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 ?

Or, even better yet, send that Group Name as a param in your client script:

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


       getGroup: function()
       {
               var _sysID = 'sysID not found';
               var groupName = this.getParameter('sysparm_groupName');
               var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
               gr.addQuery('name', groupName);
               gr.query();
               if (gr.next())
                       _sysID = gr.sys_id.toString();

               return _sysID;
       }
});






function test()
{
       var ajax = new GlideAjax('GetAssignementGroup');
       ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getGroup');
       ajax.addParam('sysparm_groupName', 'PUT YOUR GROUP NAME HERE');
       ajax.getXMLWait();
       var group = ajax.getAnswer();

       alert(group);
}

Sadly, it doesn't work !

Maybe it has something to do with me using Customer Services application ? .. Should the script include be in global to be called asynchronously ?

[adilbelahbib]

Here's my script include, which works perfectly with an async call

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

   type: 'GetAssignementGroup',
   getGroup: function()
   {
   var groupMember = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');

   //Get the type sys_id
   var groupType = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group_type');
   groupType.addQuery('name', 'Affectation RCBT');
   groupType.query();
   groupType.next();

   groupMember.addQuery('group.type','CONTAINS', groupType.sys_id);
   groupMember.addQuery('user', gs.getUserID());
   groupMember.query();

   if(groupMember.next())
   return groupMember.group.sys_id;
   else
   return null;

   }

});

Make sure it's "Client callable"

[adilbelahbib]

Yes it is. But it's rather in the Customer Services application (the ui action is also in the customer services application)
