Hi I am trying to extract a value from a Netsuite hash inside custom fields, and some others, which typically look like this - `
"custbody_delivery_ticket_number"=>
{
"script_id"=>"custbody_delivery_ticket_number",
"internal_id"=>"2701",
"type"=>"platformCore:DateCustomFieldRef",
"attributes"=> {
"value"=>"123abc"
}
}` and want the value of it inside of attributes.
Have tried many different ways, but one in particular -
delivery_ticket_number: "#{netsuite_sales_orders.custom_field_list.custom_fields.select['custbody_nef_meter_ticket_number']['attributes']['value']}",
throws error for class Enumerator, NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for #Enumerator:0x00005589ec778730 which indicates may be getting close, but doing something wrong.
If anyone has any idea how to get values from these kind of hashes?
(Am told by the system admin that it is the correct custbody identifier)
Many Thanks
Eventually fixed this, grabbing Netsuite custom fields with a select of script_id by name,and map as below:
delivery_date:netsuite_sales_order.custom_fields_list.custom_fields.select { |field| field.script_id == 'custbody_delivery_date' }.map { |field| field.value }.first
First selecting the script_id by unique name, then mapping to the value. Was able to get any custom field like this, preferable as they can move and might not have the same index if use an index to grab them, fetching an incorrect value. This way ensures getting the correct data even if the item is moved up or down in the custom fields list.
Thanks for everyones help!

I've seen the JSON array questions here and I'm still a little lost, so could use some extra help.
Here's the setup:
My Flow calls a sproc on my DB and that sproc returns this JSON:
{
"ResultSets": {
"Table1": [
{
"OrderID": 9518338,
"BasketID": 9518338,
"RefID": 65178176,
"SiteConfigID": 237
}
]
},
"OutputParameters": {}
}
Then I use a PARSE JSON action to get what looks like the same result, but now I'm told it's parsed and I can call variables.
Issue is when I try to call just, say, SiteConfigID, I get "The output you selected is inside a collection and needs to be looped over to be accessed. This action cannot be inside a foreach."
After some research, I know what's going on here. Table1 is an Array, and I need to tell PowerAutomate to just grab the first record of that array so it knows it's working with just a record instead of a full array. Fair enough. So I spin up a "Return Values to Virtual Power Agents" action just to see my output. I know I'm supposed to use a 'first' expression or a 'get [0] from array expression here, but I can't seem to make them work. Below are what I've tried and the errors I get:
Tried:
first(body('Parse-Sproc')?['Table1/SiteConfigID'])
Got: InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Return_value(s)_to_Power_Virtual_Agents' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language function 'first' expects its parameter be an array or a string. The provided value is of type 'Null'. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#first for usage details.'.
Also Tried:
body('Parse-Sproc')?['Table1/SiteconfigID']
which just returns a null valued variable
Finally I tried
outputs('Parse-Sproc')?['Table1']?['value'][0]?['SiteConfigID']
Which STILL gives me a null-valued variable. It's the worst.
In that last expression, I also switched the variable type in the return to pva action to a string instead of a number, no dice.
Also, changed 'outputs' in that expression for 'body' .. also no dice
Here is a screenie of the setup:
To be clear: the end result i'm looking for is for the system to just return "SiteConfigID" as a string or an int so that I can pipe that into a virtual agent.
I believe this is what you need as an expression ...
body('Parse-Sproc')?['ResultSets']['Table1'][0]?['SiteConfigID']
You can see I'm just traversing down to the object and through the array to get the value.
Naturally, I don't have your exact flow but if I use your JSON and load it up into Parse JSON step to get the schema, I am able to get the result. I do get a different schema to you though so will be interesting to see if it directly translates.
How do I create an object if one is not found? This is the query I was running:
#event_object = #event_entry.event_objects.find_all_by_plantype('dog')
and I was trying this:
#event_object = EventObject.new unless #event_entry.event_objects.find_all_by_plantype('dog')
but that does not seem to work. I know I'm missing something very simple like normal :( Thanks for any help!!! :)
find_all style methods return an array of matching records. That is an empty array if no matching records are found. And an empty is truthy. Which means:
arr = []
if arr
puts 'arr is considered turthy!' # this line will execute
end
Also, the dynamic finder methods (like find_by_whatever) are officially depreacted So you shouldn't be using them.
You probably want something more like:
#event_object = #event_entry.event_objects.where(plantype: 'dog').first || EventObject.new
But you can also configure the event object better, since you obviously want it to belong to #event_entry.
#event_object = #event_entry.event_objects.where(plantype: 'dog').first
#event_object ||= #event_entry.event_objects.build(plantype: dog)
In this last example, we try to find an existing object by getting an array of matching records and asking for the first item. If there are no items, #event_object will be nil.
Then we use the ||= operator that says "assign the value on the right if this is currently set to a falsy value". And nil is falsy. So if it's nil we can build the object form the association it should belong to. And we can preset it's attributes while we are at it.
Why not use built in query methods like find_or_create_by or find_or_initialize_by
#event_object = #event_entry.event_objects.find_or_create_by(plantype:'dog')
This will find an #event_entry.event_object with plantype = 'dog' if one does not exist it will then create one instead.
find_or_initialize_by is probably more what you want as it will leave #event_object in an unsaved state with just the association and plantype set
#event_object = #event_entry.event_objects.find_or_initialize_by(plantype:'dog')
This assumes you are looking for a single event_object as it will return the first one it finds with plantype = 'dog'. If more than 1 event_object can have the plantype ='dog' within the #event_entry scope then this might not be the best solution but it seems to fit with your description.
