How to override a base class function in script include

[ramandeepgarg6]

Dear Friends,

We have 2 script includes GRCUtils and GRCUtilsBase. GRCUtilsBase is a Servicenow base class script include and hence is not editable. It has all the functions and code. I want to update a function. So I was overriding that function in GRCUtils which extends the base class. Now when I override then the code does not work. I copied the same code in GRCUtils just for testing purposes but it didn't work. Could you pleas help? Please tell if I am overriding it correctly or not

var GRCUtils = Class.create();

GRCUtils.prototype = Object.extendsObject(GRCUtilsBase, {

                  //Override base class function

generateProfilesFromType: function(type, updateClassIfExists) { --> updateClassIfExists is function in base class

                  return this._generateProfilesFromType(type, updateClassIfExists); },

_generateProfilesFromType: function(typeQuery) {

                  gs.log('++start');

                  var results = {

                                    added: 0,

return results; },

      type: 'GRCUtils'

});

Hi Ramandeep,

I have a concrete example for you:

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

baseClassFunction: function() {

gs.log('Base function called!');

},

printLog: function() {

gs.log('Employeee log');

},


       type: 'Employee'
};
};

var Consultant = Class.create();
Consultant.prototype = Object.extendsObject(Employee, {

printLog: function() {

gs.log('Consultant log');
this.baseClassFunction();

},

       type: 'Consultant'
});
});

With the following statements run via Scripts - Background I retrieve the following result as expected due to overriding:

new Employee().printLog();

new Consultant().printLog();

Hope this helps you.

Kind regards,

Stijn

Hi Stijn,

Thank you for looking into it! Could you please share the output after running the script statements? I think you missed output in your last reply.

Sorry Ramandeep,

forgot to copy paste the output indeed

Output:

*** Script: Employeee log

*** Script: Consultant log

*** Script: Base function called!
