Ember component function outside of action function - ember.js

Question

I have a problem calling a function outside action functions from an actions function. As you can see from the code below, I have a selectClient action that calls two functions, createCompanyAccount and createPrivateAccount. But I always get a this.createPrivateAccount is undefined. I have tried using self, but to no avail. Weirdly, I thought I would have to use self.createCompanyAccount, but then I get a self.createCompanyAccount is not defined.
I use Ember 2.12 and Ember Data 2.16.3.
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Component.extend({
store: Ember.inject.service(),
tagName: '',
/**
* Actions
*/
actions: {
// Select from selectList
selectClient(element) {
let self = this;
if (element.company) {
this.get('store').query('account', { 'filter' : {'orgnumber': element.orgNumber}}).then(
(accounts) => {
/* Organisation exist already */
},
(error) => {
let code = Number(error.errors[0].status);
if (code === 404) {
// company does not exist, so lets create it, and an account.
this.createCompanyAccount(element).then(
(account) => {
/* Do stuff... */
}
);
}
}
);
} else {
this.createPrivateAccount(element).then(
(anonUser) => {
/* Do stuff... */
}
);
}
}
},
createCompanyAccount(company) {
let account = this.get('store').createRecord('account', {
type: 'company',
});
// Check if postal address is set on result
if (typeof company.addressObject !== 'undefined') {
let postAddress = this.get('store').createRecord('address', {
address: company.addressObject.streetName,
zip: company.addressObject.zip,
postal_address: company.addressObject.postalAddress
});
account.get('addresses').pushObject(postAddress);
}
this.get('store').createRecord('company', {
name: company.name,
org_number: Number(company.orgNumber),
account: account
}).save().then((new_company) => {
return new_company.get('account');
});
},
createPrivateAccount(person) {
let account = this.get('store').createRecord('account', {
type: 'anonuser'
});
// Check if postal address is set on result
if (typeof person.addressObject !== 'undefined') {
let postAddress = this.get('store').createRecord('address', {
address: person.addressObject.streetName,
zip: person.addressObject.zip,
postal_address: person.addressObject.postalAddress
});
account.get('addresses').pushObject(postAddress);
}
this.get('store').createRecord('anonUser', {
first_name: person.firstName,
sur_name: person.surName,
email: person.email,
phone: person.phone,
account: account,
}).save().then((new_person) => {
return new_person.get('account');
});
}
});
Can anyone see where I go wrong? I can note that there is a few other functions that I have removed for clarity.
Thank you,
Tommy

Your issue is not about this.createPrivateAccount and this.createCompanyAccount being undefined. I think both of them are being executed but they do return undefined but you are expecting a Promise. Therefore this.createPrivateAccount().then is undefined.
