sn-filesync's Issues

preLoadList files doesn't honor subDirPattern settings in folders

Thanks for this useful tool!

The issue is, for example, if there's a business_rules rule.js, with subDirPattern: collection/when, it would land at buiness_rules/table_name/after/rule.js if it's downloaded by search. However if it's included the in preLoadList, the file would end up at buiness_rules/rule.js. It wouldn't keep the same final downloaded folder file structures.

As a results of these, if I share a exported settings.json to other people, the resulting workspace folder would look quite different from mine which generated the settings.

filesync on Windows OS

Hi,
I setup the filesync accordingly (instance, user/pass, directories). Now when I create an empty file and wait for the filesync mechansim to grab the content from the instance I get the following error:

C:tmp\filesync\app\src\snc-client.js:25
            if (res.statusCode !== 200) {
                   ^

Duplicate records may be downloaded for extended tables

If both catalog client scripts and client scripts are being synced then it's possible that the same catalog client script record will be downloaded for both tables. There is true for any extended table concept. In this case one could just sync the client scripts table and not the catalog client scripts table to avoid the issue.

TODO: Make use of the sys_class_name column to distinguish such cases.

Pulling updates from server

Dan,

What an awesome solution! This answers a lot of the pro-code development challenges my team has had. Thank you!

One thing I am wondering, the watcher does a great job detecting changes on the server and telling me that my local version is out of sync. Is there a way to pull the changes to the single file down without doing a full --resync?

issue saving, not uploading local changes to instance

Trying to set this up. I wanted to include inbound actions, and I have them downloading but when I try to edit a file, once I save, it resyncs the instance version over my update.

--resync overrides additional fields when js is first field for table

Hello. The is problem (or may be it just not documented?).

For example i want to get ui_actions script & condition
If set up config like this:
"ui_actions": { "table": "sys_ui_action", "key": "name", "fields": { "js": "script", "condition.js": "condition" }, "subDirPattern": "table/client_<client>", "_custom": true },
on next --resync all *.condition.js files' content is overridden with content of UI action script. For example if i had 'Move Equipment.condition.js' and 'Move Equipment.js' both of them will have code of 'Move Equipment.js'.

Putting js field as last field solves the problem. So
"ui_actions": { "table": "sys_ui_action", "key": "name", "fields": { "condition.js": "condition", "js": "script" }, "subDirPattern": "table/client_<client>", "_custom": true }, + --resync will get everything back to normal.

Allow generating a preLoad list from existing records (to help ramp-up new devs)

When a dev leaves or completes a project it would be really nice to provide a config file for next dev so that they simply start up FileSync and then have the same set of records automatically downloaded.

This would greatly help with maintainability and handover of a project!

Would be a simple case of examining the existing files/records that have been downloaded and building a JSON config file with the correct "folders" and "preLoad" definitions. Eg.

./node-darwin --export-setup ~/Desktop/cms.records.config.json

Syncing empty fields may cause human and system sync confusion

If a ui action has no content in the script field then the download will be "" or 0 bytes. The system will think it hasn't been downloaded and try and request each time you start the tool.

There is no known work around other than being a smarter user... Why are they downloaded scripts of 0 bytes?... add something once downloaded and the problem is gone!

SOLUTION 1:

Potentially we can resolve this issue by saving "sync data" that the last downloaded remote version was 0 bytes and therefore ignore the file during startup. We would need to reset the sync data for this file if the record changed on the server to have content. We would then always check for special sync data before trying to download a record for the first time.

SOLUTION 2:

Check the timestamp when the 0 bytes file was created. If the time is more than 5 seconds in the past then assume that it has already been processed and the record should stay as 0 bytes. Potentially delete the local 0 bytes file to save on processing checks OR simply rename to signify that it has been skipped: "MyEmptyScript.js" => "__MyEmptyScript.js" and then ignore files starting with "__".

config option "ignoreList" is seemingly ignored

I have added the following to my config file:

"ignoreList": ["*.todo"]

But I still get this in the console when I start the app:

13:34:07 - warn: File cannot be tracked because it is not valid: /Users/matt/Work/sn-scripts/todo.todo

I have also tried the following to no avail:

"ignoreList": ["./*.todo"]
"ignoreList": ["/.*\\.todo/"]
"ignoreList": "*.todo"

The readme states the default value for this property is /[\/\\]\./. I assumed that overriding it would stop this default ignore from working, but if I create ".filename" then this does appear to be ignored. This leads me to believe the property from my config file is maybe being ignored.

