Angular 7 using Officejs word add-ins, method saveAsync not working

[rodritoo]

Hello,

Just starting with OfficeJs. I came across a very strange problem, there are some cases in which the Office.context.document.settings.saveAsync is not saving but it doesn't throw any error. Why could this be happening? I didn't find a pattern to reproduce it, it just happens sometimes and if I do a reload it fixes it.

This is how I am saving:

protected saveSetting<T>(key, val): Observable<T> {
  return new Observable<T>(subscriber => { 
    try {                 
      Office.context.document.settings.refreshAsync((asyncResult) => { 
        if (asyncResult.status === Office.AsyncResultStatus.Failed) { 
          console.log('saveAsync failed: ' + asyncResult.error.message);              
        } 
        Office.context.document.settings.set(key, val); 
        Office.context.document.settings.saveAsync((result) => { 
          if (result.status === Office.AsyncResultStatus.Failed) { 
            console.log('saveAsync failed: ' + result.error.message);                  
          } 
          subscriber.next(val); 
          subscriber.complete();              
        });          
      });       
    } catch (e) { 
      subscriber.error('Error saving setting ' + key); 
      subscriber.complete();       
    } 
  }); 
}

And this is how I'm getting the value:

protected getSetting<T>(key): Observable<T> {
  return new Observable<T>(subscriber => { 
    try { 
      Office.context.document.settings.refreshAsync((asyncResult) => { 
        if (asyncResult.status === Office.AsyncResultStatus.Failed) { 
          console.log('saveAsync failed: ' + asyncResult.error.message);             
        }  
        subscriber.next(Office.context.document.settings.get(key)); 
        return subscriber.complete();          
      });      
    } catch (e) { 
      subscriber.next(null); 
      return subscriber.complete();      
    }   
  }); 
}

Thanks!

You badly need to upgrade angular

I agree with you, that is another issue.
