About this task
When you choose to validate the JavaScript™ you entered in the editing
pane, Discover performs some
basic yet essential checks of the syntax of your script.
Procedure
- References to TL objects specified in the
$F, $P, $S,
and $H collections are checked to see if they are
valid references. - The JavaScript is
passed to the Event Tester for evaluation. The Event Tester contains
extra JavaScript validation
techniques.
Note: Validation cannot catch problems inside
a conditional block that does not run during the evaluation.
- Semicolons are optional in JavaScript. These are not validated.
- JavaScript is
checked for circular dependencies (EventA depends on EventA).
Note: JavaScript validation
does not check for cross-object circular dependencies (for example,
EventA depends on EventB, which depends on EventA).
