JSON.parse(...).forEach is an error on published website

i'm currently working with rendering some graphs on a web mvc project. The graphs already render on my machine when i'm debugging the code, but the moment I publish it on the IIS of my QA server, I get the following error on console
TypeError: JSON.parse(...).forEach is not a function
Here's the a snippet of the code I'm currently working
ajaxPostConstancy.done(function (html) {
Utils.Alerts.HideGif();
var data = {};
var category = [];
var colors = [];
JSON.parse(html).forEach(function (e) {
category .push(e.date);
colors.push(e.color);
data[e.date] = e.data1;
})
....
any ideas of what's going on?
Edit: the html var inside the JSON.parse is te string returned by this code
public async Task<string> GetCompositionGraph(string contract, string methodName)
{
string preFormat = null;
try
{
string method = _configuration["Position:method:" + methodName];
PositionBL _bl = new PositionBL(Request, Response, _baseUri, method);
object model = await _bl.PostCompositionGraph(contract);
preFormat = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(model);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
ViewBag.error = ex.Message;
}
return preFormat;
}
edit 2: the content of html variable which is generated by the code on the first edit:
html content:
[{"color":"#162ECB","date":"20","data1":1122954.8708},{"color":"#E03473","date":"00","data1":1323061.6168},{"color":"#CE029D","date":"26","data1":29982.2271}]
and this picture is the result I get from the JSON.parse when I debug my website
Edit 3: Visual input
The explorer console when the sites is deployed on my localhost for debugging
The explorer console while checking the site published on QA server
Edit 4: So i narrowed it down to the fact that the error comes when I debug the websit in Release mode, so that's kind of a step foward

If preformat returns null or an object forEach() will throw an error.
ajaxPostConstancy.done(function (html) {
Utils.Alerts.HideGif();
var data = {};
var category = [];
var colors = [];
var parsedDatas = JSON.parse(html)
if (Array.isArray(parsedDatas)) {
parsedDatas.forEach(function (e) {
// logic here
});
} else {
console.warn('This is not an array : ', html)
}
...

The forEach() method calls a function once for each element in an array while the JSON.parse() makes the html an object.

In Karate DSL, calling a javascript file returns java.lang.RuntimeException

I have a javascript file I want to call. contents are below. When I tried calling the file, I keep getting a "no variable found with name: response" even though there is clearly a variable defined. The file executes fine within command-line using node so the javascript function is valid. Any thoughts? I attached the error message in a screenshot.
Javascript content in snippet below.
Karate script:
Scenario: Call JavaScript:
* def sample = read('classpath:reusable/gen-data.js')
* print someValue
function createTestData(sampleJson, fieldsToChange, numRecords) {
var testData = [];
for (var i = 0; i < numRecords; i++) {
var copy = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(sampleJson));
fieldsToChange.forEach(function(fieldToChange) {
copy[fieldToChange] = copy[fieldToChange] + i;
});
testData.push(copy);
}
return {content: testData};
}
var testData = {
"country": "US",
"taskStatusCode" : "Closed",
"facilityCode" : "US_203532",
};
function getTestData() {
String testData = JSON.stringify(createTestData(testData, ["taskStatusCode", "facilityCode"], 1), null, 1);
console.log("all done getTestData()");
console.log("test data: \n" + testData);
return testData;
};
console.log("calling getTestData()");
getTestData();

I think this error is thrown when the JavaScript is not correct. For example in my case this JS file:
/* Set the custom authentication header */
function fn() {
var authToken = karate.get('authToken');
var out = {};
out['Auth-Token'] = authToken
return out;
}
This file will produce the "no variable found with name: response".
The reason is because "the right-hand-side (or contents of the *.js file if applicable) should begin with the function keyword." according to the karate docs (link).
Now by moving the comment and making the function keyword the first bit of text it works as expected:
function fn() {
/* Set the custom authentication header */
var authToken = karate.get('authToken');
var out = {};
out['Auth-Token'] = authToken
return out;
}
In the OP, the function keyword is the first thing in the file, but there is javascript outside the original function -- which I don't think is legal for karate syntax. In other words, everything has to be in the outer function.

My workaround was to use java instead of JavaScript.

Code logging undefined when ran in a $.get request, but when ran on the page it works fine?

My code is logging undefined when I run it, but when I run it on the current page (removing the $.get request, and the $(f)
This is my code:
var product = 20219291;
function check(id) {
$.get('http://m.roblox.com/items/'+id+'/privatesales').success(function(r) {
var d = r.replace(/img/gi,"flip");
var f = $(d).find(".ui-btn-text a").first().attr('href');
console.log(f);
var s = link.substring(0, link.indexOf('&expectedPrice'));
var userAssetId = s.replace('/Catalog/VerifyTransfer?userAssetOptionId=', '')
var price = link.substring(link.indexOf("&expectedPrice=") + "&expectedPrice=".length);
console.log(userAssetId, price);
});
}
check(161211433);

When you access this page via the browser, you are logged in, so there is an active session.
When you try to access the page with ajax, the return html is the content of this page I suppose :
https://m.roblox.com/Login?ReturnUrl=%2fitems%2f161211433%2fprivatesales
If you need to login to access some content, I suggest you use the api from server side :

Why does my dojo xhrPost request's response always end up in error handler?