Domain Separation: the domain chosen in the browser is ignored (due to session based setting)

If you are using domain separation then the records will only ever be updated based on the users domain.

If you change the domain in the web browser then it is only set per session and not per user. There is no workaround other than using the standard ServiceNow interface to do changes to records that need to be in a different domain than the current user.

2 proposals:

1. Save the domain information in a meta file when the record is first downloaded. Use this information to always set the domain field for the record correctly.
2. Let the user specify the domain via a comment like /* DOMAIN MUST BE: global */ in the file. Would help future users to ensure they do not edit the file in the wrong domain.

Perhaps both proposals should be implemented as domain separation can be problematic to debug.

---

When we download a file we have the full sys_domain details that can be used to update the record correctly. The domain data looks like this:

sys_domain: '86799cc40f943100308a0eece1050e77',
sys_domain_path: '!!!/!!$/',

OR

sys_domain: 'global',
sys_domain_path: '/',

In any case, these 2 properties could be stored somewhere. In the file is not so ideal because we need to pollute someones code/xhtml block. Saving in a .meta dir would be ok but makes for more files. We should instead extend the existing .sync concept and save out JSON files like this:

{
  syncHash: "231234827398472937492sadsasdas12",
  sys_domain: '86799cc40f943100308a0eece1050e77',
  sys_domain_path: '!!!/!!$/',
  sys_updated_on: '2015-03-25 11:26:57',
  sys_updated_by: 'joe.blogs',
  sys_scope: 'global',
  sys_id: 'd31951010f8b7100f5a07f5ce1050ec9',
}

Download zip is corrupt

I am unable to open the zip file after download. Says the file is corrupt.

unable to open Zip, or Clone project due to directory length

For us poor windows users, we are unable to download the project or clone it with GitDesktop- the file paths exceed windows allowances and we get the following errors;

Meaning of records_per_search

Hi,
I'd like to ask why one would want to limit the number of records in a search? (the records_per_search option)
If the reason is performance, ServiceNow supports pagination (you can download e.g. 100 rows and then continue with next 100 rows; the server sends the URL for the next page in response headers).

Or is there any other reason?

Thanks

Upgrade to use standard npm/node package setup

Hi Dan,

I wanted to start a dialogue with you, to gauge your interest regarding some changes to filesync. I've created a fork to experiment with some updates, many of which may be aligned with your roadmap for the project, but also contains some opinionated changes which, I admit, may not at all align.

In brief, I wanted to do away with dedicated binaries and custom shell scripts, to be able to run with my locally installed version of node (currently Node.js 0.12), and lastly make configs a little easier to use (incorporating patterns I've seen from config-handling in other command-line tools).

At your convenience, please review this fork and let me know if you might be interested in a PR containing any of these changes. Though arguably necessary, the restructuring done in my fork is in many ways quite radical. I figured some experimentation and posting an issue here was more appropriate than simply sending a pull request.

Tangentially related, I'm curious if you have a test script or perhaps other steps you personally take, in addition to utilizing the --test flag, to determine if a milestone is suitable for release. The changes I've made pass all the tests invoked by --test, but I'm skeptical that those alone can uncover any regressions or new bugs I may have introduced.

Thanks,
-Karim

Search should support files with "/" or "*" and similar chars in record names

When the key field of a record that is used to create the filename contains a non filesystem friendly character then the file will not be output.

Find a way to support this. Current approach skips the file.

Allow using sys_ids to match records and ensure future proof.

The system currently relies on a "search" style query returning the correct result by checking the table and a field value to find the correct record. In the case of UI actions "Save" is a common name and there are not really any other reasonable fields other than "action_name" to use (which is still not unique). The same can be true when having multiple CMS themes with stylesheets named like "layout".

This has not proven to be a destructive issue because the developer will know if they have the correct record or not and once a record is saved, the hash of the contents is always used to compare records therefore avoiding overwrite of other instance records with the same name.

