once like..
Add this code to default.js file
var myDatabase; //Global Variable
var dbPath = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.current.localFolder.path + '\\db.sqlite';
//Create Table
SQLite3JS.openAsync(dbPath).then(function(db) {
myDatabase=db;
return db.runAsync('CREATE TABLE Item (name TEXT, price REAL, id INT PRIMARY KEY)');
});
Then you just need to use below code
// For Insert
return myDatabase.runAsync('INSERT INTO Item (name, price, id) VALUES ("'+ array[i].name+'", "48484", 1);
For array
var dbPromises = [];
var testArray = [];
//only for test purpose
//You can pass your array here directly
for (var a = 0; a < 300; a++) {
var obj = {
name: "Mango"+a,
price: 100+a,
id: a
};
testArray.push(obj);
}
for (var i = 0; i < testArray.length; i++) {
var query = 'INSERT OR REPLACE INTO Item (name, price, id) VALUES ("' + testArray[i].name + '",' + testArray[i].price + ',' + testArray[i].id + ')';
dbPromises.push(globalDatabase.allAsync(query));
}
WinJS.Promise.join(dbPromises).then(function () {
debugger;
}, function(err) {
debugger;
});
Above code is used only for less array size...bcz its taking too much time for insertion...
For fasst execution you should replace just below code
for (var i = 0; i < testArray.length; i++) {
var val = '("' + testArray[i].name + '",' + testArray[i].price + ',' + testArray[i].id + '),';
query = query + val;
if ((i + 1) % 300 == 0 || (i + 1) == testArray.length) {
query = query.replace(/,$/, "");
dbPromises.push(globalDatabase.allAsync(query));
query = 'INSERT OR REPLACE INTO Item (name, price, id) VALUES ';
}
}
