Exception while invoking method 'getChartData' Error: IndexMissingException[[api-umbrella-logs-v1-2015-01] missing]

[brylie]

On the dashboard when interacting with the filter, the following exception is logged when only the month has been selected:

Exception while invoking method 'getChartData' Error:  IndexMissingException[[api-umbrella-logs-v1-2015-01] missing]
at Object.search (packages/meteorhacks_async/packages/meteorhacks_async.js:79:1)
at [object Object].doSearch (packages/frenchbread_elastic-rest/packages/frenchbread_elastic-rest.js:59:1)
at [object Object].Meteor.methods.getChartData (server/methods/elasticSearch.js:45:1)

Additionally, the 'Data Not Found' dialogue appears, suggesting the dashboard filter is missing exception handling when retrieving data from Elastic.

Steps to reproduce

1. log in to the system as an admin user (to ensure you can access analytics data)
2. go to the dashboard
3. click a month from the dropdown (e.g. January)
4. check the server console

@frenchbread can you please take a look at this? Check if you can reproduce the error.

Related issue #585

[frenchbread]

@brylie This error appears every time when specified query does not match document in ES data store. I guess we can get rid of it by using try-carch approach when requesting for data.

[frenchbread]

I was thinking of this approach when solving #582, #583, #585.

[frenchbread]

As I mentioned in a comment, as far as I understand there is either search results or an error returned from ES. So we don't have much context at this point. Meaning that we can return a single error if try{ } fails, e.g. :

try{
    newSearch.doSeach(query)
}catch(err){
    return "Data not found...".
}

OK, cool. Be sure to add i18n tags on any user-facing text.

[frenchbread]

@brylie How to access i18n file to be able to fetch its tags in js file?

[brylie]

Check the tap:i18n docs. It has a JS function to get a translation string.

You will have to determine whether to fetch the translation on the client or server, as they have slightly different methods (i.e. on the server, the user language is not a reactive variable).

Added changes to PR #608. Please take a look.

@frenchbread Did this get solved? Or does it need more work?
