Reach a specific class with selectAll()

Question

I have a variable that selects a g tag (we will call her all_g). I wanna select some content of this g.

So here's what's in my g tag : The G-tag

I wanna reach all others afterText content, like this one, that contains "19". So i tried to do :

var all_aftertext = all_g.selectAll(".node tspan.aftertext");

But it returns an empty NodeList. How can I select this easily ?

This is the function on my code where i try to retreive all of the aftertext :

function add_total_svg(all_g, cell) {
    var all_aftertext = all_g.selectAll(".node tspan.aftertext");
    //for (var i = 0; )
    console.log(all_aftertext);
    cell.attr("class", "total").attr("id", "total");
    cell.select("#title").text("Total");
}

And here is my entire code :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>

    <meta charset="utf-8"> 
    <title>Graphique DPGF</title>
    <style>

.node rect {
  cursor: pointer;

  fill-opacity: 0.5;
  stroke: #3182bd;
  stroke-width: 1.5px;
}

#div { display: table-row; }
#div .cell { display: table-cell; vertical-align: top;}

.node text {
  font: 10px sans-serif;
  pointer-events: none;
}

.link {
  fill: none;
  stroke: #9ecae1;
  stroke-width: 1.5px;

dont just assume people can understand you, put your code here — Chris Li, Sep 20 '18 at 08:24
The picture shows us what the DOM looks like, but it's really hard to see why your node list is empty unless you show the code. Please read this: https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve — ksav, Sep 20 '18 at 08:31
There is obviously something else going wrong here as the query you've written should retrieve that node. That is why it is important to post a minimal complete example instead of a photo. — i alarmed alien, Sep 20 '18 at 08:31

The problem here is quite simple to spot, but quite complicated to understand for someone who doesn't know asynchronous code. So, let's start with a joke:

There are two types of programmers: and those who don't. Those who understand asynchronous code...

So, what's the problem here? If you look at your code inside create_a_tree_obj you'll see that it calls, in that order:

add_the_tree_graph
add_total_svg

Therefore, since add_the_tree_graph runs before add_total_svg those <tspans> should be there, right?

Wrong. Inside add_the_tree_graph you have this:

d3.json(path[i], function(error, json) {
    if (error) throw error;
    //etc...
});

And that's the asynchronous code we talked about. d3.json's callback will not run immediately, and by the time add_total_svg is called, there is no <tspan> there yet.

^{Although this issue have been explained several times at S.O. — this question being the best dupe target — I reckon the code here deserves a specific answer, given the not so obvious position of the asynchronous code.}

Hahaha nice one, thanks you for the explication, i found where was the problem now ! — Zahreddine Laidi, Sep 20 '18 at 10:05
