TypeError: Cannot read property 'offset' of undefined

See original GitHub issue

It seems that if some cells are empty, the select() method fails with the following error:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'offset' of undefined
at /node_modules/airtable/lib/query.js:109:28
at /node_modules/airtable/lib/run_action.js:70:17

This prevents all the other records to be read, so it is a pretty impacting issue. The library should just keep the empty value as an empty string or null or undefined. I.e. anything that does not crash.

I’ve seen this recently. It’s probably due to an error inside of the eachPage function. Try wrapping that into a try/catch :

ATBase("Items")
      .select({
        view: "Grid view"
      })
      .eachPage(
        function page(records, fetchNextPage) {
         try {
          records.forEach(function(record) {
            myArr.push({
              id: record.id,
              ...record._rawJson.fields
            });
          });
          } catch(e){ console.log('error inside eachPage => ',e)}
          fetchNextPage();
        },
        function done(err) {
          if (err) {
            console.error(err);
          } else {
            callback();
          }
        }
      );

Hello! You guys! This happens because the page tries to fetch the next nonexistent page, fix by:

          Base('Training Booked')
            .select({

                fields : ['Type of Training', 'Date & Time of Host'],
                filterByFormula :`AND(NOT(Confirmed), Token = '${Token}')`,


            }).eachPage( function page(records, next) {

                    records.forEach(function(rec) {

                        try {

                            ToReturn.push(rec)

                        } catch (err) {

                            console.error(err);

                        }

                    })

                    try { // HERE

                        next();

                    } catch { return; }

            }, function (err) {
                if (err) {

                    console.error(err);

                    rej(err.statusCode);
                    return;

                }

                acpt(ToReturn);
