TypeError: this.newItem is not a function - Client Side Error
I am attempting to run a Javascript/ client side method that calls other client method, and for some reason I am having a difficult time getting anything to work as I would expect. My confusion lies in many areas. The syntax check runs 'ok', no errors, but something tells me it is not working correctly (or at all) because it comes back with an OK immediately, no wait time. I am simply trying to grab an item of a particular name, grab it's ID, and hand that ID to a known, working method, that requires this item I am getting as the context item. var itemName = this.newItem("Itemtype", "get"); itemName.setProperty("name", "desired name"); itemName = itemName.apply(); var body = itemName.getID(); return innov.applyMethod("Second Method Name", body); When I run this from the intended run location (a button with an OnClick field event), I receive an error. My initial reaction is that, this.newItem is most certainly a function, and works both in server and client side code, not sure why this is the error. Very well could be something that I'm missing or not understanding. There is no other information in this error message, has anyone seen this before?
Enable Spinner on field event method
Hello, I have a javascript method that is triggered on change of a field value. This method takes 20 - 30 seconds to run and I want to be able to display the Aras spinner but nothing seems to be working. I have attempted multiple solutions from other posts but none have solved the issue. I noticed in the core function below my value for spinnerEl is always null. If anyone could provide any help it would be appreciated. BrowserHelper.prototype.toggleSpinner = function (context, state, spinnerId) { spinnerId = spinnerId || 'dimmer_spinner'; var spinnerEl = (context.ownerDocument || context).getElementById(spinnerId); if (!spinnerEl) { return false; } spinnerEl.classList.toggle('aras-hide', !state); return true; };Trigger Client Method on Relationship Replace
I have a client method defined to be triggered on an OnInsertRow event for the Part BOM relationship type. This method is not triggered when the user performs a Part BOM replace. The most likely reason for this is, when handling the replace Innovator is just doing an update of the Part BOM item. The Part BOM itemtype definition only allows OnBeforeNew, OnAfterNew, OnNew and OnShowItem client events. But these events are not triggered when doing a Part BOM replace. Is there any way to trigger a client method when doing a Part BOM replace?
CMF Property Coloring
Hello, I'm working through the CMF guide, and attempting to implement the task in 4.1.9 (Set the text color for a given zone) for a real world use case. In my Innovator instance, I have a CMF Item Type called MyPQD, with two properties -- MyStringProp, and MyTextProp. (per an earlier example in the guide) I'm using the following code, but not having any luck getting the color to change. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here: var color = "#008000"; var innovator = aras.newIOMInnovator(); var myElement = innovator.newItem("MyPQD", "cmf_updateElement"); myElement.setProperty("Text", MyTextProp); // create cmf style object and set available styles var cmfStyle = innovator.newItem("cmf_Style"); cmfStyle.setProperty("text_color", color); myElement.setPropertyAttribute("MyStringProp", "style", cmfStyle.toString()); // you should set value of property directly, otherwise it will be updated to empty value // for this purpose we need to get existing element with property var existmyElement = innovator.newItem("MyPQD", "cmf_getElement"); existmyElement = existmyElement.apply(); myElement.setProperty("MyStringProp", existmyElement.getProperty("MyStringProp")); myElement.apply();
Prefill simple search criteria in the search grid
Hello, For Documents item type, in the search grid I need the "Classification" to be prefilled to "General" . I applied client side method to "classification" and "search_default" properties of Documents but it doesn't work. "search_default" property did not exist before so I just added it, I don't know if that makes a difference. method: return {classification:{filterValue:"General",isFilterFixed:false}};
How to use Visual Studio Code 2022 for Coding Methods
I am new to Aras development, and I'd like to use Visual Studio Code 2022 ("VS Code") for coding Innovator methods. I found the ArasVSMethodPlugin project on GitHub, and its change log indicates that support for VS Code 2022 was added in version 1.21. However, when I attempt to load the plugin using the .vsix file from the Aras Innovator Method Plugin on Open VSIX (which was updated 3 months ago), I get a message telling me that Code can't find a package.json file that its expecting. Details about the package.json file for a VS Code extension can be found on this Publishing Extensions page. I was wondering if anyone else was using VS Code 2022 for coding methods and if they might have any additional information about how to get it working. Thanks in advance for any/all assistance.
