I'm handling an unknown number of ajax requests. The request could fail in a 404. This causes the whole chain to fail.
Is there a way to continue after one deferred fails?
var deferreds = [];
// fill deferreds with a number of ajax requests.
$.when.apply($, deferreds)
.done(function(){
// handle done
}).fail(function(){
// handle fail
// would like to fix/resolve the failed deferred and continue with the rest
});
You have to create your own deferred object, waiting for the other deferred to succeed or fail.
var myDeferred = $.Deferred();
var origDeferred = $.ajax(...);
// if request is ok, i resolve my deferred
origDeferred.done(function() {
myDeferred.resolve.apply(this, arguments);
});
// if request failed, i also resolve my deferred
origDeferred.fail(function() {
myDeferred.resolve.apply(this, arguments);
});
In that case your deferred will always be resolved.
How about doing this way!
var defArr = []; // Array of Deferreds
var recur = function(){
$.when.apply($, defArr).done(function(){
// Only do what event, when all are done, fail or resolved
$.get("/media.php?i=done");
}).fail(function(oDef){
// Remove fail def from defArr
defArr.splice(defArr.indexOf(oDef), 1)
// do it again with all defArr into $.when
recur();
});
}
recur();
