Bug with Parallel function (Node.js) when having ServerConnect Libraries

[Elias]

Hi,

I am trying to use 2 ServerConnect libraries under the Parallel action of Node.JS in a ServerConnect API function as follows:

I am returning the output outside of the Parallel component, as follows:

The issue is the following:
Only one function Library will execute and return value whereas the other stays at null. There is no specific order to which functions runs, it might be one or the other.

In case I disable one function the second one works normally.

I believe it might be a bug in the Parallel component when running libraries?

Reviving this thread, anyone was able to make it work?

Unfortunately, I don’t think such bug will be solved in the near-future

I once took the liberty to see how the Parallel step was implemented, and it was a very confusing journey:

Parallel Repeat

As @Apple already figured out it is not easy to implement in the current Server Connect due how the data scoping works. Having the actions run in parallel will make them overwrite each others data and it would probably require a big rewrite of the core to make it work.

Oh I see, too bad. Thanks for your feedback
