Jquery Ajax prevent fail in a deferred sequential loop
So, I'm chaining together sequential ajax, to load an array of urls in order. Originally I used .then()
instead of .always()
, and either way it works fine - provided that all urls existed. However, since there's a possibility of missing files, I wanted to compensate for that, and then finally, inform the user of which files were missing, in order to make it easier to rectify.
However, the problem is, on a missing file/404, the code executes, like it should, but then exits the loop, preventing any further ajax calls. So I figure, I need some way of either handling the fail()
and forcing a success regardless, or some other way of overriding the default behavior on a 404, so it continues progressing through the loop.
Unfortunately, the closest Google results, were how to do the opposite (force a failure on success).
var missing=[];
uLoadList.reduce(function(prev, cur, index) {
return prev.then(function(data) {
return $.ajax("/wiki/"+cur).always(function(data) {
var temp = $('#mw-content-text',data);
temp = $('pre',temp);
if(temp.length > 0)
{
//handle success
}else{
//handle failure
missing.push(cur);
}
});
});
}, $().promise()).done(function() {
if(missing.length > 0)
{
//notify of missing objects
}
//continue on.
});
One final note, to alleviate confusion: the URLs, and the script itself, are on a MediaWiki site - so even if a 404 is returned, there will always be page content, and will contain the element with the id of "mw-content-text".
Try
(function ($) {
$.when.all = whenAll;

"use strict";
var deferred = new $.Deferred(),
args = !! arr
? $.isArray(arr)
? arr
: Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)
.map(function (p) {
return p.hasOwnProperty("promise")
? p
: new $.Deferred()
.resolve(p, null, deferred.promise())
})
: [deferred.resolve(deferred.promise())],
promises = {
"success": [],
"error": []
}, doneCallback = function (res) {
promises[this.state() === "resolved"
|| res.textStatus === "success"
? "success"
: "error"].push(res);
return (promises.success.length
+ promises.error.length) === args.length
? deferred.resolve(promises)
: res
}, failCallback = function (res) {
// do `error` notification , processing stuff
// console.log(res.textStatus);
promises[this.state() === "rejected"
|| res.textStatus === "error"
? "error"
: "success"].push(res);
return (promises.success.length
+ promises.error.length) === args.length
? deferred.resolve(promises)
: res
};
$.map(args, function (promise, index) {
return $.when(promise).always(function (data, textStatus, jqxhr) {
return (textStatus === "success")
? doneCallback.call(jqxhr, {
data: data,
textStatus: textStatus
? textStatus
: jqxhr.state() === "resolved"
? "success"
: "error",
jqxhr: jqxhr
})
: failCallback.call(data, {
data: data,
textStatus: textStatus,
jqxhr: jqxhr
})
})
});
return deferred.promise()
};
}(jQuery));
// returns `Object {
// success: Array[/* success responses*/],

// e.g.,
var request = function (url, data) {
return $.post(url, {
json: JSON.stringify(data)
})
}, settings = [
["/echo/json/", "success1"], // `success`
["/echo/jsons/", "error1"], // `error`

return request.apply($, p)

.then(function (data) {
console.log(data);
// filter , process responses
$.each(data, function(key, value) {
if (key === "success") {
results.append(
"\r\n" + key + ":\r\n" + JSON.stringify(value, null, 4)
)
} else {
results.append(
"\r\n" + key + ":\r\n"
+ JSON.stringify(
value.map(function(v, k) {
v.data.responseText = $(v.data.responseText)
.filter("title, #summary, #explanation")
.text().replace(/\s+/g, " ");
return v
})
, null, 4)
)
}
})
}, function (e) {
console.log("error", e)
});
