Not for the first time, I have noticed issues with For loops in ServiceNow
The loop can at times appear to get stuck and the 'i' counter stops incrementing. Having not yet got to the bottom of it, I can only assume that some other object behind the scenes is already using 'i' , or possibly several client scripts using i exist on the form, though in theory the functions should encapsulated.
The problem certainly seems to go away by replacing the above with something like:
for (i=0;i<10;i++){
....
}

Hence, I can't say I could recommend using the 'i' variable anywhere in for loops when coding in ServiceNow!
...Watch this space, I may post more once I get to the bottom of why this happens!...
maybe including var i=0 instead of just i=0 helps...
ReplyDeletefor(var i = 0; i < favorites.length; i++) {
Ran across this one. It was scoping issue - instead of
ReplyDeletefor([var] i = 0; i<counter; i++){gs.print(i)}; enclosure helps:
function() { var x,y,z,i; //<- all local
for (i=0;i<10;i++){
gs.print(i);
}
so the I is always local to anonymous/function rather than i's in scripts includes. HTH
Good call Max, thank you. Enjoy the Knowledge18 event mate