SOLUTION 1.
Allow files to be named in the format "sys_id_25928b23377375002cfb696043990e62.js" so that it is guaranteed we have a unique record. Optionally allow other descriptive text to be added to the name like "sys_id_25928b23377375002cfb696043990e62_save button.js".

SOLUTION 2.
Save the actual sys_id in the ./sync_data/ cache to reduce human error. If the file is named like "sys_id_save_btn.js" then the record "save_btn" is downloaded via query search but subsequent requests are made via the sys_id that is saved with the other meta data. This ensures that the user checks the resulting download the first time but doesn't need to worry about future records that might also be named "save_btn".

SOLUTION 3.
To make the first run fool proof, enforce file naming like "sys_id_25928b23377375002cfb696043990e62_save_btn.js" and then rename the file (and cache data to match) as "sys_id_save_btn.js". This approach may cause potential editor app confusion.

Issue with setup

Not sure if an issue is the best place for this, but I finally have a bit of time to look into getting filesync running and am having issues with the sync.

I've tried this in our company instance and on a developer instance with multiple machines. Here is the command line output. Any suggestions on what i might be missing? One thing I noticed is the sys_id is blank, but i'm erroring out when getting records as well.

Additional details on notifications

I'd find it very helpful if the sync notifications showed which instance the file got synced to. Even better if it could also show the updateset that the change gets recorded in.

Resync issue on windows

Hello dynamicdan,

I found an issue on windows running resync command(node.exe src\app --resync).
I am still getting error: 'Failed to find root folder.'
Issue is in src\file-record.js in method getRoot.
I found cause of the problem: path.dirname(this.filePath) returns path with '/' and in config is '' in filepath.
I rewrote the method to:
method.getRoot = function () {
// cache
if (this.rootDir) return this.rootDir;

var root = path.dirname(this.filePath).replace(/\//g, "\\");//issue
while (!this.config.roots[root]) {
    var up = path.dirname(root).replace(/\//g, "\\");//issue

    if (root === up) throw new Error('Failed to find root folder.');
    root = up;
}

return root;

};
I didn't want to make an commit, because I don't fully understand node.js and don't know what is affected in solution. Could you please test this fix on mac? On windows it looks like it works. Files are resynced.

And also for the future. It would be nice to have flag in config 'resyncOnStart' and it would only resynced files from server which are newer than local ones.(I think this check is already on conflict resolution)

Thanks,
Jakub

Problem with files with _task in file name

Dan,

I created a new scss partial on my instance and when I try and create it locally and sync, I get an error. It appears like the code is adding an extra _ underscore to the filename

Visual Studio: Local file sometimes overwritten during sync (atomic save)

When using sn-filesync on windows 10 with vscode sometimes it happens that sn-filesync will pull the file from service-now instead of pushing it on save. It seems like sn-filesync assumes the file is empty during save and pulls it from the instance. Apparently you can't even Ctrl+Z to get back your changes, so you have data loss which is pretty annoying. Maybe I can provide a fix, currently looking into this issue. Anybody else can reproduce this behavior?

Mass Commit

If I were able to commit all files from the local machine at once, or track which files have been modified since being synced down from the server and only commit those files, that would be a nice functionality to have, being able to mass commit, and run the same command that runs when a file is saved on multiple files at the same time.

This would also accomplish the "offline" functionality mentioned in the roadmap as a possibly nice enhancement, and I suppose that I am used to having this functionality having used a plugin that fills a similar need for Salesforce called MavensMate. It just gives you the ability to have your edits be in lock step with the server (ServiceNow), or to be able to locally save your files many times before you decide you are ready for committing those changes up to the server. There is also an option to configure if you would like your "save" commands to automatically initiate the "commit" command up to the server, if this helps from a system-design reference. Thank you so much for all of the pioneering work you have done to expose ServiceNow to the IDE, I really appreciate it, and appreciate you sharing it. Thank you

Passwords in config file are not being encrypted

The passwords in my app.config.json file remain in plain text format after FileSync is run. The command window displays the 'Configuration: credentials encoded.' but this doesn't seem to be happening.

Proxy Support

Any suggestion on getting filesync to work through a proxy? Our company uses websense endpoint which isn't playing nice with the SSL.

