gs.flushMessages() does not work on Scoped application

[sushmuttalli]

Hi,

I need to avoid multiple messages popping up in the list view when we do a mass update , for this we used Flushmessages() , but it doesnt work  on Scoped application. Is there any way we can avoid multiple info messages from the list?

Hi Sushmutalli,

I guess gs.flushMessages() does not work in Scoped application. As an alternative you can look for g_form.clearMessages()

Thanks,

I have to run it on Server side , Is there any other alternative to clear the previous messages on server side?

I get that this is a dated thread but I came across it dealing with this same issue today...so I thought I would throw my "solution" out there.  I have a script include with various "utils" function in my scoped app.  Per this thread, in this context, gs.flushMessages() does NOT work.  So I created a second script in the global scope with a single function to call gs.flushMessages().

I have NO clue why flushMessages is not available in a scoped app; this is a complete head scratcher to me personally.  But this "solution" (aka workaround) does do the trick.  Hopefully this helps someone else down the road.

Scope app script include:

new global.stsAdminUtils().flushMessages();

Global script include:

var stsAdminUtils = Class.create();
stsAdminUtils.prototype = {
initialize: function() {},

flushMessages: function() {
     gs.flushMessages();
},

type: 'stsAdminUtils'
};

Do you think this would work on portal? Or only on backend? I am having an issue when using a catalog item that adds roles. Whenever we hit the approve request button, the screen goes full on crazy.
