addEncodedQuery Method In Lower Case Results are Strange instead of Error

[Rahul Priyadars]

Hi All

in one my script i used below and results are as expected.

var incGr = new GlideRecord('incident');
var cn=0;

incGr.addEncodedQuery('active=true^reassignment_count>2');

Now i did this and it is returning all incidents instead of throwing syntax error.

var incGr = new GlideRecord('incident');
var cn=0;

incGr.addencodedquery('active=true^reassignment_count>2');

why i tested this in some of  the env my junior developers used lower case method name resulting into more records fetched and it updated more no of records causing issue.

I tested both versions above and behavior with lowercase is really Strange.

Am i missing something here . Please put some light on this .

Regards

The second method is invalid, so it is ignored.  Anything in a GlideRecord that cannot be interpreted is ignored, so the query, in this case, results in returning all records.  It's not a syntax error, rather you are calling a method that does not exist.  Same if your query contained an error like omitting the ^ or mistyping a field name.
