Again a special interest topic, where only a few gifted persons will understand what it’s all about. Admins who actually program within Innovator will be familiar with the Method ItemType. A simple debugger is available for JavaScript methods, which is useful for basic syntax checks.
The code analysis tool used in Aras is JSHint. Therefore, we have to face some of the typical limitations of JSHint. In addition to the lack of support for modern JS stuff like async/await and the general lack of ways to check the accuracy of your code – JSHint will simply stop working if JavaScript Methods get too long…Read More →
