Fix Script not pausing at Debug Break Points

Please reference the attachment.

I have Breakpoints set on every statement in the script.

I start debugger, opens separate window - then from original window, I run fix Script (not in background).  

Script completes without ever pausing for a breakpoint (and does not set my reports publish=false)

 

Help Please

// Fix script to set the 'Public' field of all reports to false

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_report');
gr.query();

while (gr.next()) {
    // Get the value of the 'public' field
    var isPublic = gr.getValue('public');

    if (isPublic == 'true') {
        // Set the 'public' field to false
        gr.setValue('public', 'false');
        gr.update();
        gs.info("Report '" + gr.getValue('title') + "' (sys_id: " + gr.getUniqueValue() + ") set to private.");
    }
}

Hi @stacylen196,

 

Looks like someone asked the exact same question in the past - Debugger is not stopping in the breakpoint in Fix ... - ServiceNow Community

 

Hope that helps, cheers

Hi @stacylen196 ,

 

The debugger will not work in a fix script. If you want to debug your code, you can run it in a background script and add gs.info() statements after the lines you want to debug. In fix script also you can use try/catch to check the error message.

 

Please mark my answer correct and helpful if this works for you

Thanks and Regards,

Sarthak

I found Google AI shows the same script:

 

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_report');
gr.query();
while (gr.next()) {
  // Use getValue() to check the field's current value
  var isPublic = gr.getValue('public');
  if (isPublic == 'true') {
    // Use setValue() to change the field's value
    gr.setValue('public', 'false');
    gr.update();
    gs.info("Report '" + gr.getValue('title') + "' (sys_id: " + gr.getUniqueValue() + ") set to private.");
  }
}

However, there is no field named 'public' on the sys_report table.  So that script changes nothing in my instance. However, there is the 'is_published' field and a 'roles' field, where 'public' is shown. That combination seems to allow "public" access to the report.
