RE: Infinite loop with alert() inside a fieldChanged() ClientScript (with Chrome only !)

Suitescript 2.0

Hi Everyone,

I have a strange behavior on a SuiteScript ClientScript.

Here is my code :

define([], function() {

// METHOD FUNCTION

this._validateCouponCode = function() {

if(this.fieldId !== ‘custentity_sdr_coupon_code’) return true;

if(this.currentRecord.getText(‘custentity_sdr_coupon_code’).length < 5) {

alert(‘You must enter a coupon of 5 CHAR’);

return false;

}

return true;

}

this._disableCouponField = function() {

if(this.fieldId !== ‘custentity_sdr_apply_coupon’) return;

this.currentRecord

.getField({fieldId : ‘custentity_sdr_coupon_code’})

.isDisabled = (!this.currentRecord.getValue(‘custentity_sdr_apply_coupon’));

this.currentRecord

.setValue({

fieldId : ‘custentity_sdr_coupon_code’,

value : ”,

ignoreFieldChange : true

});

}

return {

// ENTRY POINT

fieldChanged: function (context) {

// declare useful references to the context Object

this.currentRecord = context.currentRecord;

this.fieldId = context.fieldId;

this._disableCouponField();

validateField: function(context) {

// declare useful references to the context Object

this.currentRecord = context.currentRecord;

this.fieldId = context.fieldId;

var arrayOfFieldToValidate = [

this._validateCouponCode()

]

//return (arrayOfFieldToValidate.indexOf(false) === -1);

return this._validateCouponCode();

}

});

But with Chrome only, I got an infinite loop of alert. I think this is because alert() method try to remove focus, and the validateField method is fired when the focus is removed from the field.

How can I solve that ?

I tested the script with IE and Firefox, even if the alert pop-out twice, it is not as disturbing than with Chrome.

Any help would be appreciate ?

Regards,

Loïc

I have not experienced this personally before and am not sure this would solve it, but you could try using dialog.alert (/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4497744851.html) via the N/ui/dialog module replacing the native JavaScript alert with the stylized NetSuite equivalent.

Hey, thanks a lot ! Even if it is not the perfect solution (the user have to click two time on the “OK” button), it is acceptable (it does not looks like a massive bug). Here the code I used :

dialog.confirm({

‘title’: ‘Data validation process’,

‘message’: ‘The coupon must have at least 5 character’

}).catch(function () { return false });

console.log(‘*** pending user action’);

I’ll try to contact NetSuite for a more “suitable” solution.
