Please rectify the error coming in logs for the date field validation

rishabh31 · ‎08-03-2023

Hello Team,

Can anyone please help me to get this error resolved and make these scripts work?

Requirement- 'Date to Disable' (Date type variable) should not be the Past date, it can be either today's date or any future date.

To achieve this I wrote below the client callable script Include:

validateDatetoDisable.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
    nowDateTime: function() {
        var disableDate = this.getParameter('sysparm_disable_dt');
        gs.log('Rishi Disable Dt ' + disableDate);
        var cDate = new GlideDate();
        gs.log('Rishi Current Dt ' + cDate);
        //return gs.dateDiff(gs.nowDateTime(), disableDate, true) / 86400;
        //return gs.dateDiff(cDate, disableDate, true) / 86400;
        return gs.dateDiff(cDate, disableDate, true);
    },
    type: 'validateDatetoDisable'
});

Then I wrote onChange Client Script on change of Date to Disable and called the above script include as below:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }

    var disDate = new GlideAjax('validateDatetoDisable');
    disDate.addParam('sysparm_name', 'nowDateTime');
    disDate.addParam('sysparm_disable_dt', g_form.getValue('date_to_disable_account'));
    disDate.getXML(compareDisableDate);

    function compareDisableDate(response) {
        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        //if (answer <= 0) {To neither allow current date nor past date
        if (answer < 0) { //To allow current date but not past date
            g_form.addErrorMessage("Date to Disable should not be the Past Date");
            g_form.clearValue('date_to_disable_account');
        }
    }
}

But I am getting the below error (shown in the screenshot/attached) while checking through the logs,

I know this can be achieved through UI Policy Script, but I want this fulfilled through Client Callable Script Include for learning purposes.

Thank You in advance!

Oh, sorry, I completely missed the error from the log that you posted.

That error indicates something else, maybe a scope identifier will help?

Here's how I would do it, if going for the client-script/script include way.

Script include:

Client script:

Okay, that will make it a bit more complicated.

Add these lines to the script to allow for the same day also.

And on another note, make it a habit to use gs.info() instead of gs.log(), since gs.log() does not work in scoped applications.

isBeforeToday: function() {
        var compareDate = this.getParameter('sysparm_date_compare');
        if (!compareDate)
            return 0;

        var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
        var compareGDT = new GlideDateTime(compareDate);
	
	var systemDay = gdt.getDate().toString();
	var compareDay = compareGDT.getDate().toString();

	if (systemDay == compareDay) {
		return 1;
	else {
	        if (compareGDT.before(gdt)) {
        	    return 0;
        	} else {
        	    return 1;
        	}
	}
    },

Hi Rishabh, please make sure that

1) you have checked the "client callable" checkbox for the script include

2) Scope of script include and client script should be same

rishabh31 · ‎08-04-2023

Sure @Prince Arora Sir, Let me check an update.

rishabh31 · ‎08-04-2023

Thank you @Prince Arora Sir for the response, I checked both the mentioned points but all is good there.

@rishabh31

Glad to see your problem has resolved but I have mentioned that scope might be the issue and that's the only issue there 🙂
