TESTING_MODE()

syndeo

Build Number	Database	OS
3505	Derby	Windows 11

What I did…

Used function TESTING_MODE()

IF TESTING_MODE() = 'Yes'THEN
Do something
`

What I expected to happen

When in testing mode returns ‘Yes’ result.

I also tested using DISPLAY MESSAGE TESTING_MODE()

What happened

DISPLAY MESSAGE returned value ‘false’

Attached example BSV
Attached log files

Furthering investigation of the rule log

it applies a further condition of NOT when evaluation the rule.

I have therefore found that the following condition works

IF NOT (TESTING_MODE()=‘Yes’) THEN
‘You are in testing mode’
ELSE
‘You are in production mode’

The documentation does not state this.

I’ve always used the testing mode function.
Not gonna install your BSV, but exactly what is your problem?

Also, just out of curiosity, why are you still using Derby?

No reason for not using another database other than not moving across yet.

I have a logout function. If the user is in testing mode it navigates to the testing url = .jsp?domain=myDomanin&testingMode=true

if the user is in prod it navigates to .jsp?domain=myDomanin

After further investigation my issue is not the TESTING_MODE(), it’s the rule I have before that.

so TESTING_MODE function is working as expected as far as I can see and there is no issue here other than me 😉

i had the following process:

FIND SystemUser WHERE SystemUser =LoggedInSystemUser
Logout SystemUser

then I had the checking testing mode function

IF TESTING_MODE() = 'Yes' THEN EXEC_SCRIPT 'window.location.replace(https://myServer/AwareIM/logon.jsp?domain=myDomain&testingMode=true);' ELSE EXEC_SCRIPT 'window.location.replace(https://myServer/AwareIM/logon.jsp?domain=myDomain);'

This was not working. From testing I assume after the logout procedure is run the system evaluates TESTING_MODE() differently.

@aware_support could you please confirm my assumption?

You do not need to find the system user before you are able to logout, using LOGOUT LoggedInSystemUser will work.

Also did some testing myself and it seems that TESTING_MODE() returns ‘No’ when I check the logs even when I am in testing mode so it might be broken (I am on Version 9).

Below is a work around you can use.

"EXEC_SCRIPT ` let TestingMode = AwareApp.isTestingMode();
if (TestingMode=‘true’) {
window.location.replace(https://myServer/AwareIM/logon.jsp?domain=myDomain&testingMode=true);
}
else {
window.location.replace(https://myServer/AwareIM/logon.jsp?domain=myDomain);
}'
"

@syndeo
I honestly do not understand all this fuss about testing mode.
How many different people on your App(s) access it in testing mode ?
