GlideAjax getXMLWait() not working

[adilbelahbib]

Hey,

I'm trying to run simple script on a UI action that gets the group of the connected user. I created the script include and I used it in many other places using Ajax Asynchronous calls. However, when I tried to call it using a synchronous call, I got a 'null' result, as if the script doesn't wait for the answer to come.

Here's is a snippet from my UI Action containing the ajax call.

   var ajax = new GlideAjax('GetAssignementGroup');
   ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getGroup');
   ajax.getXMLWait();
   var group = ajax.getAnswer();
   alert(group); //Prints 'null'

As I said, I'm already using the same script include with asynchronous calls and it's working. Do you have any ideas ?

What is your Script Include returning?

The sys_id of a group

Your client script code is correct.   May I please see your Script Include code?

var GetAssignementGroup = Class.create();
GetAssignementGroup.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {


       getGroup: function()
       {
               var _sysID = 'sysID not found';
               var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
               gr.addQuery('name', 'Name of Group I am looking for');
               gr.query();
               if (gr.next())
                       _sysID = gr.sys_id.toString();

               return _sysID;
       }
});

Simply change the 'Name of Group I am looking for' to the name of the group you're trying to get the sys_id for, and you'll be all set.
