simple glideAjax in scoped app killing me

[emyrold]

I'm building a small little custom app and the requirement needs me to auto set certain groups based on state.

typically I would do this with assignment rules but I have to also do other things that cannot be done with rules.

That said, I am leveraging UI Policy (if true or if false script blocks).

I have created a glide ajax Script Include in the new custom application scope with client callable checked.

I have created three system properties + system properties category and Module to display the properties in the application.

I have created a UI Policy with condition (state = draft) and then in the execute if true script block I have written a fairly simple glideAjax script.

The issue seems to be with parsing the result.   If I gs.warn() on the script include it correctly logs what I want just before calling "return" to send the results back to the client.

Here is the UI Policy Script:

function onCondition() {
   try {
   g_form.clearValue('assigned_to');
   g_form.setDisplay('assigned_to', false);
   var ga = new GlideAjax('u_docit_ajax');
   ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getGSDProperties');
   ga.addParam('sysparm_property', 'x_10032_gtd_dev.sn.developers.group');
   ga.getXML(myCallBack);
   }
   catch(err) {
   console.log(err);
   }
}
function myCallBack(response) {
   var answer = response.responesXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
   alert('my answer is: ' + answer);
   //*** g_form.setValue('fieldname', 'sys_id', 'name') ***//
   //g_form.setValue('assigned_to', answer); //answer is coming back as: 'c0c602364f55d20036988ab18110c7f8', 'SN Developers'
}

Here is my Script Include:

var u_docit_ajax = Class.create();
u_docit_ajax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
//u_docit_ajax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(x_10032_gtd_dev.u_docit_ajax.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
// u_docit_ajax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
   /*
   * @getGSDProperties - GlideAjax function called from client script
   * @sysparm_property - This will be the sys_parameter name passed in from the client
   * @returns - The value of the given property
   */
   getGSDProperties: function() {
   var sysProp         = this.getParameter('sysparm_property');
   gs.warn('***DEBUG: gs.getProperty(sysProp) is: ' + gs.getProperty(sysProp));
   return gs.getProperty(sysProp);
   }
});

Here is an error in the system log when the Script Include is processing:

And here is a Java console error when the client-side codes runs when form loads:

If you are using custom app which has its own scoping check this link : GlideAjax and AbstractAjaxProcessor

which has how to set up GlideAjax with scoping

Hi Mani, thanks you... yes i saw that and had to modify the line above   "...u_docit_ajax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, ..." to include the global prefix before AbstractAjaxProcessor.

Hi Emyrold,

The error is in this line of code var answer = response.responesXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

should be var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

Hi Pradeep,

OMG....   serious type-O...       🙂

Getting closer, but not all the way there yet...   at least I am able to alert(answer) and/or jslog(answer) and see what I am expecting to receive.

The issues is when I go through the glideAjax call it will not set the field, but in the same UI Policy script, if I statically set the same thing and not call the glideAjax that g_form.setValue() works.

Here is my client-side script:

function onCondition() {

   g_form.setMandatory('assigned_to', false);
   g_form.clearValue('assigned_to');
   g_form.setDisplay('assigned_to', false);

   g_form.setValue('assignment_group', 'c0c602364f55d20036988ab18110c7f8', 'SN Developers');   // ****THIS WORKS

   /*     ***** If I comment out this static line above, and then uncomment this GlideAjax block and uncomment the line at the bottom, it does not work.
   var ga = new GlideAjax('u_docit_ajax');
   ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getGSDProperties');
   ga.addParam('sysparm_property', 'x_10032_gtd_dev.sn.developers.group');
   ga.getXML(myCallBack);
   */

}

function myCallBack(response) {
   var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
   jslog('***Debug_UI_Policy_jslog(): my answer is: ' + answer);

   //g_form.setValue('assignment_group', answer); //answer is coming back is: 'c0c602364f55d20036988ab18110c7f8', 'SN Developers'     ***THIS DOES NOT WORK

}

And here is my current Script Include:

var u_docit_ajax = Class.create();
u_docit_ajax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
//u_docit_ajax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(x_10032_gtd_dev.u_docit_ajax.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
// u_docit_ajax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

   /*
   * @getGSDProperties - GlideAjax function called from client script
   * @sysparm_property - This will be the sys_parameter name passed in from the client
   * @returns - The value of the given property
   */

   getGSDProperties: function() {

   var sysProp         = this.getParameter('sysparm_property');
   gs.warn('***DEBUG_Script_Include: gs.getProperty(sysProp) is: ' + gs.getProperty(sysProp));
   sysProp = gs.getProperty(sysProp).toString();
   return sysProp;

   },
   type: "u_docit_ajax"
});

And lastly, here is my error when I uncomment the GlideAjax Block and try to set the field this way:
