I am having a problem creating an google script that would run every night. The code runs fine when I run it from the script file and behaves as expected, however when performed by an installed trigger I get the following:
TypeError: Cannot read property "length" from undefined. (line 17, file "Main")
EDIT: To be clear I know that the particular query used has to return results as running the same script from the script editor works fine
Code:
function doGet(query) {
var sSheet = sheetSelect(), //calls spreadsheet selection function and assigns the spreadsheet to variable
queriedMessages, //object to store the queried messages list
pageToken, //string token value that will be pulled from the queredMessages
auth = 'me';
if (!query) query = 'in:all newer_than:1d -is:chats -in:trash';
do {
queriedMessages = Gmail.Users.Messages.list(auth, {'q':query, 'pageToken':pageToken}); //callls the Gmail API to query messages
dataOutput(sSheet, queriedMessages.messages, queriedMessages.messages.length); //calls function to output all data to spreadsheet from the current list
pageToken = queriedMessages.nextPageToken; //gets the next page token from the list
}
while (pageToken); //the loop is executed until there are no more next page tokens left
}
Any ideas why it behaves so differently? I have tried providing userId for a specific e-mail. Seems like this might be some kind of authentication issue but I cannot figure out how to fix it other than forgetting about Gmail API and go a roundabout way of using Gmail App as it seems to be an issue with Gmail API method messages.list()
Thank You for any help in advance!
I managed to fix the issue. The problem was me wanting to leave an option to pass on a query with the function call. The problem then is that the installed trigger actually passed on a variable to the query variable and a new one is then not set.
