Server JavaScript error Cannot convert null to an object.

I need to pass the value of gs.getUserID() as a parameter in my function "showArchiveButton" from Script Include, to Server Script. But when assigning the value of the userID variable, the console returns the error "Server JavaScript error Cannot convert null to an object."

My code:

var userID = gs.getUserID();
var include = new x_.UtilsKnowledge();

data.canArchive = include.showArchiveButton(userID);

showArchiveButton function in the Script Include:

showArchiveButton: function(userID) {
        var author = current.getValue("u_author");
        var tec_leader = current.u_lideres_tecnicos ? current.getValue("u_lideres_tecnicos").toString() : "";
        var analyzer = current.u_analisadores ? current.getValue("u_analisadores").toString() : "";
        var validators = current.u_validadores ? current.getValue("u_validadores").toString() : "";
        var status = current.getValue("sinapsenow_status");

        if (
            (author == userID && status == 0) ||
            (tec_leader == userID && status == 10) ||
            (analyzer.indexOf(userID) != -1 && status == 20) ||
            (validators.indexOf(userID) != -1 && status == 30) ||
            (validators.indexOf(userID) != -1 && status == 50)
        ) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

I don't think you actually need to pass that along. The Script Include is being called by the user so why not just put var userID = gs.getUserID(); directly in the Script Include instead?

[kojimagui]

The var userID = gs.getUserID() is already in the Include Script, I just forgot to put it in the question. But the error persists even with gs.getUserID() directly in the Include Script.

[SVimes]

Does the Script Include return correctly when you hard-code a user's sys_id instead of using gs.getUserID()?

If it does, the ID could be in an incorrect format for use elsewhere in the script when using gs.getUserID(). In situations I've come across, that's just a matter of appending .toString() so it works properly.

If it doesn't, that makes me think there is another part of your code that is likely not working and you should try doing some logging (gs.info() for the different variables and conditions) to find out what works and what doesn't.

I agree @SVimes , BTW @kojimagui are you doing hihop into the instance or logging-in with credentials?
