How to test a piece of javascript quickly?

Lei Wang3 · ‎12-03-2022

Do you have to test it in client ui policy or business rule? fix script? which is quick and convenient? for example, to query GlideRecord?

Javascript Executor is only for client-side code, and you shouldn't use GlideRecord in client-side code.

If you are just trying to test the js executor, try this simple line

alert("Hello from the Javascript Executor");

To learn more about scripting, I highly recommend this

and

that works, thanks!

can I save background script to rerun it again? right now, after running one time, it only gives a history link

No problem!

If you want to save a server side script to run it on demand, you can create a fix script

If you want to save the script and rerun it, fix script is the best.

For client side execute script in javascript executor.

from the javascript execute, I tried to run the following code. but looks like nothing happens after clicking run. anything wrong with my code?

var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
gr.addQuery('active', true);
gr.query();

while(gr.next()) {
alert('Incident count: ' + gr.getRowCount());
}

This is because you are trying to run server side code in javascript executor, you need to run client code here.
