Google Apps script - IN operator for minutes











up vote

I try to run a sequential code. First update should happen every 15 minutes, the second one always 3 minutes after the first one.



The code below runs every minute.



However, it never works in Google Apps Script. Any idea how to fix it?



I only came up with writing out the in clause to == and or. It does not look straight.



function update_per_1_min() {

var d = new Date();
var m = d.getMinutes();

var m = 16

if(m in [1.0,16.0,31.0,46.0]){

update_0()

} else if (m in [4,19,34,49]) {

update_1()
}
}

          in checks whether the expression is a property of the object. Arrays have properties like 0 for the first index, 1 for the second index, etc:






          const arr = ['foo', 'bar'];
          console.log('foo' in arr);
          console.log('0' in arr);





          Properties are not the same thing as values, of course. It looks like you're trying to check whether the value is contained in the array, in which case you could use .includes (if you were able to use ES6), or indexOf for GAS:



          function update_per_1_min() {
          var d = new Date();
          var m = d.getMinutes();
          if([1,16,31,46].indexOf(m) !== -1){
          update_0()
          } else if ([4,19,34,49].indexOf(m) !== -1) {
          update_1()
          }
          }


          (note that trailing zeros after the . in numbers is meaningless - feel free to leave those out entirely)
