function parameters in time-driven trigger - google-apps-script

Question

I have a function that should have two different behaviors depending on its parameters:
If no parameter, do A
Otherwise do B
If I just run the function selecting it on the script editor and clicking run it runs as expected. It does what is supposed to do without parameters. If I run it in a time driven trigger then nothing happens. I supposed that running the function in a trigger will set the parameters as undefined too. Am I missing something?
Here is the function code:
function logToday(sede) {
var sheet=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('workedDays');
var dateElement = new dateElement_();
var hour=dateElement.hour()+":45";
var monthYear=dateElement.month();
var day=dateElement.dayInMonth();
var dayName=dateElement.weekDayName();
Logger.log("Running log Today with: "+sede);
if(! sede)
{
sede="";hour="";
sheet.appendRow([monthYear,dayName,day,sede,hour]);
}
else
{
var LastRow=new LastRow_(sheet);
if(LastRow.getColValue("sede")=="")
{
LastRow.setColValue("sede",sede);
LastRow.setColValue("Entered Hour",hour);
if(dateElement.weekDay()==0 || dateElement.weekDay()==6 )colorWeekend(sheet);
Logger.log(dateElement.weekDay());
}
}
}

Answer 1

when triggered, a function is given some parameters from the trigger. For exemple a time trigger every minute will return something like this:
{minute=58, day-of-week=1, timezone=UTC, week-of-year=7, second=20, day-of-month=10, month=2, year=2014, hour=10, authMode=full}
the function that do this test:
function test(e){
SpreadsheetApp.openById("YOUR_SPREADSHEET_ID").appendRow([e]);
}
What you can do is: In your code instead of parsing a simple string as parameter you could pass to your function an object:
function passSedeArg(){
var obj={"sede":"argument"}; // here "argument" must be changed for the old "sede" you where passing
logToday(obj);
}
function logToday(obj) {
var sheet=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('workedDays');
var dateElement = new dateElement_();
var hour=dateElement.hour()+":45";
var monthYear=dateElement.month();
var day=dateElement.dayInMonth();
var dayName=dateElement.weekDayName();
Logger.log("Running log Today with: "+sede);
if(typeof obj.sede=="undefined") // no obj.sede argument where given
{
sede="";hour="";
sheet.appendRow([monthYear,dayName,day,sede,hour]);
}
else // you have a obj.sede argument
{
var LastRow=new LastRow_(sheet);
if(LastRow.getColValue("sede")=="")
{
LastRow.setColValue("sede",obj.sede);
LastRow.setColValue("Entered Hour",hour);
if(dateElement.weekDay()==0 || dateElement.weekDay()==6 )colorWeekend(sheet);
Logger.log(dateElement.weekDay());
}
}
}
