    you are inside the callback of the request,so ‘this’ I pointing to some request object and not the node_helper instance…

    sooooo

    before request(…

    add
    let self = this

    and change this. to self.

    object oriented programming is tricky

      @SopaMaruchan and {foo} is unnecessary

      you could just use
      res.body

      it’s the same stuff, why waste memory w a new pointer only being used once

      (same w info there too)

        @sdetweil Hahahaha true that!
        Kinda fixed it guided by your recommendations but the thing is that I’m still getting the same output: 098fca99-2a82-4ccd-8758-b81dcaedc3b6-image.png
        Here the code:

              Does it help if I tell you that I got everything on my onstart function of the node_helper file?

                  @SopaMaruchan I’m realizing that my my receiveSocketNotification is not being triggered on my MM-Module file:
                  f111ce89-0276-4196-a41b-2ad73b016eaa-image.png
                  I logged some text after calling receiveSocketNotification function but there’s no output on console.

                  node_helper:

                      let self=this

                      has to be inside the getBill() function
                      otherwise it could be set wrong…
