Issue with ajax request

[GrBr]

Hello,

I am currently learning to code for Confluence and I am hitting a bit of a wall that nobody can help me with, so here I am. I am trying to do a simple Ajax request to get a piece of information from our API, and I know my URL works (Postman validated), but nothing comes out of the request, as if it never went into the "done" part.

function getTestVersionText(templateData) {
    var final_value;
    var myurl="url_that_works"

    AJS.$.ajax({
        dataType: 'json',
        url: myurl,
        async: false
    }).done(function () {
        final_value = response.issues[0].key;
    }).error(function (xhr, status, error) {
        displayErrorMessage("error_message_tailored_for_company");
    });
    return final_value;
}

  Anything that jumps to your eyes as to why this wouldn't work ? If I make the function just return a value directly it shows on the page, so the xml and mapping xml/js page are ok.

Thank you

You were missing a reference to response for a start.

Try something like this:

function getTestVersionText () {

  var yourUrl = "/some/path/that/works"

  AJS.$.ajax({
    url: yourUrl,
    type: "GET",
    dataType: "json",
    success: function (response) { 
      // callback here
      console.log('success', response);
    }, 
    error: function (xhr, status, error) {
      // callback here
      console.error('error', { xhr, status, error });
    }
  });
  // do not return here - use the callback functions success/error
}
