/usr/local/lib/node_modules/kaltura/KalturaVO.js:function KalturaMediaEntryFilter(){

Yeah, for some reason the module is not being exported with my setup.

I had to use

 var Kaltura =  require('Kaltura/KalturaClient');

To get the client working, trying to work out why the KalturaMediaEntryFilter is not available …

avrono · November 9, 2015, 2:05pm

There is something broken in this module, will try work it out … but just so you know …

avrono · November 9, 2015, 2:06pm

Same result … undefined

avrono · November 9, 2015, 2:22pm

I can see the object in the Client Object … there must be something wrong with the way the module export is being done ?
Do you need to define a module.exports = { } before populating … I am not a node expert, in the past I always have used

module.exports = {

    add: function(x, y, z) {
    },
    remove: function(x,y,z) {
    }

}

etc …

var type = require(‘kaltura/KalturaVO’);
var filter = new type.KalturaMediaEntryFilter();
var pager = new type.KalturaFilterPager();
//var filter = new Filter();
filter.referenceIdEqual = “11111”;

var res = client.media.list(mycb, filter, pager)

Now getting client.media.list is not a function

Hi,

Where do you instantiate the client? do not see it in the code you pasted…

avrono · November 10, 2015, 9:54am

I can see a “listAction” defined, not a list … my client seems ok from the object dump.
When I use client.media.listAction

var client = new Kaltura.KalturaClient(config);    client.session.start(function(ks) {
if (ks.code && ks.message) {
            console.log('Error starting session', success, ks);
        } else {
            client.setKs(ks);
            console.log("Success: " + require('util').inspect(client, false, null));
        }
    }, "xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "yyyy@vvvvv.com",
    Kaltura.enums.KalturaSessionType.ADMIN,
    0000000);

Hello,

Yes, this is due to:

github.com

kaltura/server/blob/Kajam-11.2.0/generator/NodeClientGenerator.php#L224


		{
			
			if($action->result->attributes()->type == 'file')
				continue;
			
			$actionDesc = "/**\n";
			// to format multi-line descriptions
			$description = array_map('trim', explode("\n", trim($action->attributes()->description, ".\n\t\r "))); 
			$description = implode("\n * ", $description);
			$actionDesc .= " * $description.\n";
			$actionsList .= " * @action " . $action->attributes()->name . " $description.\n";
			
			foreach($action->children() as $actionParam)
			{
				if($actionParam->getName() == 'param')
				{
					$paramType = $actionParam->attributes()->type;
					$paramType = $this->getJSType($paramType);
					$paramName = $actionParam->attributes()->name;
					$optionalp = (boolean) $actionParam->attributes()->optional;
					$defaultValue = trim($actionParam->attributes()->default);

github.com

kaltura/server/blob/Kajam-11.2.0/generator/NodeClientGenerator.php#L272


			//create a service action
			$actionName = $action->attributes()->name;
			
			$paramNames = array('callback');
			foreach($action->children() as $actionParam)
				if($actionParam->getName() == 'param')
					$paramNames[] = $actionParam->attributes()->name;
			$paramNames = join(', ', $paramNames);
			
			// action method signature
			if(in_array($actionName, array('list', 'clone', 'delete', 'export'))) // because list & clone are preserved in PHP
				$actionSignature = "$serviceClassName.prototype." . $actionName . "Action = function($paramNames)";
			else
				$actionSignature = "$serviceClassName.prototype." . $actionName . " = function($paramNames)";
			
			$actionClass .= $actionSignature . "{\n";
			
			//validate parameter default values
			foreach($action->children() as $actionParam)
			{
				if($actionParam->getName() != 'param')

It was done so because ‘list’ is a preserved word in PHP, in JS, it actually isn’t but that is the origin of the issue.
Please use listAction()

Thanks,

avrono · November 10, 2015, 4:09pm

Thanks, I have tried using listAction, but i can’t get any response other than undefined …

  var mycb = function(success, results) {
    if(!success) {
        console.log("failed:" + results);
    } else {
        console.log("passed:" + results);
    }

};
var res = client.media.listAction(mycb, filter, pager);

The callback gets a “success” but the result is undefined , so the output reads
passed: undefined

avrono · November 10, 2015, 4:24pm

this is the actual request being sent with some signatures changed etc …

Actually in the RAW HTTP Log I can see the data …

jess · November 10, 2015, 4:35pm

Please share the full code so I can help you further.

avrono · November 10, 2015, 4:35pm

In the callback function the results are not set , but the data comes back in the first success parameter

avrono · November 10, 2015, 4:37pm

It took a lot of reverse engineering to get this to work. Firstly the way the module exports work and then the way in which the data is handled compared to how it is documented. I think these should be fixed

jess · November 10, 2015, 4:43pm

We are always happy to get contributions, both to code and to documentation:)
See https://github.com/kaltura/platform-install-packages/blob/Kajam-11.2.0/doc/Contributing-to-the-Kaltura-Platform.md for additional info.

avrono · November 10, 2015, 4:48pm

Ok, I will see what I can do

jess · November 10, 2015, 4:59pm

Also, for code reference with NodeJS, look at developer.kaltura.org which contains actual code examples using the API, one of the available langs is NodeJS.

avrono · November 10, 2015, 5:08pm

The NodeJS ones need some work … I have looked at it before … tks for the help.

jess · November 10, 2015, 5:10pm

Welcome and again, will be happy to get feedback as to what you feel needs changing.
