TypeError: Cannot read property 'gmail' of undefined

问题

let fs = require('fs');
let google = require('googleapis');

getMessage(userId, messageId, callback) {
    let gmail = this.getGmailService();
    var request = google.client.gmail.users.messages.get({
        'userId': userId,
        'id': messageId
    });
    request.execute(callback);
}

when I call this method from a spec

getMessage('abcd123987@gmail.com', '15934550ay626ud09')

it spits out the following error

TypeError: Cannot read property 'gmail' of undefined

any comments/suggestions?

回答1:

There are 3 options: 1. You didn't install the googleapis node module. 2. You didn't import it well. 3. You didn't use it well.

Option 1 fix: Install the googleapis node module: yarn add googleapis

Option 2 fix: In the new version of googleapis (V26) I needed to change my import line to the following: var {google} = require('googleapis');

Option 3 fix: You are calling it via google.client.gmail, perhaps use just google.gmail
