Equals sign not being recognized in scripted URL

chrisshellhamme · ‎08-06-2024

I have a scripted URL as the following:

var url = window.location.host + '/rm_story_list.do?sysparm_query=cmdb_ci=' + grTS.cmdb_ci_service + '^active=true';

window.open(url, '_blank', 'width=800,height=600');

The window is opening without the second equals sign:

/rm_story_list.do?sysparm_query=cmdb_ci%3Df6d8ba836f0ee2006a17d5267b3ee4cb%5Eactive%3Dtrue

Anyone have any thoughts as to why the second one is being omitted?

Hi @chrisshellhamme - Try like this:

var service = grTS.getValue('cmdb_ci_service');

var baseUrl = window.location.protocol + '//' + window.location.host + '/rm_story_list.do?sysparm_query=';
var query = 'cmdb_ci=' + encodeURIComponent(service) + '^active=true';
var url = baseUrl + encodeURIComponent(query);

window.open(url, '_blank', 'width=800,height=600');

Also, depending on where this script is implemented, you may be able to use just the relative path in the baseUrl:

var baseUrl = '/rm_story_list.do?sysparm_query=';

hi @chrisshellhamme ,

please try the below code:

var baseUrl = window.location.host + '/rm_story_list.do';

var query = 'cmdb_ci=' + encodeURIComponent(grTS.cmdb_ci_service) + '^active=true';

var url = baseUrl + '?sysparm_query=' + encodeURIComponent(query);

window.open(url, '_blank', 'width=800,height=600');
