Illegal Character Error in Schema Javascript

[Jinhoe]

I added a "password" variable in Configuration and got Illegal Character error message when trying to save the script.

The line with the error looks something like this:

cmd = `Display ${password}`;

I was told to put variable in a string, I need to use backtick. Does anyone know what's wrong with it?

Hello ,

I tried your approach in the Node.js runtime environment and it works perfect, backticks are here not a problem.

Do you use the Node.js runtime environment too? If you use the JavaScript runtime environment, which bases on the Rhino engine 1.7 R4, backticks doesn't work.

The current release of Rhino supports backticks, but the concatenation of strings and variables is different.

Hope it helps.

Best regards
Stefan

 Thanks for your reply. I'm using JavaScript.

Looks like mine is Rhino engine 1.7 R4. But where can I verify? And how can I upgrade it?

Hello ,

you can get the version of the Rhino engine with the approach Easier Way to Detect Rhino Engine Version. For this it is however necessary to allow access to Java classes, in this case org.mozilla.javascript.*.

As far as I know is the Rhino engine fixed part of the appliance and can not be upgraded.

Best regards
Stefan
