UI Macro Debug

[sai krishna10]

Hi,

I used this line in my ui macro <g:evaluate var="jvar_guid" expression="gs.generateGUID(this);" />

I want to debug it and want to know which value will store in the variable var, Can anyone tell me how to debug UI Macros.

Thanks,

I tried it but i didnt see the breakpoint and its variable there... I found lot of unwanted stuff.

here you go.

what i had done now. i have created on ui macro and defined the one jvar into the break point to check the log.

UI Macro:

now the question is how did you invoke your ui macros, for me i just called it in my ui page

so for this i randomly created on ui page:

UI Page:

once you click on "Try It" on the ui page then scroll down and try to search "BreakPoint tag start". refer the screenshot below that i had searched and found.

Note: enable all the session debug.

hope it will help you now.

Hi

But here i am using OOB UI Macro on caller field in incident table.

<g:evaluate var="jvar_guid" expression="gs.generateGUID(this);" />

What this GUID Will generate in my case. I found that i will give the sys_id but i which sys_id it is giving.

[Harsh Vardhan]

gs.generateGUID() is used to generate unique sysid.

once it get generated you can use it to perform other task for example creating a record through this.

for eg: you can refer this thread.
