未捕获必须使用Parse.initialize指定密钥

Question

I've been using Parse for about three months but have started a new app. I am using Parse 1.4.2 js sdk.

I have some code in a separate file which is making a request to the database. The file is included in the main.js file.

When I try to deploy (using 1.4.2 sdk) I am getting the error:

Uploading source files
Uploading recent changes to scripts...
The following files will be uploaded:
/Users/aaron/dev/Familiar/cloud/main.js
/Users/aaron/dev/Familiar/cloud/user.js
/Users/aaron/dev/Familiar/cloud/verification.js
Finished uploading files
Uncaught You must specify a key using Parse.initialize.

If I try to deploy using the latest sdk, I get the error:

Uploading source files
Uploading recent changes to scripts...
The following files will be uploaded:
/Users/aaron/dev/Familiar/cloud/verification.js
Finished uploading files

If I comment out all of verification.js it will upload, but with it uncommented I get the error. My other working app never calls Parse.initialize . Why is it asking for it now?

Answer 1

I had the same issue and I found that I'd hit the same error whenever I tried to call a function at the global level. The only time I've been able to call functions is within the scope of other functions.

Pertaining to your code, I imagine you're trying to export the function itself eg

exports.createSmsVerification = createSmsVerification;

The code you have:

exports.createSmsVerification = createSmsVerification();

actually calls the function and exports the result.

Answer 2

This took me about 3/4 of a day to find the answer. It is not in the documentation. The error is not clear at all.

The problem seems to be related to the way export is used. I assume that using exports.methodName = methodName() is trying to call the method, rather than set it as an attribute of exports . exports.methodName = methodName also works fine.

The following code DOES NOT WORK

function createSmsVerification(user) {
    return getUserSmsVerification(user)
        .then(function (verification) {
            var verificationQuery = new Parse.Query("Verification");
            return verificationQuery.first(); <-- this is the line causing the error
        })
        .then(function (verification) {
            return verification;
        }, function (error) {
            return Parse.Promise.error("createSmsVerification - " + error.message);
        });
}
exports.createSmsVerification = createSmsVerification();

The following code DOES WORK

exports.createSmsVerification = function(user) {
    return getUserSmsVerification(user)
        .then(function (verification) {
            var verificationQuery = new Parse.Query("Verification");
            return verificationQuery.first();
        })
        .then(function (verification) {
            return verification;
        }, function (error) {
            return Parse.Promise.error("createSmsVerification - " + error.message);
        });
}
