when using if(typeof(global.payload) == typeof(""))
it does not execute the code inside the block even though typeof(global.payload)
returns string
my code:
const { uploadFileToCloud } = require("./app.js")
const path = require("path");
var startTime, endTime;
global.payload = null
var download_size = 448800;
console.log("measurement started")
endTime = new Date().getTime()
console.log("start time => " endTime)
const measureUpSpd = async () => {
await uploadFileToCloud("uploadPayload.txt", (path.resolve("./").replace(/\\/g, "/") "/")).then(response => {
global.payload = response
console.log("payload => " global.payload)
return (response)
})
};
measureUpSpd().then(x => {
console.log("payload => " global.payload " ")
})
if (typeof (global.payload) == typeof ("")) {
console.log("measurement started")
global.startTime = new Date().getTime();
console.log("end time => " startTime);
ShowData();
global.payload = null
}
async function ShowData() {
var duration = (endTime - startTime) / 1000;
var bitsLoaded = download_size * 8;
var speedMbps = ((bitsLoaded / duration) / 1024 / 1024).toFixed(2);
console.log("Speed: " speedMbps " Mbps");
}
uploadFileToCloud()
;
async function uploadFileToCloud(fileName, filePath) {
try {
global.filePathPatched = "" filePath fileName
if (filePath) {
console.log("compete file path is " filePathPatched)
var mimetype = await findMimeType(fileName)
var folderNameParsed = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("./settings.json")).folderId
const response = await drive.files.create({
requestBody: {
name: fileName,
MimeType: mimetype,
parents: [folderNameParsed]
},
media: {
mimeType: mimetype,
body: fs.createReadStream(filePathPatched)
}
})
return (response.data.id "")
} else {
console.log("no file path")
}
} catch (error) {
console.log(error.message)
}
}
CodePudding user response:
measureUpSpd
is an async
function, that it doesn't seem like you are await
ing. My guess is that the if(typeof(global.payload) == typeof(""))
check is occurring before measureUpSpd
has completed and actually set global.payload
to a string value
CodePudding user response:
This is a very typical case of asynchronous code management.
You either need to place your code in the then
callback:
measureUpSpd().then(x => {
console.log("payload => " global.payload " ")
if (typeof (global.payload) == typeof ("")) {
console.log("measurement started")
global.startTime = new Date().getTime();
console.log("end time => " startTime);
ShowData();
global.payload = null
}
})
Or wrap everything in an async IIFE and await the result from measureUpSpd
:
(async() => {
const x = await measureUpSpd();
console.log("payload => " global.payload " ")
if (typeof (global.payload) == typeof ("")) {
console.log("measurement started")
global.startTime = new Date().getTime();
console.log("end time => " startTime);
ShowData();
global.payload = null
}
)();
