REST Testharness

 Scripted REST endpoint:


this is a simple example using a script include to return a hard-coded JSON string

(function process( /*RESTAPIRequest*/ request, /*RESTAPIResponse*/ response) { //--build up a test response var sRestRespStr = new testResponse_singleUser(); return sRestRespStr; })(request, response); (sample JSON:



{ "id": "yyyyy-zzzz-12323-1256-xxxxx", "known_as": "Daniel", "surname": "Smith", "email": "test@test.net" }
)

 REST message:


a message calling the above endpoint. Here is it's HTTP Method





example script for the REST Message - the parameters are the REST Message and the HTTP Method (these can be named differently)

testUser_singleUser: function() { try { var r=new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('test', 'test'); var resp = r.execute(); var responseBody = resp.haveError() ? resp.getErrorMessage() : resp.getBody(); var httpStatus = resp.getStatusCode(); gs.log(responseBody, 'test:responseBody'); gs.log(httpStatus, 'test:httpStatus'); var obj=JSON.parse(responseBody ); gs.log('ID='+obj.result.id); //--get an element from the response called 'ID' /*for(var i = 0; i<obj.result.length; i++) {//--loop round elements
var ID= obj.result[i].id; }*/
} catch (ex) { gs.log(ex.toString(), 'test:error'); } }

ServiceNow check for null or nil or empty (or not)

Haven't tested these all recently within global/local scopes, so feel free to have a play! option 1 use an encoded query embedded in the GlideRecord , e.g.  var grProf = new GlideRecord ( 'x_cls_clear_skye_i_profile' ); grProf . addQuery ( 'status=1^ owner=NULL ' ); grProf . query (); even better use the glideRecord  addNotNullQuery or addNullQuery option 2 JSUtil.nil / notNil (this might be the most powerful. See this link ) example: if ( current . operation () == 'insert' && JSUtil . notNil ( current . parent ) && ! current . work_effort . nil ())  option 3 there might be times when you need to get inside the GlideRecord and perform the check there, for example if the code goes down 2 optional routes depending on null / not null can use gs.nil : var grAppr = new GlideRecord ( 'sysapproval_approver' ); var grUser = new GlideRecord ( 'sys_user' ); if ( grUser . get ( 'sys_id' , current . approver )){...

Code a pause/wait - gs.sleep or gs.wait alternative, pause script for specified seconds (timer)

Code a pause/wait - gs.sleep / gs.wait alternative, pause script for specified seconds (timer)  e.g. 10 seconds: do_sleep ( 10000 ); function do_sleep ( milliseconds ) { var start = new Date (). getTime (); for ( var i = 0 ; i < 1e7 ; i ++) { if (( new Date (). getTime () - start ) > milliseconds ){ gs . print ( 'waking up!' ); break ; } } }
