Client Side JavaScript does not run at all

[ndsza]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some help with client side scripting using javascript. I've been stuck on this for a couple of days now looking through forums but I can't seem to find a solution.

I'm following this walkthrough from Microsoft - Tutorial: Write your first client script in model-driven apps - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs

I've followed each step word for word and copied the exact same code but I don't see any of the changes happen. Here's the code I'm using (exactly the same as what is in the walkthrough above):

// A namespace defined for the sample code
// As a best practice, you should always define 
// a unique namespace for your libraries
var Sdk = window.Sdk || {};
(function () {
    // Define some global variables
    var myUniqueId = "_myUniqueId"; // Define an ID for the notification
    var currentUserName = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.userName; // get current user name
    var message = currentUserName + ": Your JavaScript code in action!";

    // Code to run in the form OnLoad event
    this.formOnLoad = function (executionContext) {
        var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

        // display the form level notification as an INFO
        formContext.ui.setFormNotification(message, "INFO", myUniqueId);

        // Wait for 5 seconds before clearing the notification
        window.setTimeout(function () { formContext.ui.clearFormNotification(myUniqueId); }, 5000);
    }

    // Code to run in the column OnChange event 
    this.attributeOnChange = function (executionContext) {
        var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

        // Automatically set some column values if the account name contains "Contoso"
        var accountName = formContext.getAttribute("name").getValue();
        if (accountName.toLowerCase().search("contoso") != -1) {
            formContext.getAttribute("websiteurl").setValue("https://www.contoso.com");
            formContext.getAttribute("telephone1").setValue("425-555-0100");
            formContext.getAttribute("description").setValue("Website URL, Phone and Description set using custom script.");
        }
    }

    // Code to run in the form OnSave event 
    this.formOnSave = function () {
        // Display an alert dialog
        Xrm.Navigation.openAlertDialog({ text: "Record saved." });
    }
}).call(Sdk);

I take this code and go the the Main Information Form in my Accounts table and add it as a JS Library and then setup the event handlers, again exactly as described and word for word. I'm using the unified interface, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

But, I don't see the notification at the top, the changes when the attribute changes or the pop-up when the record is saved. No errors when I open up dev tools in both Edge and Chrome either. Tried it in both regular and incognito modes.

Could someone please take a look and let me know what I might be doing wrong? 

Thanks,

Neil.

Hi @ndsza ,

Add Alert in your code to check till what point code is executing.

Also, add below statement in your code for both onload and attributes change method.

debugger;

Now open Dev tool and refresh your form to debug your code.

Thanks,

Bipin

Kudos and accept my solution if helpful!

Hi @ndsza 

just checking are you testing with account which has got "Contoso" in the account name field? script only works for accounts which got this text in account name..

also look at following article regarding how to debug d365 javascript..

Hi everyone, thanks for the suggestions. I ended up reinstalling both Edge and Chrome and everything is working now. Not sure what the exact cause was, but this has fixed it for me.

Yikes! Struggled with this for a few hours. Tried different browser on this machine and worked. That's a bit uncomfortable.
