Error: gate-executor question

[danswater]

What I'm trying to do is I want to create a service that will upload some images to cloudinary, cloudinary provides an SDK for uploading images to their server.

So this is what my code looks like

const cloudinary = require( 'cloudinary' );

function fileManager ( options ) {
    let seneca = this;
    let plugin = 'fileManager';

    seneca.add( 'init:files', init );
    seneca.add( 'role:files,cmd:upload', cmdUpload );

    function init () {
        cloudinary.config( { ... } );
    }

    function cmdUpload ( msg, reply ) {
        cloudinary.uploader.upload( msg.data.StringImage, function ( res ) {
            reply( null, res );
        } );
    }

    return {
        'name' : plugin
    }
}

module.exports = fileManager;

And I tried to call this service for testing

const assert = require( 'assert' );
const seneca = require( 'seneca' )();

seneca
    .use( 'entity' )
    .use( require( './file-manager' ) )
    .error( assert.fail );

createFile();

function createFile () {
    let data = '<some-base64-image-string>';

    seneca.act( { 'role' : 'files', 'cmd' : 'upload', 'data' : { 'StringName' : data } }, function ( err, file ) {
        if ( err ) return console.log( err );

        // assertion
        console.log( file );
    } );
}

Everytime I run the code above seneca always throw this error.

Can someone point me out what is wrong with this one?

Thanks

Do you call the callback in your init action? Init actions have the same signature like every action afaik. Also try to wrap you call of createFile in seneca.ready(function (err) { ... }.

[danswater]

I updated the init action

    function init ( msg, reply ) {
        cloudinary.config( { ... } );
        reply();
    }

and also invoking createFile inside seneca.ready but still I got the same error.

I suspect that this line of code seneca throws an error

        cloudinary.uploader.upload( msg.data.StringImage, function ( res ) {
            reply( null, res );
        } );

because when I try to remove the cloudinary and calling reply( null, { 'res' : 'testing' ) instead it actually works fine.

[indr]

And you are sure your init action gets called? Because the plugin name differs. Try this seneca.add( {init:plugin}, init );

[danswater]

@indr , Thank you for figuring out my mistake! :)

I initially name my plugin to files and then eventually rename it to fileManager but I forgot to renamed this part seneca.add( {init:files}, init ).

[indr]

@danswater My pleasure :smile:

I'm closing this issue now. Seneca rocks!
