"Uncaught (in promise) undefined" error when using with=location in Facebook Graph API query
I am currently developing a web application with the Facebook Graph API.
My current goal is to retrieve only posts which have a location attached.
While retrieving posts with and without location is already working, I am not able to retrieve only posts with location.
The query which retrieves both types looks like this: '/me/feed?fields=id,name,message,picture,place,with_tags&limit=100&with=location'
The query which should retrieve only posts with location looks like this: /me/feed?fields=id,name,message,picture,place,with_tags&limit=100&with=location
The problem I have is that with the parameter &with=location
I get an error Uncaught (in promise) undefined
at this part of my code:
if (response.paging && response.paging.next) {
recursiveAPICall(response.paging.next);
} else {
resolve(postsArr);
}
} else {
// Error message comes from here
reject();
}
Log shows the following:
DEBUG: -------------------------------
DEBUG: Ember : 2.4.5
DEBUG: Ember Data : 2.5.3
DEBUG: jQuery : 2.2.4
DEBUG: Ember Simple Auth : 1.1.0

Does anyone have a possible solution for this?
For further information how the code looks like see my previous question.
The error tells you that there is an error but you don´t catch it. This is how you can catch it:
getAllPosts().then(response => {
console.log(response);
}).catch(e => {
console.log(e);
});
You can also just put a console.log(reponse)
at the beginning of your API callback function, there is definitely an error message from the Graph API in it.
More information: https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/catch
Or with async/await:
//some async function
try {
let response = await getAllPosts();
} catch(e) {
console.log(e);
}
The reject
actually takes one parameter: that's the exception that occurred in your code that caused the promise to be rejected. So, when you call reject()
the exception value is undefined
, hence the "undefined" part in the error that you get.
You do not show the code that uses the promise, but I reckon it is something like this:
var promise = doSth();
promise.then(function() { doSthHere(); });
Try adding an empty failure call, like this:
promise.then(function() { doSthHere(); }, function() {});
This will prevent the error to appear.
However, I would consider calling reject
only in case of an actual error, and also... having empty exception handlers isn't the best programming practice.
