data argument in ajax dataFilter callback is undefined

[[email protected]…]

This is the code I'm executing:

$.ajax({
  cache: false,
  dataType: "jsonp",
  dataFilter: function(data, type) {
    console.log(data);
    var results = (data || { }).results || "";
    return $.parseJSON(results);
  },
  data: { q: "select * from json where url='http://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://www.google.nl/'" },
  url: "http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql",
});

On the console it prints undefined, because the data argument in the dataFilter callback is undefined. I can't see why that would be the case, since the request returns a completely valid (and non-empty) JSON response, therefor the reason for filing it as a bug.

The fact that I'm getting the actual JSON from YQL as a JSON-encoded string, is another problem, but that's the reason I'm trying dataFilter to solve it.

Browser used: Firefox 13.0.1, Firebud 1.9.2.

I have the same problem: data argument in the dataFilter callback is undefined

I'm attaching a jsfiddle example. ​http://jsfiddle.net/MPK4n/1/

jsFiddle handles CoffeeScript? Please provide a JavaScript version.

Sorry, my fault.

Here you can find a js version.

The docs say:

dataFilter: A function to be used to handle the raw response data of XMLHttpRequest

A JSONP request is not an XHR request so there is no XHR object and no raw data.

Thanks.

"Some types of Ajax requests, such as JSONP and cross-domain GET requests, do not use XHR; in those cases the XMLHttpRequest and textStatus parameters passed to the callback are undefined." My bad, I've missed that in ​http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax.

I guess the ticket can be closed.
