Current.setAbortAction() and gs.message not working in Script Include called by Catalog Client Script

anubhavr · ‎11-29-2016

I have a Joiner Form Catalog Item where new Joinees enter their Start Date and End Date for their Joining. Here 'Start Date' and 'End Date' are variables of 'Joiner form' Item. I was trying to write a Catalog Client Script for type = onSubmit. I tried by passing Start Date and End date values to Script include and compare it. All are working fine but current.setAbortAction() and gs.getMessage() funcions are not working. So even after showing error message by g_form.addErrorMessage() in Client script the record gets created. I want to abort this record submission.

Here's the client script I used to validate start/end dates on a record producer.

function onSubmit() {

     var jsStartDate = new Date(g_form.getValue('work_start'));

     var jsEndDate     = new Date(g_form.getValue('work_end'));

     var jsToday         = new Date();

     

     if (jsStartDate < jsToday) {

           alert(getMessage('loaner_error_start_before_today'));

     return false;

     }

     

     if (jsEndDate < jsStartDate) {

           alert(getMessage('loaner_error_end_before_start'));

     return false;

     }

     return true;     

}

Then I also run a (before insert/update) business rule when fulfillers are updating the record in case two pick the same resource, one submits and it's OK and the second gets a conflict.

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {


var start = new GlideDateTime(current.work_start).getNumericValue();

var end = new GlideDateTime(current.work_end).getNumericValue();


if (start > end) {

   var msg = gs.getMessage('loaner_error_end_before_start');

   gs.addErrorMessage(msg);

   current.work_start.setError(msg);

   current.setAbortAction(true);

}


})(current, previous);

Please if I need to add the redirection after the alert like [current.u_record_producer = "1c3728a113b1db80e7d973076144b09b"; ] but from a client script ?
