can someone please help me

i keep getting this error "Please provide longitude as lon and latitude as lat as numbers/floats"

proquibas

@proquibas

@evan17gr can you share the output of console.log(getLatitude); and console.log(getLongitude); as well as var source = url + "lat=" +getLatitude + "&" + "lon=" + getLongitude;?

@proquibas

this is the output of the console

but its weird because i can't find anything wrong with it

proquibas

@proquibas

@evan17gr I think it's something wrong with yout "source" string. I try it directly in the browser and it works

Evan Kalvis

@evan17gr

@proquibas so im confused what am i supposed to change?

proquibas

@proquibas

I mean the "var source = url + "lat=" +getLatitude + "&" + "lon=" + getLongitude;" in your code, maybe it's wrong

Evan Kalvis

@evan17gr

i dont see what could be wrong with it though tbh @proquibas

proquibas

@proquibas

@evan17gr honestly I don't know where is the problem, check it https://repl.it/@jtejedera/CriticalFortunateQuadrant

Evan Kalvis

@evan17gr

that's so weird

thanks for the help @proquibas

proquibas

@proquibas

I think that is something about the format of the "source" string, the error message is about the lat/lon format

Evan Kalvis

@evan17gr

@proquibas i ve tried changing the format

like putting lon first and then lat

but still the same thing

proquibas

@proquibas

did you tried to hardcode the values in the "source" string?

Evan Kalvis

@evan17gr

just to test whether the coordinates are working?

proquibas

@proquibas

yes

like I did in the repl.it

try to know the type of the values given in the getUserPosition function using console.log(typeof getLatitude);

Evan Kalvis

@evan17gr

i tried to hard code it and the same error

@proquibas

proquibas

@proquibas

@evan17gr try this one:
//variables
var getLongtitude;
var getLatitude;
var api;
var url = "https://fcc-weather-api.glitch.me/api/current?";

//ask for users permission
window.onload = function getUsersPosition(){
if(navigator.geolocation){
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(getLatitudeAndLongtitude);
}
else{
alert("Your browser doesn't support geolocation");
}
}

//get the user's longtitude and latitude
function getLatitudeAndLongtitude(position){
getLatitude = position.coords.latitude;
getLongtitude = position.coords.longitude;
api = url + "lat=" +getLatitude + "&" + "lon=" + getLongtitude;
getObjs();
}

//new xmlhttprequest
function getObjs(){
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open("GET", api,true);
req.onload = function(){
const getText = JSON.parse(req.responseText);
console.log(getText);
}
req.send();
}

Evan Kalvis

@evan17gr

@proquibas im not getting any response in the console

actually now its working

thank you

Evan Kalvis

@evan17gr

would you be able to explain what the problem was because I'm still not sure what i was doing wrong? @proquibas

proquibas

@proquibas

@evan17gr your code is executing the http request before the user accept the popup, so you are sending "undefined" long/lat to the weather api

Evan Kalvis

@evan17gr

oh okay thank you now it makes sense @proquibas

proquibas

@proquibas

be welcome!

Hello guys, I have been getting a mongoose error "Can't save() doc multiple times". I posted the question on stackoverflow. Any assistance would be appreciated, thank you. Here's the link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61607900/updating-a-user-concurrently-in-mongoose-using-model-save-throws-error

unable to start nodemon via npm run dev

linkin-park

@linkin-park

node v12.13.0
npm version 6.13.1
package.json https://pastebin.com/Crcm0Y53

gives
sh: 1: nodemon: not found :(

Kris Baillargeon

@krisb1220

@linkin-park did you run npm update ?

@linkin-park Sometimes I have to install a module multiple times before it takes

I haven't tested it yet, but I believe it's because I never included the --save flag

Jason Luboff

@JLuboff

You don't need the --save flag, just running npm i module_Name will add it as a dependency. Generally though, one would use nodemon as a global dependency instead of a local/dev dependency

linkin-park

@linkin-park

Well it fails to do PATH hook , just checked the PATH env. (ill write a bash hook for this now :( )
The node_modules/.bin/ hook is not been added to PATH (as mentioned in the man page).
Using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Will also do npm update as mentioned by @krisb1220

still the same after npm update

Kris Baillargeon

@krisb1220

@linkin-park try this

sudo npm install -g --force nodemon

wait

you tried to start it using npm run dev ?
