Problems copying a document to several userHome

[nimbus1958]

I have a document with a custom type.

One of those properties allow for the userNames of several users separated by space.

A script reads these userNames and copy the document to the relevant userHome space.

It works fine if I have only one user.

When I have two or more, I get errors.

Using the javascript console, I can see (via logger.log) the different userNames and the userNode but the moment I do a "document.copy(userNode), it crashes!

Anybody would have an idea?

Thanks,

Pablo

Basicaly, I have a NPE and I cannot see where!

[abbask01]

how do you find userHome space? can you check if userNode is null without executing the copy action

please upload your script

[nimbus1958]

Hello Abbas,

Here is my script (in work mode!)

var user = document.properties["mr:User"];
logger.log(user);
var n = (user.split(" ").length - 1);
logger.log(n);

if (n === 0) {
var person=people.getPerson(user);
var mailAdr=person.properties.email;
logger.log(mailAdr)
var userNode = companyhome.childByNamePath("/User Homes/" + user);

var ref = userNode.nodeRef;
ref = "https://www.nirond-doc.net/share/page/repository#filter=path%7C%2FUser%2520Homes%2F" + user + "&page=1";
logger.log(ref);

document.copy(userNode);

function sendMail()
{
var mail = actions.create("mail");
mail.parameters.to = mailAdr;
mail.parameters.subject = "New (snail)mail";
mail.parameters.from = "mailroom@nirond.be";
mail.parameters.text = "The following mail is available: " + document.name + " in " + ref;
mail.execute(document);
}
sendMail();

} else {
var num = (user.split(" ").length);

logger.log("num " + num);
var initials = (user.split(" "));
logger.log("initials " + initials);
var i;
for (i = 0; i < num; i++) {
logger.log(i);

var ref;
var refer;
var userNode;

var initCode = "ini" + i;

var initial = initials[i];
logger.log("initial " + initial);

var person=people.getPerson(initial);
var mailAdr=person.properties.email;
logger.log(mailAdr);

var userNode = companyhome.childByNamePath("/User Homes/" + initial);
logger.log(userNode);

var refer = "https://www.nirond-doc.net/share/page/repository#filter=path%7C%2FUser%2520Homes%2F" + initial + "&page=1";

/*document.copy(userNode);
/*
function sendMail()
{
var mail = actions.create("mail");
mail.parameters.to = mailAdr;
mail.parameters.subject = "New (snail)mail";
mail.parameters.from = "mailroom@nirond.be";
mail.parameters.text = "The following mail is available: " + document.name + " in " + ref;
mail.execute(document);
}
sendMail();
}*/
}
}

It all works until I do the copy(). If I have only one user, no problem!

That is why it is commented out!

[nimbus1958]

Latest news!

I found that the document.copy() does not work when inside a For loop!

[nimbus1958]

I have reduced my script to the following but no success. Same problem!

var user = document.properties["mr:User"];

var init = user.split(" ");

init.forEach(function(initial) {

var person = people.getPerson(initial);
var mailAdr = person.properties.email;

var userNode = companyhome.childByNamePath("/User Homes/" + initial);

document.copy(userNode);
});

If I log the variables, they are all there!

Solved! But I don't know why!

I remove all the "Logger.log" and voila! It all works now!

Thank you Abbas for taking the time to answer!
