Functions Rerunning in GAS

I'm using GAS to send and receive texts. There is one function that send texts (sendTexts.gs) and one that receives (receiveTexts.gs). I have both of these functions linked to individual buttons on the sheet, but when I run one function, both are running (texts get sent every time). Is there a cache or something that needs to be cleared? The receiveTexts has no commands in the code that could send messages in it, and based on logger testing, I know that both are running when I only click one.
EDIT: This also occurs in the GAS "terminal". If I click run in the script editor both run.
Here is the code with personal/individual info (codes/phone numbers edited out):
function sendSms(to, body) {
var playerArray = getMeta();
Logger.log(playerArray);
var messages_url = "https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/EDIT/Messages.json";
var payload = {
"To": to,
"Body" : body,
"From" : "EDIT"
};
var options = {
"method" : "post",
"payload" : payload
};
options.headers = {
"Authorization" : "Basic " + Utilities.base64Encode("EDIT")
};
UrlFetchApp.fetch(messages_url, options);
}
function sendAll() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var text = SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Meta')).getRange('B4').getValue();
var playerArray = getMeta();
Logger.log(text);
for (i=0; i<playerArray.length;i++) {
try {
var number = playerArray[i][1];
Logger.log(number);
response_data = sendSms(number, text);
status = "sent";
} catch(err) {
Logger.log(err);
status = "error";
}
Logger.log(status);
}
}
function sendTexts() {
sendAll();
}
Logger.log("ran send texts");
Here is the receive texts code with the same adjustments:
function receiveTexts() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var ACCOUNT_SID = "EDIT";
var ACCOUNT_TOKEN = "EDIT";
var toPhoneNumber = "+EDIT";
var sheet = spreadsheet.setActiveSheet(spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Meta'), true);
var playerArray = getMeta();
var numberToRetrieve = playerArray.length;
var hoursOffset = 0;
var options = {
"method" : "get"
};
options.headers = {
"Authorization" : "Basic " + Utilities.base64Encode(ACCOUNT_SID + ":" + ACCOUNT_TOKEN)
};
var url="https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/" + ACCOUNT_SID + "/Messages.json?To=" + toPhoneNumber + "&PageSize=" + numberToRetrieve;
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url,options);
// -------------------------------------------
// Parse the JSON data and put it into the spreadsheet's active page.
// Documentation: https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/rest/response
spreadsheet.setActiveSheet(spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Meta'), true);
var numRounds = spreadsheet.getRange('B2').getValue();
var theSheet = SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Attacks'),true);
var theColumn = (numRounds*2)+1;
var dataAll = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
for (i=0; i<dataAll.messages.length; i++){
var sentNumber = dataAll.messages[i].from;
Logger.log(sentNumber);
for (k=0; k<playerArray.length;k++){
Logger.log(playerArray[k][1]);
if (playerArray[k][1]==sentNumber){
var player = k;
Logger.log('Success');
Logger.log(player);
break;
}
}
var playerRow = playerArray[player][0];
Logger.log(playerRow);
spreadsheet.setActiveSheet(spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Attacks'),true);
theSheet.getRange(playerRow, theColumn).setValue(dataAll.messages[i].body);
}
spreadsheet.setActiveSheet(spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Meta'), true);
sheet.getRange(2,2).setValue(numRounds +1);
}
Logger.log("texts received ran");
EDIT2: I separated out getMeta into a separate file. Now when I run getMeta, it also runs the other two scripts. Anytime any one script is run, all three run. This makes me think it's not related to the code, but related to some setting or something. Does the order of the scripts in the sidebar matter? I feel like that's not it because running any of the three causes all three to be run.

javascript error in nifi executeScript

I am having an issue getting the javascript script for the executeScript nifi process to work and would appreciate help with this. The goal is to pass a flowfile which will contain a json object. I need to parse this json without knowing the content/fields prior and pass this along to write it out to the flowfile that is being passed out to the next process that is MergeContent and counts the number flowfiles.
Tried testing the script and got the following error:

Am I missing something?

I saw a couple of things here:
I don't know if Nashorn (Java's JS Engine) supports the full lambda
syntax, I was able to get it to work by making the lambda a function
(see script below).
You refer to a json variable to get the value from a key, but I think you want message_content.
result is not defined, so you get an error when you push to it.
Here's an edited version of your script that I got to work the way I think you want it (but please correct me if I'm wrong):

Cannot open file "/dev/ttyO2" when trying to use the serial port on the Beaglebone Black

I am trying to open the serial port 2 on my beagle bone, using the following code:
var b = require('bonescript');
var x = '/dev/ttyO2';
var SerialPort = require("serialport").SerialPort;
var serialPort = new SerialPort('/dev/ttyO2', {
baudrate: 115200,

