TypeError Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'event')

Encountered this error when running the test after setting up the task tracker:

TypeError
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'event')

I saw ticket #14 on "Cannot read properties of undefined" where you suggested to test the trigger event. I have tested trigger event but still get the above error.

What should I do?

Hi @adelehuu, could you post a Loom recording or screenshots showing the details?

Hi @TomFrankly thanks for replying. Here's a Loom recording of what's going on. I realized that I have this error even with the Recurring Tasks template you kindly provided, and I'm using the template here to run this. I get the same error when I run it with my own setup...

Please let me know if you have any thoughts on how to solve this...

Thanks!!

@adelehuu found the problem!

This property should have been auto-filled with the value {{steps}} – that's how steps in Pipedream are able to reference values from other steps.

When you used my template, did it not automatically bring that value in?

[adelehuu]

@TomFrankly that's a very good point that you caught. Keen eye!

Hmm, so it does not seem to auto-fill, is there a manual fill that I should put in? or wondering if you have any suggestions on what I may have changed to make the auto-fill disappear? Maybe I could change it back...

Thanks so much for the efficient trouble-shooting!

It's odd that it wasn't auto-filled for you - I tested the workflow link this morning and it was there for me.

In any case, all you need to do is type {{steps}} in that field with the curly braces!
