number is not a function in async

Doppy

I need to get id from user by an username so I do this:

			user.getUidByEmail(username,function(err,id){
				if(err){
					return next(err);
				}
				next(null,parseInt(id));
			}); ```

I Obtain this exception:

number is not a function.

Anyone can help me?

Post a link to you repo, or more code.

@baris I need to ask a think. I change username of a user that has like username "lupo". I change in another username "username_deleted". But when I log in with username "lupo" and password the login works and open the profile "username_deleteted". So it seems that I can access with the old username and with the new. How is it possibile this? I need to change finally the username. can you say me any method that I can use to do this?

<baris>

You need to call User.updateProfile method and pass in the new username.

user.updateProfile(uid, {username: 'newUsername'}, callback); The function will send back an error if the username is already taken.

Doppy

@baris thanks it works. I wrong because I used:

user.setUserField

and not user.updateProfile. But there is another question if I do this

var id=30;
var username_mod='usernameDelete' + 40;
			user.updateProfile(id, {username: username_mod}, next);

I Obtain:

TypeError: params.message.trim is not a function

the line is 28892 and it is:

params.message = params.message ? params.message.trim() : '';


How is it possible this?

Please post the entire stack trace, and not just the error. Thanks.

@julian and @baris I resolve thanks for your support and your advice! The problem is that I put in my code an username too long!