});
b.pinMode("P9_17", b.OUTPUT);
var countTry =2;
var i = 0; // to loop over the array
var waiting_interval = 3000; // waiting for every slave to reply
var deli;
var slaves = ["S1", "S2" , "S3", "S4", "S5", "S6"];
var counter=[0 , 0 , 0 , 0 ,0 ,0];
var slave_exists = false;
serialPort.on('open',function onSerialOpen(){
console.log("opened");
serialPort.on('data', function listenToSlaves(data){
i--;
if(data.search("END" + slaves[i]) ==0){
console.log("ENDED");
slave_exists = true;
counter[i]=0;
}
else{
// if(data!="END" + slaves[i]){
if(data.search("END" + slaves[i])!==0){
deli = data.indexOf(":");
var parameter = data.substring(0, deli);
var value = data.substring(deli +1);
console.log("parameter is: " + parameter + " - Value is: " + value);
}
}
if(slave_exists){
counter[i] =0;

i++;
});
writeToSlaves();

function writeToSlaves(){
//If the previous slave (the slave before the one I am sending to

Error: Cannot open /dev/ttyO2
I am running another file first (the code down), the I try to rerun the previous code, and it runs perfect. I need to do that whenever I want to run the first code!
The code that runs from the first time is here:
( I tried the following code alone, it writes to the serial port but doesnt recieve, no event at recieption):
var b = require('bonescript');
var rxport = '/dev/ttyO2';
var txport = '/dev/ttyO2';
var options = { baudrate: 115200, parity: 'even', parser: b.serialParsers.readline('\n') };
var teststring = "This is the string I'm sending out as a test";
b.serialOpen(rxport, options, onRxSerial);
function onRxSerial(x) {
console.log('rx.eventrx= ' + x.event);
if(x.err) throw('***FAIL*** ' + JSON.stringify(x));
if(x.event == 'open') {
//readReapeatedly();
b.serialOpen(txport, options, onTxSerial);
}
if(x.event == 'data') {
console.log("I am receiving on rxport");
console.log('rx (' + x.data.length +
') = ' + x.data.toString('ascii'));
}
}
function onTxSerial(x) {
console.log('tx.event = ' + x.event);
if(x.err) throw('***FAIL*** ' + JSON.stringify(x));
if(x.event == 'open') {
writeRepeatedly();
}
if(x.event == 'data') {
// console.log('tx (' + x.data.length +
// ') = ' + x.data.toString('ascii'));
console.log(x.data);
}
}
function printJSON(x) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(x));
}
function writeRepeatedly() {
console.log("write to serial");
b.serialWrite(txport, teststring, onSerialWrite);
console.log("I have sent data");
}
function onSerialWrite(x) {
console.log("Iam in the onSerialWrite function");
if(x.err) console.log('onSerialWrite err = ' + x.err);
if(x.event == 'callback') {setTimeout(writeRepeatedly, 5000);
console.log("HERE");
}
}

The problem was solved.
In /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt, Update the line:"#cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno= " to be:
"cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART1,BB-UART2,BB-UART4, BB-UART5 "
or add the last line to the mentioned file. In some cases, you need to try this line instead of the mentioned:
"optargs=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART1,BB-UART2,BB-UART4, BB-UART5" (this is my case - but it disabled the HDMI interface of my BBB).
You can specify the UART you want to enable.

JSON.stringify fails on a newly created object (node, javascript)

Ok, this one has to be a very easy question, but I just started learning node. I am also new to javascript, so, please show no mercy on pointing out wrong directions below.
In particular I have two files:
one has a class that creates some slave servers in different ports
the other one is the "main" file that generates the slaves
When I attempt to print out what I have just initialized I get two weird errors:
connections property is deprecated. Use getConnections() method, and then
it crashes when I attempt to apply JSON.stringify in the new object (Converting circular structure to JSON)
Code for slaves in file "slave.js":
var http = require ("http");
function Slave () {
}
Slave.prototype.ID = undefined;
Slave.prototype.coordinator = false;
Slave.prototype.httpServer = undefined;
Slave.prototype.thePort = undefined;
Slave.prototype.isCoordinator = function () { return this.coordinator; }
/*****************************************************************/
function handle_incoming_request (req, res) {
console.log("INCOMING REQUEST: " + req.method + " " + req.url);
res.writeHead (200, { "Content-Type" : "application/json" });
res.end( JSON.stringify({ "error" : null }) + "\n" );
}
exports.createSlave = function (id, coordinatorK, port) {
var temp = new Slave ();
temp.ID = id;
temp.coordinator = coordinatorK;
temp.thePort = port;
temp.httpServer = http.createServer(handle_incoming_request);
temp.httpServer.listen (temp.thePort);
console.log ("Slave (" + (temp.isCoordinator() ? "coordinator" : "regular") + ") with ID " + temp.ID + " is listening to port " + temp.thePort);
console.log ("--------------------------------------------");
return temp;
}
Now, the main file.
var http = require ("http");
var url = require ("url");
var a = require ("./slave.js");
var i, temp;
var myArray = new Array ();
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
var newID = i + 1;
var newPort = 8000 + i + 1;
var coordinatorIndicator = false;
if ((i % 4) == 0) {
coordinatorIndicator = true; // Say, this is going to be a coordinator
}
temp = a.createSlave (newID, coordinatorIndicator, newPort);
console.log ("New slave is : " + temp);
console.log ("Stringified is: " + JSON.stringify(temp));
myArray.push(temp);
}

You're trying to stringify the result of http.createServer(...). That'll not be what you want to do, so when you create that property, make it non-enumerable by defining it using Object.defineProperty().
exports.createSlave = function (id, coordinatorK, port) {
var temp = new Slave ();
temp.ID = id;
temp.coordinator = coordinatorK;
temp.thePort = port;
Object.defineProperty(temp, "httpServer", {
value: http.createServer(handle_incoming_request),
enumerable: false, // this is actually the default, so you could remove it
configurable: true,
writeable: true
});
temp.httpServer.listen (temp.thePort);
return temp;
}
This way JSON.stringify won't reach that property curing its enumeration of the object.

