Assigning Custom Role in JS on Users Entity

Server Code
1

Tutorial: https://backendless.com/documentation/business-logic/js/bl_quick_start_js.htm
I am using JS in Business Logic using Events on Users Table after Register
Business Logic:
afterRegister.js

console.log( "Test");
req.user.email = req.user.email.toUpperCase();

Ran npm run debug
21:52:23.682 - Registering Model on https://api.backendless.com
21:52:24.121 - Model successfully registered
21:52:24.122 - Waiting for Server Code tasks…
I verified that event is registered in Debug tab and is Enabled.

curl -H application-id:"xxxxxxxx" -H secret-key:"yyyyyyyyy" -H Content-Type:application/json -X POST -d "{\"email\":\"P1@p.com\", \"password\":\"password\"}" -v https://api.backendless.com/v1/users/register

But i dont see any info on Server Code command window
Curl is getting run correctly and row is getting inserted to the Users Table as well. I even tried with other Table as well.
Looks like Server is not getting invoked…
What am i doing wrong here…?
Thanks
Sudheer

Thanks, Sudheer. What does the other handler do? Is it getting invoked?

5

Nope, 2 handlers are not getting invoked.

a. After Register on Users table
b. After Create on Grade Table (Custom table)

I can give me Application id if that helps to check this out, i can change it later

Hi Sudheer,

We looked into the problem and it is a bug in the core system - it does not issue events for the register API. An internal ticket has been created and is assigned to a developer.

Hello, Sudheer!

Can you try it again?
Thanks!

Hi Alexandr, I dont see any change compared to previous. Do i need to get any update?

I reset the connection and tried but still no luck… but this is what i found after i click reset connection under Debug Tab. Bold statement below… I tried to wait for sometime and click reset then i was seeing this and its consistent. btw, i was testing on User - after Register

Thanks

No, you’re not able to do any update. We shall keep on looking at this issue.

I’d like to ask you to add some other handlers ( for example, beforeLogin ) and try to invoke them. Notify us please about results.
Thank you!

i tried to remove custom table Logic, still i see this error. btw, i dont have any logic in each function except one console statement.

Not sure if this is expected and i dont remember seeing this before.
In Backendless web Page of BusinessLogic, i keep seeing Reset Connection button appearing and disappearing.

Hi Sudheer!

Could you try to reset connection manually?
Also, this issue already resolved. Could you try again?
Regards,
Kate.

I switched my machine and now, still i saw the same issue. i am able to submit the tasks after i deploy it. might be some issue with debug version. btw, functionality is not working as expected. please do let me know if i am doing any thing wrong.

Code:

Backendless.ServerCode.Persistence.beforeCreate('Chapter', function(req) {
  console.log(req);
  req.item.ChapterName = req.item.ChapterName.toUpperCase();
  console.log(req);
}, true);

here is log:

As per Log above, it converting to Capitals, but i don’t see the same in record(row) in table. i tried refreshing the table, but still same.

Thanks

I have some success on Users Table but not related to toUpperCase() though. I will move forward with this and will raise my concern if i got stuck again.

Thanks Kate.
