Automated Test Framework - How to solve "undefined" as output of a ATF test step (Run server side script).

lucascd · ‎08-14-2019

Hello team,

I'm currently working on a test case in Automated Test Framework in the Discovery area.

I have a "Record Query" test step that returns a specific record from the discovery_device_history table. In the following step I execute some validations in the fields successfully.

In the following step, I have a Run Server Side Script test step that I want to get the CMDB CI value of the discovery_device_history record and use it as an Output - so in the next steps I can open and validate the CI record.

Here is my script:

(function(outputs, steps, stepResult, assertEqual) {
    
	var sysIDstep1 = 'fakkeekkeekk773006d50f9baae961987'; //Step 1 Sys ID
	var recordIDStep1 = steps(sysIDstep1).record_id;  
	
	var record_id;
	outputs.table = 'cmdb_ci_linux_server';
	outputs.record_id = recordIDStep1.cmdb_ci; 


	stepResult.setOutputMessage("Output: "+ sysIDstep1 + recordIDStep1 + record_id);


	
	
})(outputs, steps, stepResult, assertEqual);

My output:

Output: fakkeekkeekk773006d50f9baae961987undefinedundefined

Any suggestion of what I am doing wrong and how I can fix the script? So the CI becomes my output?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Elijah

Sorry for the late response. Yes, I figured a way to do it! 🙂

(function(outputs, steps, stepResult, assertEqual) {
 
	// Returns the server sys_id, using Step that has Device History as output
	var recordIDStep10 = steps('SYS ID OF THE STEP').first_record;
	
	// Gets the zOS server data/record
	var queryString = "sys_id=" + recordIDStep10;
        var request = new GlideRecord('discovery_device_history');
        request.addEncodedQuery(queryString);
        request.query();
	var theIDIwant = '';
	
    if (request.next()) {
       theIDIwant =  request.cmdb_ci;
	
		
    } else {
		// Doesn't exists a server - Failure
	}
	
	var record_id;
	outputs.record_id = theIDIwant;
	
	stepResult.setOutputMessage("SYSID: " + recordIDStep10 + " SYS ID of CI: " + theIDIwant);

})(outputs, steps, stepResult, assertEqual);

Hi guys.

I managed to get a bit better, by having the Device sys_ID showing up in the Output message by using first_record instead of record_id. But still getting undefined for the CI.

Here is my updated code:

(function(outputs, steps, stepResult, assertEqual) {
	

	
	var sysIDstep1 = 'fa66c5b0dbd773006d50f9baae961987'; //Step 1 Sys ID
	var recordIDStep1 = steps(sysIDstep1).first_record;
	var cmdbNumero = recordIDStep1.cmdb_ci;
	var record_id;
	
	
	outputs.table = 'cmdb_ci_linux_server';
	outputs.record_id = cmdbNumero;

	
	gs.log('body ' + record_id);
	gs.log('body type' + (typeof record_id));
		
	
	if (outputs.record_id) {
		stepResult.setOutputMessage("sysIDstep1: "+ sysIDstep1 + "  recordIDStep1: "+ recordIDStep1 + "    cmdbnumero "+ cmdbNumero + "recordID" + record_id);
			
		return true;
	} else {
		stepResult.setOutputMessage("Failed Step");
		return false;
	}
	
})(outputs, steps, stepResult, assertEqual);

Try replacing record_id with outputs.record_id in your stepOutputMessage.

Hi Masha.

I tried that but still showed "undefined" in the results.

Hi guys.
I'm still struggling with this, after attempting a few more changes.

Any ideas on how to solve this "undefined" issue?

I've been working with ATF for a while and it's very useful to me, but now I need to use the scripting steps to develop more advanced test cases and I can't pass this basic part of input/output.

Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Thank you.
