Cannot read properties of undefined

[aaronhayes]

Which SDK version are you using?

13.0.0

What's the issue?

The SDK causes a crash trying to read FacebookAdsApi.getDefaultApi().getAppID(). We do not set the api key via the init method as that was causing us issues with multiple clients. Instead we always pass each object a new API object. e.g. const adAccount = new AdAccount(adAccountId, undefined, undefined, api);

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getAppID') at Object.processUncaughtException (/app/node_modules/facebook-nodejs-business-sdk/dist/cjs.js:487:35) at process. (/app/node_modules/facebook-nodejs-business-sdk/dist/cjs.js:464:30)

Hi @aaronhayes, did you end up finding out how to work around it?

@banuragaxioned could you confirm is this still an outstanding issue?

I faced the same issuse today after serveral struggle. I solve this issue by using require instead of import. instead of this import adsSdk from 'facebook-nodejs-business-sdk';

use this const adsSdk = require('facebook-nodejs-business-sdk');
