I was trying to use the "includes" method for an array in Google Apps Script but it fails with "Cannot find function includes in object 1,4,3,7. (line 4, file "test_array"). Here is the code:
function test_array() {
var array1 = [1,4,3,7];
Logger.log(Array.isArray(array1)); // returns true
var proof = array1.includes("A");
// proof fails with "Cannot find function includes in object 1,4,3,7.
// (line 4, file "test_array")
Logger.log(proof);
}
In the logs I see that the Logger.log() returns true. I worked around this with:
function test_array() {
var array1 = [1,4,3,7];
Logger.log(Array.isArray(array1)); // returns true
var proof = array1.indexOf("A"); // Works fine
Logger.log(proof);
}
But I still want to know why the includes method fails on a variable the compiler says is an array. Could it be that it is considering it to be an array of arrays, i.e. an object?
Thanks,
includesreturn, if it fails?Array.prototype.includesis fairly recent, the version of js is probably older.indexOfinstead.