I'm trying to perform this non-basic query with Rails :
proj_repartitions = ProjRepartition.includes(:proj_contributions).find( proj_project.proj_charges.each{|pc| pc.proj_repartition_id} )
The point is I need to pass an array of 'ids' to the find method.
I want to extract those 'ids' from an array of ActiveRecord objects where each of these is equipped with an 'id' attribute.
When I try on the Rails console:
proj_project.proj_charges.each{|pc| pc.proj_repartition_id}
I got exactly the same array as proj_project.proj_charges
What am I doing wrong?
=== UPDATE ===
According to the answers, my definitive working code is:
proj_project.proj_charges.collect{|pc| pc.proj_repartition_id}
Instead of using each try map or collect - they should return an array.
Each only executes the do block code for each item but doesn't "save" the return value.
Collect and Map executes the do block code for each item and the return value in an array.
hope that makes sense
proj_project.proj_charges.map(&:proj_repartition_id)
Short way of writing
proj_project.proj_charges.map{|pc| pc.proj_repartition_id}
This is a sort of followup to my other MongoDB question about the torrent indexer.
I'm making an open source torrent indexer (like a mini TPB, in essence), and offer both SQLite and MongoDB for backend, currently.
However, I'm having trouble with the MongoDB part of it. In Sinatra, I get when trying to upload a torrent, or search for one.
In uploading, one needs to tag the torrent — and it fails here. The code for adding tags is as follows:
def add_tag(tag)
if $sqlite
unless tag_exists? tag
$db.execute("insert into #{$tag_table} values ( ? )", tag)
end
id = $db.execute("select oid from #{$tag_table} where tag = ?", tag)
return id[0]
elsif $mongo
unless tag_exists? tag
$tag.insert({:tag => tag})
end
return $tag.find({:tag => tag})[:_id] #this is the line it presumably crashes on
end
end
It reaches line 105 (noted above), and then fails. What's going on? Also, as an FYI this might turn into a few other questions as solutions come in.
Thanks!
EDIT
So instead of returning the tag result with [:_id], I changed the block inside the elsif to:
id = $tag.find({:tag => tag})
puts id.inspect
return id
and still get an error. You can see a demo at http://torrent.hypeno.de and the source at http://github.com/tekknolagi/indexer/
Given that you are doing an insert(), the easiest way to get the id is:
id = $tag.insert({:tag => tag})
id will be a BSON::ObjectId, so you can use appropriate methods depending on the return value you want:
return id # BSON::ObjectId('5017cace1d5710170b000001')
return id.to_s # "5017cace1d5710170b000001"
In your original question you are trying to use the Collection.find() method. This returns a Mongo::Cursor, but you are trying to reference the cursor as a document. You need to iterate over the cursor using each or next, eg:
cursor = $tag.find_one({:tag => tag})
return cursor.next['_id'];
If you want a single document, you should be using Collection.find_one().
For example, you can find and return the _id using:
return $tag.find_one({:tag => tag})['_id']
I think the problem here is [:_id]. I dont know much about Mongo but `$tag.find({:tag => tag}) is probably retutning an array and passing a symbol to the [] array operator is not defined.
I'm using the Foursquare API, and I want to extract the "id" value from this hash
[{"id"=>"4fe89779e4b09fd3748d3c5a", "name"=>"Hitcrowd", "contact"=>{"phone"=>"8662012805", "formattedPhone"=>"(866) 201-2805", "twitter"=>"hitcrowd"}, "location"=>{"address"=>"1275 Glenlivet Drive", "crossStreet"=>"Route 100", "lat"=>40.59089895083072, "lng"=>-75.6291255071468, "postalCode"=>"18106", "city"=>"Allentown", "state"=>"Pa", "country"=>"United States", "cc"=>"US"}, "categories"=>[{"id"=>"4bf58dd8d48988d125941735", "name"=>"Tech Startup", "pluralName"=>"Tech Startups", "shortName"=>"Tech Startup", "icon"=>"https://foursquare.com/img/categories/shops/technology.png", "parents"=>["Professional & Other Places", "Offices"], "primary"=>true}], "verified"=>true, "stats"=>{"checkinsCount"=>86, "usersCount"=>4, "tipCount"=>0}, "url"=>"http://www.hitcrowd.com", "likes"=>{"count"=>0, "groups"=>[]}, "beenHere"=>{"count"=>0}, "storeId"=>""}]
When I try to extract it by using ['id'], I get this error can't convert Symbol into Integer. How do I extract the value using ruby? Also, how do I do this for multiple hashes extracting the "id" value each time?
Please pardon my inexperience. Thanks!
It's wrapped in an array, that's what the [ and ] mean on the start and end. But it also looks like this array only one object in it, which is the hash you really want.
So assuming you want the first object in this array:
mydata[0]['id'] # or mydata.first['id'] as Factor Mystic suggests
But usually when an API returns an Array there is a reason (it might return many results instead of just one), and naively plucking the first item from it my not be what you want. So be sure you are getting the kind of data you really expect before hard coding this into your application.
For multiple hashes, if you want to do something with the id (run a procedure of some kind) then
resultsArray.each do |person|
id = person["id"] #then do something with the id
end
If you want to just get an array containing the ids then
resultsArray.map{|person| person["id"]}
# ["4fe89779e4b09fd3748d3c5a", "5df890079e4b09fd3748d3c5a"]
To just grab the one item from the array, see Alex Wayne's answer
To get an array of ids, try: resultsArray.map { |result| result["id"] }
