Custom built connector: Why data cannot be sent to dataset?

I am new to custom connector.  Just built two, test runs on console looked good, but when I selected "create/update dataset", I ended up error, with an empty (0 col/0 row) dataset created.  Can someone help me troubleshoot?  I do not have duplicate column names, and made sure to have exactly the right amount of columns.......

    Thank you for your reply.

     

    The problem is on 61 of your code.  


    "datagrid.addColumn('error', datagrid.DATA_TYPE_BOOLEAN);"

    DATA_TYPE_BOOLEAN is not a supported type.  We support DATA_TYPE_STRING, DATA_TYPE_DATETIME and DATATYPE_DOUBLE. 

     

    Please note there are a few other rows that you have using DATA_TYPE_NUMBER which is also invalid, please use DATA_TYPE_DOUBLE.

    @Hua Are you still having this issue?

    I am no longer with Domo. Please @mention @Millhouse for connector specific questions.

    Is this still an issue?  If so, please reply with the url of your connector in the IDE and I will look into exactly why this is a problem.

    Thank you for your help.  Yes, I still have the issue.  Here is the link to my connector:

    https://developer.domo.com/builder/#/edit/4fd0d6e5-714f-41dc-887b-48f99a1dacb8

     

    To clarify, I haven't published my connector yet, and only testing how it works.  What I did is to check "Create/Update DataSet" option, exposed by clicking on "SEND TO DOMO" link.

    Thank you, @DarrelR.  It worked after changing data type as you suggested.

    I hope this type of unsurpported data types can be errored out during test run without Send to Domo option checked.
