Function X is not allowed in scope Y

[wallace]

Good day all,

I am busy with creating a custom application and tried to create an application Script Include. I am trying to call a basic function (in this case getFields)

This however gives me an error, what is the correct way of using/create a script like this

Code
var MyScript = Class.create(); MyScript.prototype = {   initialize: function() {   },   test : function(current) {       var fields = current.getFields();   },   type: 'MyScript' };

Error
Function getFields is not allowed in scope x_company_test

Hi Wallace,

getFields() is a function of GlideElement, which is globally accessible.

See http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=Scoped_System_API

Another thing, I wanna point out is getFields will work only with glide Objects like GlideRecord object or current in BR.

Thanks,

used the below and it seems to have fixed my issue

var gr = new GlideRecord('x_company_test_ticket');

gr.addQuery('sys_id',current.sys_id);

gr.query();

Hi All -

Has anything changed with regards to this answer? I'm on a UI Action to test getFields() and both of these fail within my scoped application:

// Fails...

//var fields = current.getFields();

//gs.addInfoMessage('fields: ' + fields);





// Also fails...

var gr = new GlideRecord('x_7940_xyz_customer');

gr.get(current.sys_id);

gs.addInfoMessage('sys_id: ' + gr.sys_id); // good GlideRecord, sys_id displays

var fields = gr.getFields(); // creates error: Function getFields is not allowed in scope x_7940_xyz

Thanks!
