Issue calling Script Include from a UI Action

[David165]

Hi

Having got my UI Action to successfully create a child record and store the reference to the Parent, my next task is to generalize the code to create the child so I can call it from different forms.

I modeled my new UI Action and Script include in the community thread 

https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=96da8b6ddb5cdbc01dcaf3231f9619a6

My script include has this code:

var commentCreate = Class.create();
commentCreate.prototype = {
    initialize: function(parent) {
		this.parent = parent;
    },
	
createcomment: function() {
	var inst = new GlideRecord("x_173342_cicsv_t1_comment");

	// Set the parent to point to the Project record
	inst.setValue("u_parent_statement", this.parent);
	
	// Insert new comment record
	inst.insert();
	
	// Takes us to that new record
	// action.setRedirectURL(inst);
	return(inst);
},

    type: 'Comment create'
};

and the UI Action is:

var newComment = new commentCreate(current.sys_id);

var comment = newComment.createcomment();

action.setRedirectURL(comment);

The UI Action is not set client callable because

1. I figured the script include was executed on the server. 

2. The example I modeled this on didn't specify this.

I have tried setting it client callable, but this didn't fix the issue.

When I click the button to fire the UI Action I see this in the debug log:

4:02:04.615: Evaluator: org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: "commentCreate" is not defined. Caused by error in sys_ui_action.0cb17749db2633008f1daf26489619a2.script 

So it can't see my script include class in the UI Action.

This looks similar to a problem I reported having a week or so ago where I was unable to call any function I'd tried to "share" throughout the application, either using onLoad or script includes. I didn't manage to resolve that issue which has  similar symptoms, the called function can't be found.

What have I done wrong?

Hi David,

the function name is createComment() and the error says commentCreate() is not defined i.e. function it couldn't find

you have called the wrong function name

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

The class is called commentCreate so the statement that's generating the error in the UI Action is:

var newComment = new commentCreate(current.sys_id);

which should instatiate

var commentCreate = Class.create();
commentCreate.prototype = {
    initialize: function(parent) {
		this.parent = parent;
    },// Etc.

The call to newComment.createComment() never gets executed.

Try

var newComment = new commentCreate().createComment();

Thanks

//Can you try to fully qualify the name of the script include. if global scope then use something like.

//Also make it accessible from all scopes.

var newComment = new global.commentCreate(current.sys_id);