My javascript:
var params = {};
params.selectedCurrency = 'USD';
params.orderIdForTax = '500001';
var xhrArgs1 = {
url : 'UpdateCurrencyCmd',
handleAs : 'text',
content : params,
preventCache:false,
load:function(data){
alert('success!');
},
error: function(error){
alert(error);
//the alert says 'SyntaxError: syntax error'
},
timeout:100000
};
dojo.xhrPost(xhrArgs1);
I tried debugging with firebug, i do get the appropriate response (i think). Here it is;
/*
{
"orderIdForTax": ["500001"],
"selectedCurrency": ["USD"]
}
*/
The comments /* and */ are somehow embedded automatically cuz the url im hitting with xhrPost is actually a command class on ibm's websphere commerce environment. Can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong here?
Server code
public void performExecute() throws ECException {
try{
super.performExecute();
double taxTotal;
System.out.println("Updating currency in UpdateCurrencyCmd...");
GlobalizationContext cntxt = (GlobalizationContext) getCommandContext().getContext(GlobalizationContext.CONTEXT_NAME);
if(requestProperties.containsKey("selectedCurrency"))
selectedCurrency = requestProperties.getString("selectedCurrency");
else
selectedCurrency = cntxt.getCurrency();
if(requestProperties.containsKey("orderIdForTax"))
orderId = requestProperties.getString("orderIdForTax");
OrderAccessBean orderBean = new OrderAccessBean();
cntxt.setCurrency(selectedCurrency.toUpperCase());
orderBean.setInitKey_orderId(orderId);
orderBean.refreshCopyHelper();
orderBean.setCurrency(selectedCurrency.toUpperCase());
orderBean.commitCopyHelper();
TypedProperty rspProp = new TypedProperty();
rspProp.put(ECConstants.EC_VIEWTASKNAME, "AjaxActionResponse");
setResponseProperties(rspProp);
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage() );
}
}

The problem was with my client side code, weirdly.
load:function(data){
data = data.replace("/*", "");
data = data.replace("*/", "");
var obj = eval('(' + data + ')');
alert('Success');
}
Its weird but this worked. Lol.

I guess the problem is with coment-filtering option of handle as method.
The response should be comment filered as below.
See tha AjaxActionResponse.jsp (WCS)
vailable Handlers
There are several pre-defined contentHandlers available to use. The value represents the key in the handlers map.
text (default) - Simply returns the response text
json - Converts response text into a JSON object
xml - Returns a XML document
javascript - Evaluates the response text
json-comment-filtered - A (arguably unsafe) handler to preventing JavaScript hijacking
json-comment-optional - A handler which detects the presence of a filtered response and toggles between json or json-comment-filtered appropriately.

Problem creating an email with an attachment in Javascript

I'm initiating an email create, by calling the code below, and adding an attachment to it.
I want the user to be able to type in the receipient, and modify the contents of the message, so I'm not sending it immediately.
Why do I get a RangeError the 2nd time the method is called?
(The first time it works correctly.)
function NewMailItem(p_recipient, p_subject, p_body, p_file, p_attachmentname)
{
try
{
var objO = new ActiveXObject('Outlook.Application');
var objNS = objO.GetNameSpace('MAPI');
var mItm = objO.CreateItem(0);
mItm.Display();
if (p_recipient.length > 0)
{
mItm.To = p_recipient;
}
mItm.Subject = p_subject;
if (p_file.length > 0)
{
var mAts = mItm.Attachments;
mAts.add(p_file, 1, p_body.length + 1, p_attachmentname);
}
mItm.Body = p_body;
mItm.GetInspector.WindowState = 2;
} catch(e)
{
alert('unable to create new mail item');
}
}
The error is occuring on the mAts.add line. So when it tries to attach the document, it fails.
Also the file name (p_file) is a http address to a image.

Won't work outside of IE, the user needs to have Outlook on the machine and an account configured on it. Are you sure you want to send an email this way?

I'm trying it with this little snippet, and it works flawlessly:
var objO = new ActiveXObject('Outlook.Application');
var mItm = objO.CreateItem(0);
var mAts = mItm.Attachments;
var p_file = [
"http://stackoverflow.com/content/img/vote-arrow-up.png",
"http://stackoverflow.com/content/img/vote-arrow-down.png"
];
for (var i = 0; i < p_file.length; i++) {
mAts.add(p_file[i]);
}
Note that I left off all optional arguments to Attachments.Add(). The method defaults to adding the attachments at the end, which is what you seem to want anyway.
Can you try this standalone snippet? If it works for you, please do a step-by-step reduction of your code towards this absolute minimum, and you will find what causes the error.

first do mItm.display()
then write mItm.GetInspector.WindowState = 2;
this will work
