get the function name

[User370547]

Hello

When I write scripts (business rules, script includes (classes and functions), functions) I try to add the name to the log output.

like:

function add_sec_sc_relation_function()

{   gs.log('add_sec_sc_relation_function ' + 'start');

}

Then I can filter to the syslog  table with this string.  (Best way to debug).

Is there a way to get the function name without hard coding ?  like

gs.log(get_name_of_function() +  ' start');

Many thanks.

Hi,

you cannot get the current function name

best way is to print logs at start of the function and end of function to ensure the script within function ran fine

Hi,

you can use arguments object and can fetch the name by using some string manipulations. 

Check this link https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-get-currently-running-function-name-using-javascript/ This might give you some ideas.

Mark the comment as a correct answer and helpful if this helps to solve the problem.

Hello

I have tried in "Script Background"

function getFuncName()
{   
    return getFuncName.caller.name;
}
function teddy() {
    gs.info(getFuncName());
}

teddy();

Result:

*** Script: undefined
