error message on client controller "It should contain a JavaScript function"

[TMKAM]

I receive an error on when i try to save a newly created widget at service portal and this error is on client controller with message "It should contain a JavaScript function"

here are the scripts in client controller and thank you for your solution.

function($scope, $rootScope, spUtil) {
/* widget controller */
var c = this;

$scope.uploading = false;
$scope.parent = getParent($scope);
$scope.no_attachments = $scope.parent.c.data.sc_cat_item.no_attachments;
$scope.mandatory_attachment = $scope.parent.c.data.sc_cat_item.mandatory_attachment;

$rootScope.$on("attachment.upload.start", function(x,y){
$scope.uploading = true;
});

$rootScope.$on("attachment.upload.stop", function(x,y){
$scope.uploading = false;
});

$scope.attachmentHandler = $scope.parent.attachmentHandler;
$scope.confirmDeleteAttachment = $scope.parent.confirmDeleteAttachment;

$scope.attachments = [];
$scope.$watch('parent.attachments',function(){
if ($scope.parent.attachments) {
$scope.attachments = $scope.parent.attachments;
}
})

$scope.mandatory_filled = function() {
return ($scope.attachments.length > 0);
}

function getParent(parent) {
if (parent.item) {
if (parent.widget.id != "widget-sc-cat-item-v2")
//BBraun adjustment: No error message because we are using a custom widget for catalog item display
//spUtil.addErrorMessage("The catalog attachments widget is only compatible with 'widget-sc-cat-item-v2'");
return parent;
} else {
if (parent.$parent){
return getParent(parent.$parent);
} else {
spUtil.addErrorMessage("An error has occured");
console.warn('Was not able to find parent widget');
}
}
}

}

Your getParent() function is not properly defined.

Do it this way:

$scope.getParent = function()
{

}

if i replace "function getParent(parent) {" to "$scope.getParent = function()" i receive error message "Could not save record because of a compile error: JavaScript parse error at line (33) column (5) problem = missing { before function body (<refname>; line 33)"
