Error Creating Space

When I try to create a space at the Company Home level, I get the following error in the browser:Failed to create new space due to error: Failed to execute script 'workspace://SpacesStore/2fe67f16-31a6-11dd-8332-17eb8617dd4e': Failed to execute script 'workspace://SpacesStore/2fe67f16-31a6-11dd-8332

Looks like you (or someone else on your system) has added a script-based rule which has a coding error when run from Company Home.

Ah, youre right, because there is one rule that is defined for the company home space. I think Ill blame the interns - they are the ones that set this up :-D. So anyways, I am unsure of why the error is occurring as the following code seems valid to me. Here is the script that is being executed:

var destination = companyhome.childByNamePath("Transportation");
      
document.move(destination);‍‍‍

I do not understand why it cannot execute the childByNamePath, unless it is applying the rule to the 'to be created' space and then looking for a space called "Transportation" in there. Thoughts?

Looks like you may have stumbled on a bug - what's the rule configured to fire on?

As a workaround, you can check the value of companyhome is sensible before the rest of the script.

Heres the summary of the rule:

Rule Type:   inbound
Name:   File document
Description:
Apply rule to sub spaces:   No
Run rule in background:   No
Disable rule:   No
Conditions:   All Items
Actions:   Executes script 'top-level-file.js'

I have changed the script to check if companyhome is null. I have tried different methods to check it (just to be sure) and I still get the same error. I have tried the following:

if (companyhome != null) {

   var destination = companyhome.childByNamePath("Transportation");
      
   document.move(destination);
}‍‍‍‍‍‍

if (companyhome) {

   var destination = companyhome.childByNamePath("Transportation");
      
   document.move(destination);
}‍‍‍‍‍‍

if (!!companyhome) {

   var destination = companyhome.childByNamePath("Transportation");
      
   document.move(destination);
}‍‍‍‍‍‍
