Need help debugging my code

[barreyra]

Somehow, I can't get my new goodie to work. When I'm doing one query, it works fine. I change the query, and all of a sudden, my goodie stops working and I get the following error:

Error: DDG.exec_template: template is null

I'm not sure what could be causing the problem, and this is my first attempt on working on this environment, so I need help. The query that works returns:

is there somewhere we can see the code?

[barreyra]

I just pushed it here. You will not be able to replicate my results as I removed the API key phish.net gave me for this, as I think it's intended to be private. You can go to http://api.phish.net/ and request one.

[javathunderman]

@barreyra You can always ask questions on the IRC or on the Gitter chatroom- you might be able to get help faster that way.

@barreyra sorry for the delay -- the code looks good at first glance -- I can only imagine the API response is changing and causing problems.

I would suggest you use a built-in template group, other than base which is only meant to be used as a last resort and also please wrap your callback function in a closure as that's our standard format for the JS files.

I don't suspect that'll solve the problem, but I'll be a little happier with the code :)

@barreyra is this still an issue?
