Function node error - "TypeError: msg.payload[0].filter is not a function"

[sneakynuts]

I have flow which has been working just fine up until i updated the unifi node.
Now i get an error:
"TypeError: msg.payload[0].filter is not a function"
I'll be honest and say i no nothing about writing function nodes, so im not exactly sure how to dubug this error...but will assume the message arriving has changed in some way
Appreciate any advice
Cheers

Is payload[0] an array? as filter is an array method.

[sneakynuts]

I believe so

@sneakynuts

I believe so

@E1cid asked "Is payload[0] an array?"

msg.payload is an array - we can see that from screenshot however msg.payload[0] is the first element inside msg.payload & we cannot see what is inside the payload array because its not expanded in your screenshot.

Are you certain you didnt mean to do msg.payload.filter()?

[sneakynuts]

I expanded the array, and it shows as an object?

@Steve-Mcl

Are you certain you didnt mean to do msg.payload.filter()?

Not sure tbh, ive copied this function node from elsewhere, and ony changed the client device names its searching for

[Steve-Mcl]

then I can asure you .filter is NOT and object function

In otherwords, msg.payload IS and array and .filter is an array function.

In short, change msg.payload[0].filter( to msg.payload.filter(

[sneakynuts]

Thanks
That change done the trick!
Tho now i get a red triangle above the node when i deploy, although the node/flow still works correctly

[Steve-Mcl]

What version of node-red?

Can you share the full script?

[sneakynuts]

Version 3.0.2

By script, what do you mean sorry?

[sneakynuts]

Think i worked it out.
I had the number of outputs set to 4, but only 3 devices being looked for.
Changed output to 3 and error triangle now gone!

[sneakynuts]

Appreciate everyones help!

Glad I searched, also had this randomly stop working as well. I have never quite understood the second half of this code. Thanks for the fix!
