Pat can you post your whole snippet, it looks like a real doozie. I have a theory that you might be running into issues with asynchrosity and callbacks. Because a save takes a second or 2 to communicate with the server, you can run into issues when your snippet keeps on going and doesn’t wait for your save to finish. You can pass a function into the save function to force it to run after the save finishes.
function myFunctionThatWillHappenAfterTheSave(){<br> alert('Hello World');<br>}<br>//the function will not be run until the save finishes...<br>myModel.save(myFunctionThatWillHappenAfterTheSave());

Asynchronous and callbacks. I learned those the hard way today. Boiled my snippet down to absolute barebones and kept getting odd behaviour. Thought I was using the callback option properly. Didn’t realize that I needed to type out “callback: function(result)…” Barebones snippet works now. Going to bed.
Glad you figured it out Pat, bummer it was the hard way…
Moshe’s correct, calls to model.save() or model.updateData() are asynchronous, which means that you can’t have code like the following:
1 model.updateData();
2 model.deactivateCondition(condition)…
Because Line 2 will not wait for Line 1 to finish before it runs, so you’ll get unexpected behavior.
Unfortunately Skuid’s API’s with callbacks are slightly different for updateData() and save(), but I recommend using the Promise based approach instead, which is consistent for both:
// UPDATE DATA
$.when(model.updateData())
.done(function(result){
var condition = model.getConditionByName(‘MyCondition’);
model.deactivateCondition(condition);
})
.fail(function(result){
console.log(‘there was a problem’);
});
// SAVE
$.when(model.save())
.done(function(result){
if (result.totalsuccess) {
console.log(‘heck yeah’);
} else {
console.log(‘something went wrong…’);
console.log(result);
}
})
.fail(function(result){
console.log(‘there was a really bad problem, like connecting to the server’);
});
Perfect! Explains a few things trying to use the callbacks of each.
I’d say I’m starting to encroach on intermediate level javascript. At least hopefully I’d like to think so. 
Pat I would say that you’re higher than intermediate already! But anyway I kind of forgot about the difference between :
model.save(callback:myCallbackFunction());
and
model.updateData(myCallbackFunction);
I would recommend this post as a simple explanation of what exactly a callback is/does:
http://www.impressivewebs.com/callback-functions-javascript/
Did you get your snippet working?
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Really pushing hard to get this down to the same thing as typing an email. A few months to go before that happens I’d say.
Certainly going to read that article.
I got the barebones version of it working now. Should be pretty quick to get it going.
Can I use the “$.when” on “sforce.connection.remoteFunction”?
No, that’s a Salesforce API method and they don’t implement the $.when() approach.
Do you know of a way to do a callback on this salesforce API from javascript?
The forecast.io api does have callback option, but I’m not too sure how to implement it. Any ideas?
https://developer.forecast.io/docs/v2
I’d otherwise use this suggestion if I didn’t have to use sforce.connection.remoteFunction.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18132790/forecast-io-api-usage-with-jquery
This should work, just dump all of your code inside the save:
model.save({callback:function(){ <br>sforce.connection.remoteFunction({<br> url : forecastUrl, <br> requestHeaders: {<br> "Authorization": "Bearer "+ sessionId, <br> "Content-Type": "application/json"<br> }, <br> method: "GET", <br> onSuccess : function(response) { <br> <br> var objJSON = JSON.parse(response);<br>//etc....<br>}<br>});<br>}});
Wait. The callback function is run before or after the save method?
After
Great, perfect & awesome!
TADA!!!
The code changed so so much. Didn’t really get asynchronous and callbacks til now.