Randomly quitting on me

Dan,

Every once in awhile, I'll save a file and not see the growl notification. I switch back to my terminal and see

Same named files are overridden from a different File Record

Hi @dynamicdan,

Thank you for making and maintaining this very useful tool.

I'm running into a weird issue, I have the following (simplified) folder records:

└───ui_actions
    ├───table1
    │   └───client_true
    │       └───process.js  # (file 1)
    └───table2
        └───client_true
            └───process.js  # (file 2)

There are 2 same named UI Actions that's associated with 2 different tables. When a --resync is done. file 1 would be override with the content of file 2. This can be fixed by a pull-down of only file 1 again.

• .\app.js --download --search sys_ui_action_<file_1_sys_id>

Read me is missing info

Can you please update the read me info for this repo to show how to download all files from an instance. You talk about doing a system wide search for code issues in your Tips section of search. But do not provide the information or command to be able to pull everything down across all tables.

Mention contributors because THEY are AWESOME

Update Read me with new section!

Changing network connection requires restart

If you work on a laptop and utilise say a 3G connection via your phone and then later switch to WiFi then the script won't work. Restarting the script kicks it back into life.

This may simply mean a "connection reset" is required. This can potentially be looked up with some low level node/system code?

Initial Synchronize with files

Im trying to do an initial sync of the instance, but only makes the folders structure

i tried also search:
"all": {
"table": "sp_widget",
"download": true,
"fullRecord": true,
}

but how to put multiple tables

also looking for subdirparttern to save the html, css, and js of each record in a subfolder of the table folder but dont understand how

Search does not handle duplicate file names from unique records

If a record exists on a table with the same name as another then there will only be one file output instead of 2.

Migrate from Restify to Restler

In order to remove the need for a compiler, I have started a fork that uses restler instead of restify.

Thoughts?

Record with multiple scripts/css/xml does not download with search/download

I have a custom record that has 3 scripts. I can setup the config file to handle each and they work separately however when using --search and --download, they are not all created. Only one will be created.

Touching the appropriate files that were not created will cause the sync to happen correctly, there is just no way for the --search --download to do it for the user.

Cant sync tests

I'm trying to sync Tests files but cant find the way.
I've create add to my configuration file this:

...
"folders": {
      "tests": {
            "table": "sys_atf_test",
            "key": "name",
            "fields": {
                "js": "script"
            }
        },
.....

It recognize the tests files but it doesn't download any of them, just write a log like this:

12:34:39 - warn: Found but will ignore to protected record: C:/projects/servicenow/testsSync/src/tests/ .... DummyTest.js

I have no protection policy configured in Service Now, and I've tried changing the protection policy from "None", to "Read-only" and to "Protected" but it doesn't work with any of them.

Any idea what is the issue?

Possibility to sync images

Hi @dynamicdan ,

Is there a chance to sync images and related table?

Files sync but can't push.

Trying to sync my demo instance and it pulls all the records but I'm unable to sync my changes back to the server.

It says it's watching for changes.

16:46:41 - info: *********** Watching for changes ***********
16:46:41 - info: Created folders required for syncing records

Not sure if I setup my configuration wrong.

Any thoughts?

Edit: I am using the 'Geneva' release of ServiceNow.

Edit #2: Finally got it working, I had to delete my original config file. However, I get a

12:59:05 - warn: No map

Not sure what this means? my folder structure is there.

Getting 302 - Moved Temporarily

Error: 302 - Moved Temporarily - Verify JSON Web Service plugin is activated.]

I'm on Madrid for ServiceNow, but the JSON Web Service plugin isn't available on my instance. Is there a workaround for this?

Dan,

I'll start brushing up on my node skills and troubleshooting these myself, but until then, I'll share what I find with you.

Push file to instance with predefined Update Set

It would be helpful to have the option to force a specific update set per file when pushing a file to the instance.

I can imagine to specify this by adding a comment to the file in the first line that contains the sysId of the Update Set or the clear name.

When pushing to the instance, this first line could be parsed out to not be visible in the instance.
On the other hand when pulling a file from the instance, a check is done against the local file to add the comment again to the file after download.

I feel able to implement it myself, but first i want to verify the approach.
