Bug being solved:
Prior to these changes, if deleting a message threw an error, the script would stop deleting any more messages. This was inconvenient because on slower connections a deletion may time out from time to time and throw an error, which would cause the script to stop.
Changes:
Implementation:
I wrapped the code to delete a message in a do while block and used two variables to ensure the block would get run again if there was an error after trying to delete the message (for a maximum of 5 reattempts). If there was no error, the script would move on to the next message.
To ensure the script would continue working if there was an error when deleting the message, I nested the "if (!resp.ok)" statement within an if statement that wouldn't evaluate to true if resp was undefined (this fixed the script stopping if deleting the message threw an error).