Issue is the with the property httpServer of temp object having circular reference. You can either set it non enumerable using Ecmascript5 property definision as mentioned in the previous answer or you can use the replacer function of JSON.stringify to customize it not to stringify the httpServer property.
console.log ("Stringified is: " + JSON.stringify(temp, function(key, value){
if(key === 'httpServer') return undefined;
return value;
}));

Getting list of clients using WebSockets

I'm building a multiuser sketchpad and having some issues getting and keeping an updated list of all the currently connected users. I'm trying to find the best way to notify all existing clients of a new client, and passing the existing clients to the newly connected one. The reason I'm trying to do this is so when one client draws a line, all the other clients find that client in the list, and add the line coords to the respective array.
Server.js
var sys = require("sys");
var ws = require('websocket-server');
var server = ws.createServer({debug: true});
server.addListener("connection", function(conn) {
// When a message is received, broadcast it too all the clients
// that are currently connected.
conn.send('NEW_SERVER_MESSAGE:Welcome!');
conn.send('USER_CONNECTED:' + conn.id);
conn.addListener("message", function( msg ){
switch(msg) {
case 'GET_ALL_ACTIVE_USERS':
server.manager.forEach(function(con) {
conn.broadcast('USER_CONNECTED:' + con.id);
});
break;
case 'UPDATE_CURSOR':
conn.broadcast( msg + '_' + conn.id );
break;
default:
conn.broadcast( msg );
break;
}
});
conn.addListener('close', function( msg ) {
conn.broadcast('USER_DISCONNECTED:' + conn.id);
});
});
server.addListener("error", function(){
console.log(Array.prototype.join.call(arguments, ", "));
});
server.addListener("listening", function(){
console.log("Listening for connections...");
});
server.addListener("disconnected", function(conn){
console.log("<"+conn.id+"> disconnected.");
});
server.listen(8002);</code>
My JS network code:
sketchPadNet = function (b,s) {
var self = this;
this.host = "ws://localhost:8002/server.js";
this.id = null;
this.users = [];
this.heightOffset = 53;

var p2 = new BLUR.Vertex3(tmpMsg[3], tmpMsg[4], tmpMsg[5]);
var line = new BLUR.Line3D(p1, p2, tmpMsg[7]);
line.material = tmpMsg[6];
// add the newly created line to the scene.

At the moment, when a new client connected it sends out a message and is added to an array, the the reverse when a client disconnects. For some reason though this isn't staying update? For example when a client draws a line, some of the others report this error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'lines' of undefined
Sorry if i'm being incredibly stupid here, but any help is appreciated!!
Cheers :)

I tried to figure it out by looking at the code but without even a line number on which the error appears, it's pretty hard, anyways.
I suppose this is the problem here:
conn.send('USER_CONNECTED:' + conn.id); // send the connect message to ONE user
conn.broadcast('USER_DISCONNECTED:' + conn.id); // send the disconnect to ALL users
So it seems that you're simply missing a broadcast call when a user connects.

Ok the real issue seems to be in 'DRAW_LINE' on the client side. Are you sure that you are broadcasting the message to all users and not just sending back the message to the client?
The error points to this line in your client code:
var p1 = (self.users[userIndex].lines.length < 1) ? new BLUR.Vertex3(tmpMsg[0], tmpMsg[1], tmpMsg[2]) : self.users[userIndex].lines[self.users[userIndex].lines.length - 1].point2;
Please provide the server code for 'DRAW_LINE'. The issue is definitely cropping up in there and not in any of the others.
Also, self.users[userIndex] is undefined. Maybe that user does not exist?
Why do u need that for loop? Why not just:
if(self.users[id] != undefined) {
var p1 = (self.users[id].lines.length < 1) ? new BLUR.Vertex3(tmpMsg[0], tmpMsg[1], tmpMsg[2]) : self.users[id].lines[self.users[id].lines.length - 1].point2;
}

I'm trying to find the best way to
notify all existing clients of a new
client, and passing the existing
clients to the newly connected one
I would advice you to have a look at socket.io instead. It can do this easily and fail back to other available transports if websockets aren't supported by the browser.

you might want to consider using an existing server that has things like rooms and user lists built in. for comparison, here's a tutorial for a multiuser sketchpad written in javascript that uses Union Server:
http://www.unionplatform.com/?page_id=2762
and here's Union Server's documented protocol, which includes a description of the messaging system for rooms and clients joining/leaving rooms:
http://unionplatform.com/specs/upc/
might give you some ideas.
