Background Script

[munwala]

What I am envisioning is a background script which creates a specific gliderecord, then tests the query for it, then deletes it so you can run that automatically every time you want to test with very little user input?

So I would really appreciate if someone could help me with the script. Thanks!

So basically I am looking to build a script to test filter conditions in ServiceNow

Hello, it sounds interesting what you mention but I don't quite understand what you're trying to accomplish. Would you mind elaborating?

Based on what i understand so far, perhaps the following will help...

// User only touches this section -----------------

var table_name = 'incident'; // change the table to test the filter on

var query = 'active=true'; // add the encoded query that you will like to test here

var field_to_display = 'number'; // add the name of the field to display

// End of User Edit Section ----------------------------

var gr = new GlideRecord (table_name);

gr.addEncodedQuery(query);

gr.query();

gs.print('There are ' + gr.getRowCount() + ' records');

while (gr.next()){

    gs.print ('This is the value of ' +   field_to_display + ' : ' + gr[field_to_display]);

}

Thanks,

Berny

Hi Berny,

So, I have a method which has filter conditions in it within a script include. So, basically I want to write a   background script to check those conditions in my method and make sure the conditions still work.

For example: There may be a lot of errors in the below code. But just to give you the idea on what I am trying to accomplish here.

var gr = new GlideRecord("alm_hardware");

gr.favorite_food = "cookie";

gr.othervalue = "something";

gr.insert();

var evaluator = new PNCTransformUtils();

var testResult = evaluator.myFunctionThatChecksConditions(gr,"Arrow");

if(testResult = true) { gs.log("allGood")}

else {gs.log("fail")}

gr.delete();

Hope this makes sense to you?

Cheers!

Hi Mohammed,

I have responded to a similar posting from yourself here:

I had not read this post when I responded.

Just so you know.
