Intermittent problem when calling account.createCampaign

[roundrobin]

While 3/4 calls work, every other call I'm getting the following error message when calling account.createCampaign:

{ message: 'Unsupported post request. Object with ID \'SOME_CAMPAIGN_ID\' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api',
        type: 'GraphMethodException',
        code: 100,
        error_subcode: 33,
        fbtrace_id: 'DV8Huvneiyi' }

is it possible something is being cached in the background from a previous call?

For context: I'm calling the method from within a Express endpoint.

Could you forward me the exact code that you are using? I'd like to debug through it since I am not able to reproduce the issue.

 account
        .createCampaign([], {
            [Campaign.Fields.name]: "Campaign name",
            [Campaign.Fields.status]: Campaign.Status.paused,
            [Campaign.Fields.objective]: "LINK_CLICKS",
            [Campaign.Fields.spend_cap]: 12000
        })
        .then(campaign => {
            console.log("integration:facebook:createdCampaign", campaign);
        });

What surprises me is that the error message knows about a campaign id (SOME_CAMPAIGN_ID ) even though at this point the campaign creation didn't go through.

Not sure if this helps, but here is a stack trace that is printed in the terminal.

@zanyaziz Let me know, I can also provide a lightweight example within a express.js app.

@roundrobin Hey, I've got bug that acts same as you described, also the stacktrace is same. It happens when I make subsequent requests and it's because the AdAccountId (or whatever other id should be in the request url) is different (f. e. not the one I entered as argument when creating AdAccount).

Can you please check if it happens to you too?

{ error:
      { message: 'Unsupported post request. Object with ID \'12033000xxx\' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api',
        type: 'GraphMethodException',
        code: 100,

  method: 'POST',

@zanyaziz Okay, so here you have a snippet that shows how i made it work again:
(also try to comment out the line I marked to see the error)

const { FacebookAdsApi, AdAccount, Ad, AdCreative } = require('facebook-nodejs-ads-sdk')
const config = require('../config')

const fbAdsApi = FacebookAdsApi.init(config.fb.marketingApiKey)

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
  fbAdsApi.setDebug(true)
}

const fbAccount = new AdAccount('act_' + config.fb.marketingAdId)

module.exports.createAd = async function createAd(survey) {
  const adCreativeResponse = await fbAccount.createAdCreative(
    [],
    {
      [AdCreative.Fields.name]: survey.title,
      [AdCreative.Fields.title]: survey.title,
      [AdCreative.Fields.body]: survey.description,
      [AdCreative.Fields.link_url]: 'https://google.com,
      [AdCreative.Fields.object_url]: 'https://google.com',
      [AdCreative.Fields.image_url]: survey.photo.url
    }
  )

// HERE:
// this is how I set the right id and this solves the issue, I think this can help you find where the problem is
  fbAccount._data.id = 'act_' + config.fb.marketingAdId

// This second part throws error, but completely different and related to fields
  const adResponse = await fbAccount.createAd(
    [],
    {
      [Ad.Fields.name]: `Survey with title: ${survey.title}`,
      [Ad.Fields.creative]: { creative_id: adCreativeResponse.id },
      [Ad.Fields.status]: Ad.Status.paused
    }
  )

  return adResponse
}
