TypeError and Wait Timer

[pezhorEL]

Sometimes (but not everytime), my wait time calculation script bombs out with this error:

TypeError: Cannot find function SetHours in object Tue Mar 18 2014 14:02:56 GMT-0400 (EDT). (Workflow:Install SQL / Calculate Wait (working) (item11)#17)

Any Ideas? (NextPool is used for a WaitTimer)

OUT:

NextPoll (Date)

SCRIPT:

/* */
var waitTime = 2; // Polling Interval


workflowScheduleDate = new Date(); //this is now


// If minutes is less than 59
if ((workflowScheduleDate.getMinutes() + waitTime) < 59) {
  // Then let's add a minute to that
  workflowScheduleDate.setMinutes(workflowScheduleDate.getMinutes() + waitTime);
} else {


  // we're at 59 minutes already, add a minute (by rolling over to 60, e.g. 0)
  workflowScheduleDate.setMinutes(waitTime);

  // If hours is less than 23
  if (workflowScheduleDate.getHours() < 23) {
  // Let's add an hour to that (because we rolled over minutes
  workflowScheduleDate.SetHours(workflowScheduleDate.getHours() +1);
  } else {

  // We need to roll over our day
  workflowScheduleDate.setHours(0);
  }
}


// Set the Next scheduled time
NextPoll = workflowScheduleDate;

/* */

(And if anyone can tell me how to make this post format the script in a nice manner, I'm all ears)

EDIT: I realize that this doesn't quite do exactly what I need it to do (the rolling over kinda works, kind of doesn't), you can ignore that for now.

Javascript is case-sensitive, so you should use setHours() with lower-case 's'. Something like

workflowScheduleDate.setHours(workflowScheduleDate.getHours() +1);

and not

workflowScheduleDate.SetHours(workflowScheduleDate.getHours() +1);

For syntax highlighting of code, there is a link 'Use advanced editor' in the upper right part of the reply window. Click on the link, and then on the 'Insert' blue button that looks like '>>'.

1) Thanks for the code formatting

2) That totally explains why it sometimes works/sometimes doesn't.
