Problem Importing Javascript file

briboe — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:40:00 GMT

I am trying to import a javascript file from the repository into a webscript .js. I used the syntax from the Javascript API cookbook:<import resource="/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts/mylib.js">It is the first line in my script and the file exsists in the repository. However when I atte

Hi,

could you show us the contents of the included script ? Are you sure that your included script isn't missing the character ";" somewhere ?

I found the issue. I originally thought the error was caused by the import statement but it wasn't. An errant space found its way into the util.js in one of my var definitions. That was causing the error. Not sure how that happened since I copied a working script. Must have fat fingered somehwere ops: . Thanks cbosdonnat for looking at the post.

hi

i have a similar issue

i tried doing <import resource="classpath:alfresco/extension/templates/gbs/pvtbankingspace/pvtbanking.js"> mentioned in the api cookbook but got an error saying
:: org.mozilla.javascript.EvaluatorException - syntax error (AlfrescoScript#14)

My webscript is :
<import resource="classpath:alfresco/extension/templates/gbs/pvtbankingspace/pvtbanking.js">
var sectionName;
for each (field in formdata.fields)
{
    if (field.name == "sectionName")
    {
        sectionName = field.value;
    }
}

sectionName=""+sectionName;
sectionName=sectionName.replace(eval(/ /g),"_");

createFolder(pvtBankingPath, sectionName);
createFolder(pvtBankingSharedPath, sectionName);

model.sectionName=sectionName;

function createFolder(parentPath, newNodeName){
    var parentNode=companyhome.childByNamePath(parentPath);
    var _newNode = parentNode.createFolder(newNodeName);
    _newNode.save();
}
though it showed me error while compiling i deployed it thinking it would work .Could u please help me out with this problem.

Your problem is unlikely to do with the <import> statement as the runtime reports the problem at line #14. As the runtime includes code lines in imported files, you need to either post that too, or work out which is line 14 yourself after concatenating the files together.

I guess there are no updates on the same issue and i am facing a similar problem.I have tried all the options mentioned in this post but none of them is working.Please revert back.

As I said before, I don't think your problem is with the import statement, but with whatever in your code is at line #14.

syntax error (AlfrescoScript#14)

You need to find out exactly what statement is at that line by either posting the contents of pvtbanking.js or telling us how many code lines it contains (if it's more than 14 then the error is there).

I suggest pasting the contents of that file into your main webscript in place of the import statement and checking the code works as expected.

hi mike,
My code works absolutely fine when i paste the contents of the file "pvtbanking.js" in my webscript but fails in the import statement .The syntax problem it shows me is on the if condition in the above mentioned script but i dont think anything is wrong with that.Basically i wanted to load and read the contents from the js since i have to reuse the values again and again.I wanted a way out to do this and saw one of the Alfresco's Api's offering the import statement.But there was an issue when i did that.Please give me a way out to this problem.

This format definitely works:

<import resource="classpath:/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot/documentlibrary/action-sets.lib.js">‍

Make sure you've got the leading "/" and the full path.

Hi mike,

Thank you for your inputs.However i used "<import resource="classpath:alfresco/extension/templates/webscripts/it/sella/intranet/dmservice/pvtbankingspace/pvtbanking.js">" without the "/" before alfresco which worked perfectly well.

I tried using "/" as u had said "<import resource="classpath:/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot/documentlibrary/action-sets.lib.js">"
and the full path but it did not work.

If you get a syntax error, it means you have a JavaScript comment or similar above the import line - they *must* be first in the file as the pre-processor does not understand javascript comments (to make it simple and fast!)

Cheers,

Hi
I'm following up on this thread cause it seems like it's somehow related.
I get error

04160096 Unable to locate included script classpath resource

with this first line of code in my comments-list.get.html.ftl (loaded under Repository/Webscripts, where I usually load any custom webscript)

<import resource="classpath:/alfresco/templates/org/alfresco/import/alfresco-util.js">‍

Is there anything wrong? I can't get around the problem, not even copying the file in the same folder cause it recursively loads other classpath-relative .js

Re: Problem Importing Javascript file

kevinr — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:39:10 GMT

The utils file you are loading is part of Share (web-tier, different app) not Alfresco server. Which is why it hasn't been found by a webscript in Repository/Webscripts.

Thanks a lot kevinr for pointing out the problem. Do you have any suggestions on how to get around the problem?

I want to load (asynchronously) the properly-formatted comments list, but I'm unable to figure out what .ftl/.head.ftl I need to load to recreate all the required markup (basically: comments-list.get.html.ftl adds the call to

Alfresco.CommentsList‍

, but this Alfresco object is defined in the comments-list-min.js, previously included with comments-list.get.head.ftl
Any way to include files even if they are not in the same tier?

I am having problems to make request in alfresco database.
I followed this tutorial: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/3.4_JavaScript_API,and created a simple js file for the request.
<import resource="classpath:alfresco/extension/myutils.js">
<import resource="/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts/mylib.js">

function requestSearch(){
var nodes = search.luceneSearch("TEXT:alfresco");
return nodes;
}

$(function() {

$("#articles").click( function(){
alert( requestSearch());
});
});
with just a simple request to display alfresco text.
but it doesn't work, et when i debug an error is shown at the import of librairies.
i checked the location of theses libraries files in "/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts/, but they don't exist in that location and i didn't manage to find where they are.
Does anyone know where are they located?
or am i on the wrong path?

thx!

Re: Problem Importing Javascript file

kaynezhang — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 15:18:38 GMT

By your code


$(function() {

$("#articles").click( function(){
alert( requestSearch());
});
});
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I gues your reqeustSearch() is client-side JavaScript .
the import command and search object should be run in server side and executed in the alfresco repository context

thanks,

Actually I'm pretty new to Alfresco as you can guess.

Can you clarify something for me, should I go the webscript route, and then what kind of step am I missing ?
I tried the webscripts route according to this ttutorial : http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/webscripts/tutorial/tutorial.html#what-is-the-web-script-framework ,
here is the helloworld.get.desc.xml :
<webscript>
<shortname>Hello World</shortname>
<description>Hello world web script</description>
<url>/helloworld?name={nameArgument}</url>
</webscript>

the helloworld.get.js
model.foo = "bar";

and the helloworld.get.html.ftl

Hello, ${args.name}!

Foo: ${foo}

When i try without the Foo: ${foo}, it works, but when i try with it, i get an error like:

The Web Script /alfresco/service/helloworld has responded with a status of 500 - Internal Error.

500 Description: An error inside the HTTP server which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Message: 03040065 Wrapped Exception (with status template): 03040100 Erreur lors du traitement du modèle 'Expression foo is undefined on line 4, column 17 in helloworld.get.html.ftl.'. Veuillez contacter votre administrateur système.

Am i missing something?
thanx in advance

It seems there is nothing wrong with your code ,please make sure all your files are encoded using utf-8 and there is no garbled character in these files.

And for testing purpose ,I suggest you add following line <authentication>guest</authentication> to your hellowworld.get.desc.xml，like following


<webscript>
<shortname>Hello World</shortname>
<description>Hello world web script</description>
<url>/helloworld?name={nameArgument}</url>
<authentication>guest</authentication>
</webscript>
