how to test \ execute "run script" scripts

[johnrecz]

Maybe this is a stupid question but for the life of me I cannot find any answers anywhere.

Firstly, I'm an administrator who writes code \ develops for automation \ a hobby and very new to ServiceNow and trying to get my head around how all this works.

I have a workflow which has a run script activity on it. There's some code in there which I think pulls data from a table using a GlideRecord. I want to simply run said part of code to see if it actually does what I think it does and see what data it pulls and how it references it but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the code to execute.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Actual code if required:

var checklist new GlideRecord('x_107342_morning_c_morning_checks_table');

checklist.orderByDesc('sys_created_on');

checklist.setLimit(1);

checklist.query();

if (checklist.next()) {

  gs.print(checklist.getValue("sys_created_on"));

  gs.print(checklist.getDisplayValue("sys_created_on"));

}

Hi,

Elevate your roles and run this in Background script.

testRun();

function testRun {

var checklist = new GlideRecord('x_107342_morning_c_morning_checks_table');

checklist.orderByDesc('sys_created_on');

gs.print(checklist.getRowCount());

checklist.setLimit(1);

checklist.query();

if (checklist.next()) {

  gs.print(checklist.getValue("sys_created_on"));

  gs.print(checklist.getDisplayValue("sys_created_on"));

}

}

Apparently it needed another () on the second line but this worked!

Updated script:

testRun();

function testRun() {

var checklist = new GlideRecord('x_107342_morning_c_morning_checks_table');

checklist.orderByDesc('sys_created_on');

gs.print(checklist.getRowCount());

checklist.setLimit(1);

checklist.query();

if (checklist.next()) {

  gs.print(checklist.getValue("sys_created_on"));

  gs.print(checklist.getDisplayValue("sys_created_on"));

}

}

Thank you very much kind sir!
