Testing scripts

Introduction

The script editor has an integrated testing panel, to the right of your code:

Here, you can enter a sample payload with (if needed by the script) sample variables and run the script in test mode.

The steps

Follow the steps below:

Step 1 Move across to the test panel, to the right.

Step 2 Add/paste a payload that can be used to test your script - for example:

Step 3 If your script references variables or flow variables, you can also add variables for testing:

Step 4 Click the run button:

...the script runs against your test payload and results are displayed at the end - for example:

For more detailed information about a script test, you can get logs:

...current logs are displayed:

Step 5 Keep testing the script until you're satisfied that it's working as required.

Any time that you make a change to the script and want to test it, always save and deploy the code first. When you run a script, it always uses the last saved version.

Once these tests are complete, you can:

• Apply a payload-level script to process flows via the script shape
• Apply a field-level custom script to field transformations via the map shape
