Issue parsing JSON from API Call
I am attempting to migrate an API call from Flutterflow to Buildship, but cannot get the output schema to work correctly.
In Flutterflow the output JSON path is: $.agentReasoning[:].state.transcriptName
So an array, with an object, with a string.
I thought this would be pretty straightforward in BuildShip, but get the error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'transcriptName')

To troubleshoot and resolve the issue with the output schema in BuildShip, please follow these steps:
1. Check Node Configuration: Ensure that the node you are using in BuildShip correctly maps to the structure of the JSON output you are expecting.
2. Parse JSON Properly: Make sure that you're parsing the JSON response correctly. Use the appropriate node (like a "Parse JSON" node) to convert the JSON response string into a usable JavaScript object before accessing its properties.
3. Access Properties Safely: When accessing nested properties in JavaScript, you should use safe access methods, like optional chaining (
?.) if available. This helps prevent runtime errors if any property along the chain is undefined.
4. Debugging Output: Add logging within the workflow (if supported) to print out the response object and check where undefined might be occurring.
5. Review JSON Path Matching: Verify that the JSON path you’re using maps exactly to the structure that Buildship receives. In some cases, minor differences in the structure might lead you to access an incorrect level of the response hierarchy.
6. Error Handling: Implement error-checking mechanisms to catch exceptions and handle errors in accessing JSON properties, allowing you to debug more effectively.
If you continue experiencing issues, try to simulate the API response locally, and adjust your JSON path accordingly. If you have access to the response structure, ensure it matches exactly with what BuildShip expects for seamless data manipulation.
