I need to test a part of code which is in client script.

[EKTA2]

Hi. I have a GlideAjax function within a client script. I need to test it, without having to replicate all the stuff via UI or browser. How can I test it? I couldn't figure a way for  testing it via background script.

Hello @EKTA2 

• You can define the required inputs as variables and replicate the function logic in a background script.
• Since background script and the Script Include both execute on the server side, there should be no issues testing the logic in this way.

Hi @EKTA2 ,

Whats the issue ? your GA is written in client script so it will get invoked once form load or onchange. you can check the behavior on form.

@EKTA2 

you can use javascript executor for this to call that glideAjax

Using the Javascript Executor to test client scripts 

You can be on that form from where GlideAjax has to be initiated and then press Alt+Ctrl+Shift+j

It opens up a executor and you can access form values using g_form object and then invoke GlideAjax, write your code and Run the code

Something like this
