updateOrAddData in Table not working

[derFrickler]

Which node are you reporting an issue on?

ui-table

What are the steps to reproduce?

send this message to table:

{"command":"updateOrAddData","arguments":[{"linkquality":2,"name":"Router_KG","id":1}]}

What happens?

No Row is added to the table, the Browser shows the following error:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: data.forEach is not a function

What do you expect to happen?

Row should be added or replaced in the table.

Please tell us about your environment:

• [ 1.1.03] Node-RED version:
• [v10.22.0 ] node.js version:
• npm version:
• [Ubuntu Linux] Platform/OS:
• [ Firefox] Browser:

Might be the same as there: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53275405/typeerror-data-foreach-is-not-a-function/53275463
Meaning the data object needs to be parsed on arrival, but no Idea on where to add this.

Hi @derFrickler

sorry I haven't spotted your issue.

Think I spotted your problem.

UpdateOrAddData expects an array as you can add multiple clees / lines in one command. Arguments is an array of arguments itself. So:

{"command":"updateOrAddData",
  "arguments":[
    [
      {"linkquality":2,"name":"Router_KG","id":1}
    ]
  ]
}

should work. ui-table does not perform a validation of commands and parameters.

As a "testbench" you can use the Example "4 Sending Commands"

I had a similar issue with the replaceData function. It wasn't obvious to me that I needed to encapsulate the data in another array.
